The song seems to be one rejecting the idea of Marijuana prohibition as the user SwollenGoat68 has mentioned. 'Worker's version' refers to opinions of common masses. 'Verge of vernacular' might mean their being on the edge of falling back on the use of pot for numbing down their pain. Sour house is pot. Spectacular draculas might be inner or outer monsters Sweeter than cane because it gets you high. It is like exilir because it makes you feel good and at the same time kills your pain. Medicine of modern.......circles with no foci is about how modern medicine is not available for those out of focus or the lower strata of society. To them, expert opinion is hocus pocus. Those who avail the medicine also take a lot of it and our bodies deny them and possibly faces side effects. These are therefore useless like a circle without a foci if neither the poor can avail them nor the rich can benefit from. Trapped in a sap.......open up the door is all about marijuana use being centuries old, the ban on it and singer's plea to lift it. I couldn't figure out the chorus. Thank you :) |

Namaskar friends, I think the song is about a person who was friends with Jonathan Low. Jonathan got killed in a battle and the killer escaped with a lot of casualties on his side too. "Blood of his men was gone beneath snow He picked up his knife and bow Killer of Jonathan Low" Our hero seeks revenge for his late friend. He tells or asks for (not quite certain here) help from his kins. But, even when they know the killer and want to see justice delivered, fearing the enormous power of enemy, they refuse. "Violence from without And Anger from within Crawling through the fields Informing next to kin They all turned their backs But they all knew his name And if he could return They'd probably do the same." Eventually, with some help from friends (those who agreed to fight by his side), hero avenges his friend's death. But, revenge costs him some more friends! "Blood of his friends was gone beneath snow For all that I know, he died Killer of Jonathan Low" |
