Ani jsem nevěděl, že Naomi zveřejnila texty
Takže, ta nastávající je:
THE "WE" IS DEAD
The pallbearers have long left the pavement of the charnel
The oleanders have collapsed, pleading for their disposal
The elegy has spoken
The “we” is dead
In every futile gesture lies the knowledge of defeat
There’s no such thing as peaceful offerings when shrouded in conceit
The cavalry has fallen
The “we” is dead
Our sacred and profane days line the mausoleum wall
Our transgressions are an echo fading with each recall
It’s written in the sky
The “we” is dead
We’ve buried all the relics of our arms race of hurt feeling
I’ve finally reached the day when I can see you and feel nothing
The anvil’s off my chest
The “we” is dead
No, nebudu se tvářit, že tomu zcela rozumím.
Ovšem jiné texty jsou přinejmenším zvláštní a buď to je jen úvod, nebo se jedná o melodram:
SIX BATTERED BOXES
He’d given away his tools, pots and books. By the time he was done, his life fit into six battered boxes. He cast a last look at the bare bedroom, the sun streaming through the blinds he’d leave behind. Shards of shimmering glass, scattered where the bed used to preside, were a reminder of his frailty. He thought, “I would have liked to die here.” But the stairs were not kind to his brittle bones, and the cushioned corners were nothing but a whistle in the wind to delay the inevitable. Now he quietly acquiesced to the undeniable epilogue he was entering. He pocketed his keys and his pride as stronger arms carried out his six battered boxes through the overgrown garden he had cherished long before his vigour had eroded. The empty house stood lifeless and lorn, bereft of the banal bliss he had known way back when there were two placemats at the table. A voice no louder than a murmur told him it was finally time to go. So he did.
Moc zpívatelně to nevypadá.
A jiné jsou krátké až moc:
COSMONAUT
Fly free, my cosmonaut
Your home is so long ago and so far away
We’ll keep you safe as you drift
And though the dark sprawls out as far as the eye can see
Morning will come
But you’ll be long gone
Among the stars
No, uvidíme, co a jak z toho bude. |
