White Out Lyrics
longday afternoons mourning.
there's fruitflies on
the toothbrush and teeth
in the sink. pick and chews
clean. i'm eating
it up. time to
come to. and her
virgin birth perfect
come and go talking
of leonardo dicaprio
someones dead
in the room the women come and go, talking of...
a slightly altered line taken from 'the love song of j. alfred prufrock' by ts eliot. not sure how it fits within this context, but both the poem and the song are wonderful.
reading the lyrics i feel as though i'm reliving a dream i once had. just a mess of different things all jumbled together that somehow fit. the music is mesmerizing.
Sleepagent, I agree with you one hundred percent on this. It's such a wonderful song on such a wonderful album no less.
in the t.s. eliot poem, it's meant to symbolize that during that time, the wealthy and elite at their many parties would always be discussing topics such as michaelangelo without truly knowing or appreciating the artist, merely using it just as conversation. i think it applys to leonardo dicaprio at the time this was written in 97-98.
The way Tim sings in this song is so perfect against this music. The second verse, especially, blows my mind. It's like the best sounding thing I have ever heard.
Man that T.S Eliot poem is depressing. This song led me to read that poem 5 times. Both song and poem are a little ambibuous, but nonetheless, this song is amazing and the lyrics are beautiful distorted.
