First, there is significant sadness in the music, but a deep profound stillness as well. I always sensed that the lyrics were basically literal. He is laying in the sun possibly by the water, and gazing at a spider weaving or resting in its web. As a musician, he is neither composing or creating music, just enjoying the moment of stllness, feeling one with the spider, so insignificant, so small, yet a microcosm of the greater world. A world without sound can refer to Eno taking a break fromhis music and his career to just exist. The ship that sails away refers to his thoughts relaxing and drifting away as he unwinds from the daily stress of life as a human being. I don’t know... I just love this song. It’s haunting and lovely. |
