| Dirty Projectors – Fluorescent Half Dome Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Sounds like spiritual content - The first verse deals with transcendence/surrender being a natural reaction or need after dealing with "police and pretenders" or in other words, those who tell you what's right and wrong or your own mental 'policing' of yourself and then the phoniness and pretending among human beings. 'Searching the garden and the street' for a higher power or ultimate love in both the natural and materialistic realm. Then there is questioning himself - will he even know it if he finds this god/goddess/higher power? 'Fluorescent Half dome' being a half enlightened state like an awareness of full capacity for the this light but also a stupidity or doubt or something, leaving him only half illuminated... more transcendence, 'eternal love', needles in his eyes - perhaps hard to see this perfection of being, and his 'conceiving' of his life being mere conception and not what actually is, showing more restraining doubt? maybe. Chorus repeats - beautiful song. |
