| Bonnie 'Prince' Billy – The Lion Lair Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Wow, first comment! This is my favorite BBB tune. The whole thing is epic. A journey, a choice to enter the treacherous wilderness alone, the Lion Lair. Not quite at home with nature in her raw form, but striving to be "one with all life". Some kind of red canyon desert landscape, though exposed on treeless canyon-top (or in valley still protected by canyon), feels safe from whatever evil he's running from. Night full of stars, followed by burning day, rapid sunlight glimmers, passage of time. Vision quest, acid trip? Gripped in ecstasy, masturbates, imagining a woman he knows (nature herself?) giving him blow job. Finally, feels that the creatures of the wild are welcoming him, he washes off and goes to sleep on some forest floor. Overall: The solo human journey through life "Watch your own self", even solo sex, on a quest for "oneness with all life". Have a lot more thoughts on this, would love to first hear other takes on it. |
