@[janeaparis1:22926] I know this is an old comment, but I'm just stumbling across it. Okay. So, there is no mention in this song of a "telescope". It mentions the spirit's telescopic eye, meaning the spirit's vision is now unfettered by physical conventions & "zooms in" on the action, flying overhead and watching the funeral procession. The lyrics very clearly say, "Ashes, bring me back to earth; water, quench my human thirst". In a way, the song describes the spirit reentering its body, maybe to symbolize rebirth. Your interpretation is way too literal. It's most definitely the spirit of the dead king, not a spectator. And again, "telescopic" is an adjective describing the narrator's visual acuity, not a noun indicating an actual object in the song. |
