He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Now it's day I've been trying
To get that taste off my tongue
I was dreaming of just you
Now our cereal, it is warm
The track dead in a rubble
Of the night from the fall
Now I can't walk in a vacuum
I feel ugly, feel my pores
It's the trees, of this day
That I do battle with, for the light
Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite
"What's the day " "what are you doing? "
"How's your mood?" "how's that song? "
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up, my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire
A sacred night, we watch the fireworks
The frightened babies through
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes
I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A genii made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin,
She spits me out in her surely blood rivers
All the people that lurking in dominions of a hot turk dish
If elephants are reaching for our purses
Then meet me after the world with the shivers
I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A genii made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin
She spits me out in her surely blood rivers
All the people that lurking in dominions of a hot turk dish
If elephants are reaching for our purses
Then meet me after the world with the shivers
I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A genii made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin
She spits me out in her surely blood rivers
All the people that lurking in dominions of a hot turk dish
If elephants are reaching for our purses
Then meet me after the world with the shivers
"What's the day "what you doing?"
"How's your food "how's that song?"
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up 'cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that you're only what I see sometimes
And I can't lift you up 'cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that I'm only all I see sometimes
To get that taste off my tongue
I was dreaming of just you
Now our cereal, it is warm
The track dead in a rubble
Of the night from the fall
Now I can't walk in a vacuum
I feel ugly, feel my pores
It's the trees, of this day
That I do battle with, for the light
Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite
"What's the day " "what are you doing? "
"How's your mood?" "how's that song? "
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up, my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire
A sacred night, we watch the fireworks
The frightened babies through
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes
I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A genii made me out of the earth's skin"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
This part is brilliantly written: "A sacred night, where we'll watch the fireworks The frightened babies poo They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes." What he's noting is how the babies are so easily moved by simple things, and their eyes "are colored why" because of their curiosity with the world, this causes him to feel as if he's all that he sees sometimes because he has lost that special curiosity that they have. There's a big theme on Strawberry Jam of moving from one place in time to the next, maybe more specifically moving from childhood to adulthood, another example in this song of this theme would be "Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone."
I made an account to thank you and that other guy that explained for reverend green. Faulty internet lyrics make it hard to understand so thank you! :)
