Cataract (Wiretap Scars version) Lyrics
Locked up in the distance
in the falter above us
as the contrails pass you spoke your mind
old photos distort you
and you're frowning a smile
as the misery makes us blind
stand down, fall apart and the trouble starts
yeah the trouble starts over again
in the scenes of this casting
where a tragedy follows
as the contrails pass this vacant sky
Disappear, Orlean
away from tarnished golden arsenals
you're laying down again
disappear, Orlean
because your swansong fell on fallen heads
you're laying down again
time goes nowhere
in the falter above us
as the contrails pass you spoke your mind
old photos distort you
and you're frowning a smile
as the misery makes us blind
stand down, fall apart and the trouble starts
yeah the trouble starts over again
in the scenes of this casting
where a tragedy follows
as the contrails pass this vacant sky
away from tarnished golden arsenals
you're laying down again
disappear, Orlean
because your swansong fell on fallen heads
you're laying down again
time goes nowhere

i dont really know what this song is about, but i love it. it just sounds so awesome....
YES! i agree and love this song way too much to be true.... (like the whole cd) but... just a guess! is he singing about some breakup???? maybe... yes?
This song changed my life.
this song has been in my music library since january of 2004 because of assemble the empire and my compulsion to own entire albums. i just listened to it for the first time 5 minutes ago. i feel so deceived by myself for not listening to it seven years ago. it's that classic rarity; five short minutes of music that can alter an entire lifetime worth of experiences in the most powerful way.
well fuck. iäve been missing out.
This is my favorite song. Ever.
