The Severed Garden Lyrics
Live in the light of certain
South
Cruel bindings.
The servants have the power
Dog-men and their mean women
Pulling poor blankets over
Our sailors
Staring at me from the tv
Tower, I want roses in
My garden bower; dig?
Royal babies, rubies
Must now replace aborted
Strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood-meal
For the plant that's plowed.
The severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
Comes death on a strange hour
Unannounced, unplanned for
Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
Brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
And gives us wings
Where we had shoulders
Smooth as raven's
Claws
This other kingdom seems by far the best
Until it's other jaw reveals incest
And loose obedience to a vegetable law.
Prefer a feast of friends
To the giant family.
I dont understand this line, "live in the light of certian south" all i can guess is that he is referring to people in the past he idolizes
i love this track...i didnt know until recently that an entire album was made with jims recorded voice speaking verse while the rest of the band does the backup..i think it was done after he died..
I didnt know about that album either ^^^ it sounds great.
I love this track, its amazing and helps to think
its obviously about how death it less painful than life.
Well,death may be less painful than life but...I don't know.I believe that afterall he prefers life"I will not go Prefer a feast of friends To the giant family." He means that he's not going to join death and prefers to stay alive but then why did he actually die?Hahaha,I'm not sure but he may mean that he won't join God and Heaven.Nevermind,a very beatiful song and the melody is by an Italian composer,I can't recall his name right now...
the composer of this song was ALBINONI, he was a composer from Venice....beautifu song, gives me the chills and gets me teary eyed every single damn time i hear it!....the doors will live on for eternity and beyond that too!..cant wait to see them this tuesday (oct 6, 2009)at the NOKIA CLUB!...i know jim morrison will be there with all of us!...the lizard king lives on!!
Either that or the events and people in the past that have changed his life, for better or for worse.
"Until it's other jaw reveals incest"
"Prefer a feast of friends To the giant family."
Is there something Jim's not telling us... lol
I found this poem about Jim Morrison in a book I ordered on Amazon titled, “Midnight Writings by a Distant Mind Lost in Time” It was a great read.
"Through the Breaks" A wild child like the calm before the storm, A mesmerizing danger stirs up the world with a whirlwind of words. A lizard king waits in the sun among the desert lords, A spirit and mind mixed together with a poetic nature, Steps through the breaks of time, Opening the door to the other side. Between this world and the next, His voice will be heard forever echoing from the beyond, Tune in or tune out, However you can hear the songs.
R.I.P Jim Morrison
