| This is such a sorrowful song, I have my bandmate's copy of it on vinyl - it's beautiful. | |

| Four years, fuck poor bastard... | |
| Tool – Third Eye Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| This is such a beautiful song, over the years it has meant many different things to me. It's capable of tearing you down and then comforting you like no other piece of music. | |
| Elliott Smith – Shooting Star Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| Ah, it's the beautiful ones that often burn you the most. | |
| The Drones – I See Seaweed Lyrics | 10 years ago |

"The whole thing is a love song, sort of. Dread. “I see seaweed” is a reference to the sea level rising, but I’m not saying [scared], “Ooh, climate change!” I’m not jumping on a soapbox or anything. I didn’t want a lot of it to be direct. You know when you have a dream – it doesn’t make sense, but it doesn’t mean that the dream doesn’t move you in a certain way, or disturb you. Even though it doesn’t work in any linear, rational way, or even in a metaphorical way. There’s something in it that’s pushing your buttons. This song is like that. Fear of flying is a deep dread, of something flying in demise … there’s a lot of flying in my dreams. The line, “Shooting at a shadow that a bomb blew on a wall” is when you’re trying to make your point – after it’s already been made in an aggressive way." - Gareth Liddiard |

| @[8394147:7304] Maybe so but it's a beautiful interpretation and that is more or less what I take away from the song. | |

I love how this song stretches between fading memories of halcyon childhood spent summer days, the continued spiral we seem to be on, rising sea levels, overpopulation and some kind of relationship the narrator had with a woman that is long dead and gone; possibly murdered. It's a very dark and rich narrative... Lockstepping is a close single filed march, I think this line is kind of comparing the earth's billions to drones or soldiers and "in the certainty that more need to be born" is skepticism towards overpopulation. Passports please... Maybe refers to the unholy misery of frequent flights, I think this verse hints at the disintegration of a person due to too much time spent traveling. One of Liddiard's solo songs deals with similar themes. Lockheed Martin is an aerospace, security and defence company, the line could be a nod to a flight in 1985 that crashed after flying into a microburst - the plane was a Lockheed TriStar I believe. Airbus SAS is a manufacturing division, possibly be referring to the French Airbus that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, sorry I can't remember what year. I saw The Drones on their most recent tour in Spain with the most intelligent and beautiful woman I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with... and I forget her all the time these days and be forgotten too... if only. They are definitely a band worth seeing live, I think I'll be seeing them for years to come. |
