After the red ants, the black-out, come peace and quiet
Those little footprints fleshed out calm in my mind
I lay like a compass, digits accusing the sunrise
Raindrops abseil the window and flinch through the hurt cries
I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy
After the hunt and the sweat, now come peace and quiet
Your head on my heart anchored the storm in my eyes
I lay like a carcass, your lips never letting the blood dry
And so I pray for tomorrow and wait, listening out for a reply
I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me
And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire)
My bliss pulling at your sympathy
I think Suzie might have the right idea lyrically or the song could be about someone who's in a love/hate type romantic relationship where every fight they have after they make up it's all blissful and perfect but they know there's another storm or fight coming up so they await the next breakdown. They're fights are angry like red ants and the blackout is when he drinks so much he blacksout cause the fight is so tumultuous. The peace & quite is like the calm once they make up while also symbolizing the calm before the next storm or fight.
