The Red Sea Lyrics
Well to start off, for those that didn't know, the dialog in this song comes from the movie Hotel Room by David Lynch, Mr. Turner was obviously a solid fan of Lynch's work.
As for the interpretation, I think watching the movie will give you a bit more insight on the meanings of this song.
Cheers.
After you hear the dialogue in the beginning and then read the lyrics it somewhat makes sense. This song to me is from the female prospective and how much she missed her love one, and how she could not live without him. This is told in such lines daggers where your eyes should be, which is meaning how much it hurts her to know that he is gone.
anyone know where the starting dialogue is from? the guy sounds kinda like john travolta
The red sea is internal bleeding done... from yourself. Think about it, (smoking) blackened lungs (fluid/mucus/blood), tar seeps, Inject and remove, sweat soaked yellow, breathless trying to protect yourself from feelings. Then there is the insects from mosquito control stinging at your feet, so every step you take is affected by the people around you, and so the pain is like stabs in the eyes, and your blind to everything around you and to (reference to future albums) what the government and others are doing. and in the speech in the beginning it's like he is lost in this red sea, and is loosing human connections as a result. But since Isis uses a theme with women i think from the other point of view it is a loss of her human connection.
oh sorry didnt mention heat seeps in holes and souls, although that should be pretty obvious, from black suns to eye sockets, and whatever drug habit or problem you have but in this case think of smoke and how it seeps into the lowest crevices, all seeping into the hole that is you, and becoming permanent marks and burns in your soul.
sorry about the double post thing
This song is so evil , I listened to it on alot of speed once and just felt everything it was about. I live in a sea of red. Fuck Panopticon
