A Realization of the Ear Lyrics
Don't love me
Don't you dare care for me
I will only bring you pain
All the pleasure you can gather in this place
Will just amount to shame
All the bright colors I've ever loved will learn to fade
So bring back the womb O' God
Or bring on the grave
So this is what it's like
What it's like to disappear
With the music of the spheres still ringing in my ear
How will I find my way out of this?
Don't you dare care for me
I will only bring you pain
All the pleasure you can gather in this place
Will just amount to shame
All the bright colors I've ever loved will learn to fade
So bring back the womb O' God
Or bring on the grave
What it's like to disappear
With the music of the spheres still ringing in my ear

Brendan says:
"The lyrics for this song can be taken in a couple different ways. One from the father to his son, and another as the earth singing to mankind. This is one of many parallels between the earth and the family that lives in this record."

One of my favorites from the record...
I never really noticed the words in this song. I finally really listened to it with the lyrics and its great! I guess the father is wishing that the son either "stays small" or in the womb or to bring on his grave becuas ehe doesn't want to see his child go through what he did...
I think it's from his perspective; maybe talking to god for part of it or, more likely, to someone close to him; like a lover, family member or friend. I think it is the writer, Brendan in this case, confessing that he has chased after the wrong things in this life, and it has changed him and he is sorry.
Perhaps its not from the character's perspective at the beginning of the song and it's like the earth is speaking to him, telling him that she will only bring him pain and then he comes to realize that all colors fade,etc and he "disappears" so to speak and he gets lost in the vast sorrow of life while he hears the ringing of the spheres (Mi Fa Mi or Misery, Famine, Misery)
this song can be synched to the music of the spheres
I think it's pretty simple. The writer of the song is singing as the earth. He realizes the pain and the emptiness of this world and recognizes the eventual outcome of the earth. It's just a matter of time until this place is destroyed (or disappears) and we all are in one of two places (hint: they both start with an H)
