| Low – Silver Rider Lyrics | 14 years ago |

The galactus theory occurred to me too, and I had forgotten the detail about the Silver Surfer saving the world in the original comic book. That part makes sense, but there's plenty of the song that it doesn't explain. For example, in "The great destroyer / she passes through you like a knife", the great destroyer would be Galactus, but Galactus was male. I also think it's more than a coincidence that the sung vocals sound so much like: "Nobody dreamed you'd say the word / love, love, love" That's the way I always heard it, and I was surprised to read different lyrics here. Maybe there's a double meaning. The "say the word / love" version suggests an ordinary human relationship. Maybe the "silver rider" is an old person with gray hair. In that case, the great destroyer would be Time, or Death ("the march is over"). Time and Death aren't usually represented as female either though. |
