Lords Of The Boards Lyrics
I've got the snowboard under my feet
I can fly so high, I can fall so deep
But who do I see comin' up the track
A little green man with the snowboard on his back
He said: And now I'm flying like an angel to the sun
My feet are burning and I grab into another world
With the lord of the boards you'll come and get around
With the lord of the boards, go mad like a clown
I can stay behind him if I can
I wanna be a little more than an "also-ran"
Through every curve He's got me beat
And maybe it's time that I accept defeat
And now I'm flying like an angel to the sun
My feet are burning and I grab into another world
With the lord of the boards you'll come and get around
With the lord of the boards, go mad like a clown <i>(4x)</i>
I can fly so high, I can fall so deep
But who do I see comin' up the track
A little green man with the snowboard on his back
My feet are burning and I grab into another world
With the lord of the boards, go mad like a clown
I wanna be a little more than an "also-ran"
Through every curve He's got me beat
And maybe it's time that I accept defeat
My feet are burning and I grab into another world
With the lord of the boards, go mad like a clown <i>(4x)</i>

In my opinion this song is about an experience that releases you in life. But, I also found this on Wikipedia: "Many forms of Neopaganism consider the green man to represent a common form of personal transformation in meditations or ritual. The icon of the face with leaves sprouting out is a representation of a personal visionary experience of "becoming" a green man or woman."
The beginning riff is cool! Weird, but cool! This osng ROCKS!
First time you hear this song, you go "ugh," second time you hear it "hmmm," third thime: "mmmm!" And the fourth time you either love it or you hate it! I went with the first option :D Fab tune!
A song about snowboard, interesting, isn't it ? I think the Guano Apes managed to share the feelings associated with it. Pretty.
I've heard it yesterday for the first time & it seemed very interesting, so I looked it up on internet and since then I can't stop listening to it.
I agree with Harriet Potter!
An idea: The lord of the boards refers the the lord of the beasts (I hope this is the right expression) who some believe embodies the male principle in pre-christian religious beliefs. The lord of the beasts has been turned into the devil with the christianisation of Europe. In present pagan groups he is also called the green man. What do you think?
Even though this is a good song like everyone says, Guano Apes have far better songs than this one. They are AMAZINGLY good.. 'walking on a thin line' is their best album. And tabaloria's idea of the meaning sounds believable, since, if taken the literal way this song has really silly lyrics.
I took the lyrics literally being about snowboarding, I just discovered this song but it is gonna be my skiing anthem :)
Intro for this song is cool? It's croatian national music...I mean...it's quite traditional...because Sandra is Croatian...I don't know how to call that instrument on English but it's tamburica on Croatian...or tambura...wtvr...I like this song...it's literally about snowboarding and her trying to win a race with a professional...
