| Sea Wolf – Orion & Dog Lyrics

The soft chord progression is so beautiful, and to me the lyrics bring up so many emotions. I love how much it references greek mythology, and not just the constellation "Orion". As mentioned, Orion had a dog, the star Sirus, and i think that the lover he may be talking to is Artemis. think about it, they became great, extremely intimate friends, borderline lover, which he was not used to. hence, "Forgive me if if I fear that you will change me" Because he is afraid of what many close intimate friends are, falling in love. But one night he has a dream that a scorpion (sent by Apollo) tried to kill him, and as he woke he went to tell Artemis, but guarding her door was the scorpion in his dream. he fought it valiantly, but the scorpions armor was too strong, and inevitably he was backed up against the sea, so in an effort to save himself, to have another day with Artemis, he jumped into the sea. "[Orion, she said] the only way that you will ever have me, Is if you threw your body into the sea" and " how your light will live beyond" probably refers to the constellation Artemis put in the sky as a memorial to him. When he said "your final summer song Or so it's fated" I'm assuming its his death, or leaving the earth to be in the heavens. Its a great story, with a great melody. |
