Dodo/Lurker Lyrics

Cover art for Dodo/Lurker lyrics by Genesis

The riddle at the bottom, I believe refers to a submarine, being made of brownish metal, periodically surfacing for air, needing no wings to manuever. A submarine would have a fear of being FIRED on, and of taking on water. The only part I don't get is the "heart of stone" thing, but everything else seems to point to a submarine.

The "heart of stone" part is thought to be the uranium which fuels nuclear submarines, but this is all SPECULATION, including the part about the submarine.

I once heard that the heart of stone might refer to the core of a nuke sub. However, how do u explain the "hair of brown". I am thinking it is some kinda of creature.

@BlimpyJones I believe that the "hair of brown" refers to seaweed that sometimes has to be removed after the sub surfaces.... As for the "fear of fire"...... Fire and water are the most dangerous things on a ship/sub.... If a fire breaks out while submerged, there's nowhere to run... You have to fight it...
