Isle Of Her

anyone else notice how "isle of her" could easily sound like "i love her"?

hah i like this song :) reminds me of a war song the ROW theres only seven more miles togo lie 5 6 7 8 Shit >.

i thik it's about something like Homère Odysses and Iliade because of the words "row" like in a galley there's "seven miles to go" to find the "isles of her" the greek isle of Ulyss and his wife too. i think it's about Homère poetry too because of the "cyclops". It makes me think about difficulty to find love and the reflection that suggest this aim.

Well, I found something else (taken from http://www.pbsfm.org.au/Documents.asp?ID=4717&Title=The+Klaxons):

I suppose that Alfred Jarry, on his own, did inspire from Odissey.

Oh, how nice is songmeanings that put away everything I wrote in the middle. I try again:

Well, I found something else (taken from http://www.pbsfm.org.au/Documents.asp?ID=4717&Title=The+Klaxons):

Or what about The Isle of Her, based on a short story by the French absurdist writer Alfred Jarry, Concerning the Cyclops and the Isle of Her?

“It was a story about rowing towards this island that was guarded by a Cyclops with mirrors hanging from its ears, and he used to breathe out crystals”.

I suppose that Alfred Jarry, on his own, did inspire from Odissey.

Theres a verse thats missing in these lyrics

the missing verse irks me to no end

Row! There's only seven more miles to go Row! There's only seven more miles to go Row! There's only seven more miles to go Row! There's only seven more miles to go

Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll reach the Isle of Her Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll find the peacocks tail Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll steal the mother of pearl Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll eat the dancing girls

Cyclops gazing alone Row! Facing mirrors that show Row! The reflection of his own Row! Face to face

A hand on each of the oars A hand on each of the oars We're seven miles from shore Just keep on going

Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll sail across dry lands Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll cut the grass in all Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll steal the single jewel Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll wipe the crystals dry

A hand on each of the oars A hand on each of the oars We're seven miles from shore Just keep on going

A hand on each of the oars A hand on each of the oars We're seven miles from shore Just keep on going

Row! There's only seven more miles to go Row! There's only seven more miles to go Row! There's only seven more miles to go Row! There's only seven more miles to go

Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll reach the Isle of Her Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll find the peacocks tail Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll steal the mother of pearl Row! There's only seven more miles to go We'll eat the dancing girls

Row! Cyclops gazing alone Row! Facing mirrors that show Row! The reflection of his own Row! Face to face

Row! Cyclops gazing alone Face to Face Face to Face Face to Face Face to Face Face to Face Face to Face Face to Tace

that was exactly my thought...

I have to agree with the war the statement totally "Face 2 Face". Most of the song can sound different, when I first heard the song I thought they were saying "Roses, send my love to god", "A Hand on each others throat". Looking at the lyrics, I have been corrected thank god lol.

This song to me, is about learning to love yourself before you can truly love something else. This was emphasised with me thinking "A hand on each other" was being said a lot throughout the song.
