The Oldness Lyrics
something wrong
will molest you in drug stupor
on onslaught constant and dry
web of oldness
makes creaking timbrel sounds
beneath the grass beyond the sky
teasing dirty furry
abominations
will lick you awake and eat your weight
before and after the words
get down put your arms under your body
the oldness
i dreamt that i was aloft
on beating wing
a sound unilke any bird's
out of the corner of my
eye
i saw a great bat's wing
oh
the oldness
will molest you in drug stupor
on onslaught constant and dry
web of oldness
makes creaking timbrel sounds
beneath the grass beyond the sky
teasing dirty furry
abominations
will lick you awake and eat your weight
before and after the words
get down put your arms under your body
the oldness
i dreamt that i was aloft
on beating wing
a sound unilke any bird's
out of the corner of my
eye
i saw a great bat's wing
oh
the oldness

This is breathtaking. I really wonder what it's about, though. No clue.
Perhaps it's about getting old, you know, when drugs and some sort of sickness (abominations) are making you feel really numb. For me it's all about getting old, about beeing scared of death, preparing for it (get down put your arms under your body).

It's really sad song, as sad as the oldness is.

But maybe Jamie is using a metaphor, maybe i'm wrong.

The drug stupor is corelated with oldness since they have to swallow a constant stream of pills to live a little longer. Web of oldness is kinda obvious.I don't know about the furry abominations, but the other stuff is either illness and dreams of something better that turns out to be nothing other than the realityh of batwings. And how real oldness really is.
