| Brian Eno – Here He Comes Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Here he comes I don't think it is about death as it would have to be about suicide "who TRIED to vanish". To me Brian has never implied suicide in his songs. The fact that "he has SAD blue eyes" suggests that he did want to attain more than he was. Given that he "rose above reason" suggests that he did indeed attain. And that he was "seven feet high" and "floating like a dove" suggests he liked it. "Here he comes" would suggests he is very much alive and sharing his attainment. What is "no longer here" is a boy that HAD sad blue eyes. My guess is they are sad no more. But if they are it is because he longs for others to attain what he has. In fact, many want what he has "sees us following him", but not all achieve and why he is "checking out their eyes". One thing is for sure, he is in a better place "no longer with the dragonflies". Given that dragonflies connote far away lands, lands of fairies and lore, it suggests that he has attained something real and far better. |
