| Tsar – Silver Shifter Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I always think of a bike ride when I hear this song. A silver shifter is a cycling accessory. I imagine the guy Whalen heard this term and thought it had a provocative sound...turned it into a stream of images going in and out of a trippy bike ride. When I look at a lyric like this, I don't expect every line to have a deliberate meaning. A lot of it would be "here's a word that rhymes...which calls up another set of images..." Still, you could think about "slow dive...glider touching down...shift it out..." -- a trippy bike ride. Contrary to above lyrics, I hear "I will ride and you will find the moon will light moonlight." Getting a little reachier, the "slow gun" and "colorful flag" could be like a bike race...No? Okay, maybe not. Cool song, though, I dig it. | |
