This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Deserts in your eyes
A sea of sands and midnite stars
Losing touch, I become the sky
There is our last kiss
Now push on
Proceed to oblivion
Submerged in fluid
Suspended in thought
I reach the crest of the tallest peak
I can see for miles
Breathe deep
Breathe deep, engine sounds drowning me
Drones and hums fill my bones, open eyes wide
Breathe deep, static lights blinding eyes
Descent into signals, heart dies
Breathe deep, lulled by clicks and cycles
Held high from fires, a last breath
Sleep deeper, forget all that is known
Submit to the sun, regress to life
A sea of sands and midnite stars
Losing touch, I become the sky
There is our last kiss
Now push on
Proceed to oblivion
Submerged in fluid
Suspended in thought
I reach the crest of the tallest peak
I can see for miles
Breathe deep
Breathe deep, engine sounds drowning me
Drones and hums fill my bones, open eyes wide
Breathe deep, static lights blinding eyes
Descent into signals, heart dies
Breathe deep, lulled by clicks and cycles
Held high from fires, a last breath
Sleep deeper, forget all that is known
Submit to the sun, regress to life

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Although I can't fully grasp most of their lyrics, I think most of OMG's lyrics revolve around regressing into our primordial state as humans. As a result, many of their lyrics take a very naturalistic point of view. I think this song describes this regression of homosapiens (which, from their point of view is a progression.) However, one may infer from the lyrics that this "progression" is somehow instigated by aliens from outer space with the lines "static lights blinding eyes", "lulled by clicks and cycles", and "drones and hums fill my bones". I know I've read interviews by members of OMG and they have basically said the band is a big joke, but I think that is the general theme behind their lyrics.
Zozobra is actually a ritual kind of thing in Santa Fe, New Mexico where a giant effigy made of all sorts of crap is burned... His name Zozobra I think actually translates to "the gloomy one". The burning represents burning all the bad luck, hardships, and difficulties from the past year.
probably nothing to do with the meaning of the song, but an interesting tidbit nonetheless :)
Are you referring to the Burning Man Arts Festival?
Sounds like it.
I want to see more lyrics from these guys from the Christmas album they released.
