W.A.S.P. means White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, white predominance ;) pretty much explains the whole song and how it reflects Morrison's despise of them ;) |

first, i think all ? should be ! ;) so,i think the song is a tribute (and kind of love song) to lydia lunch. her first album is named 'queen of siam'. for the reminder of their england leg of the picture tour they had her as support act. according to the book 'never enough' she seemed to have an exhausting act but it left most of the audience unimpressed. so did the cure's performances. so i think all those lines like "the sound that could wake the dead but nobody woke up at all" refers to that. but smith was impressed by her. so that 'somebody' is actually him... |

c'mon people... there's nothing too special about these lyrics... THIS SONG IS ABOUT LSD (or a similar substance) !!! and it almost perfectly describes the way the trip feels like from start to end, both lyrically and musically... and for the trilogy concert also visually!!! and i'll try to explain it line by line... ish... the blind man is the writer of the song, and he kisses his own hands to lick the acid from it... the acid is "the eyes", cause lsd is said to "open" perception... so the blind man wants to "see"... the light (and also heat) of the sun becomes more intense and begins to blur so it feels like the sun is humming (this line is the perfect description of that impression, i felt exactly the same on one of my trips) his head falls to dust because the writer is no more able to think in a straight line and he gets on his knees to "play" with all the tiny silly things that come to one's attention when someone is on acid... the next few lines are just a description how it feels when acid finally fully hits... it hits by waves and it feels like you wanna close your eyes and just drown in everything around you... then the next "block" show that the writer was not alone to take the trip and that the person / people who was / were with him is / are tripping bad (or different than he is) and waits for the end of it and he tries to comfort him/her/them but is distracted by "a sudden hush across the water" which brings him either back into his own trip or into reality (i'm not completly sure about that)... the line "blind dancing on a beach of stone" could either be the description for the bad trip of the other person / people or mean that the location was somewhere on the european atlantic coast (which is doubtful :P) the next "block" is again the description of another full wave of acid to hit... the last block describes the way he "came down" from the trip, tired from the experience and intoxication he lays on the ground and comes back to reality which is kind of like the sky and the impossible (which means "no boundries") explodes (cause in reality, one is constantly confronted with boundries of any kind)... then he tries to manifest his experience in a "song" (which could have been any kind of art) but is not completly able to which makes him feel that this experience will be lost forever (but it could just be kind of robert's sarcasme and nihilisme at that time as well to put that "gone forever" thing in it) that's pretty much it... |
