hear a knock. She starts turning off the lights" No tell me that doesn't sound like paranoia, similar to how the man was going crazy in the story. If you are familiar with the story it is about a man who murders an old man and he hides him under the floorboards and as he is telling the story of the murder, he keeps telling the reader he isn't crazy. and he when the police come to check out what happened, he almost gets away with the murder, but he keeps "hearing" the heartbeat of the dead man under the floorboards, and he swears that everyone can hear it, but it's all in his mind because he's crazy. I think this song kind of alludes to that. He had this love, that ended and he kind of buried it away, or so he thought. No matter how hard he tries to ignore it, he'll forever hear the beating of this love. And he sees the "ghost" of this girl, the love that died away, and I'm sure everyone around him, even the girl, says the love is gone, but he keeps seeing it, everywhere he goes. At the end he says that HE'S the one who can't leave. He can't let "her" (the love) be alone, even though he's the one that's keeping it there.
I soon fell in love with "Deep Sleeper". It's very melodic and it kinda puts you in a trance when you are listening to it. It reminds a lot of myself, It's more so a song about daydream and just having a wild imagination. I've read some reviews and interpretations on the song and people say it has to do with Alice In Wonderland, which makes since because the song is about imagination. I noticed their songs can be tied to literature. A few lyrics from that song are
"In the belly of a dream
I bought a gram of opium seeds
I heard a hundred flowers speak
Yes, it's true
And I met two little girl eyes
Her body was a countryside
That led the day into the night
It's true
It's true
True
In the belly of the street
There are idiots walking with their feet
To where the ocean kissed the land
Yes, it's true
I met a walrus and a man
They really helped me understand
That life is just a dream
Then who's the fool"
No in reference to the opium seeds, it was said that this song may also refer to the after effects on taking heroin ( which I wouldn't know a thing about so I will have to take their word for it)
This part really reminds me of Alice In Wonderland
I'm dreaming of papaverine
Hole falling'
I'm looking' glass looking'
In the garden of live flowers (also once again the flowers could be referred to as poppies with relates to heroin (opium seeds)
I'm deep sleeping'
The looking glass part then again relates to Alice In Wonderland, the sequel to that story was titles "Through the Looking Glass"
Their song Love,Love, Love was on repeat for days in my car.
The lyrics are just dreamy and make my heart just melt. lol
Have I
ever told you before
I think you're beautiful when
you're sleeping?
I have faith you watch me in
my slumber, too.
If I'm all that you're looking for,
tell me, why is there a river streaming
down your face?
Sometimes makes me wonder
all about your
love.
After some time
it's something i find true. Love's
not a grave, it won't decay
on you.
Too many days I was afraid
of love.
What
if nothing is just that and
suffering's the only thing we're good
at?
Dreaming, picture that
a whole world in a slumber.
But don't get
too attached to the living,
even every single memory's
fleeting.
That's a fact, being torn
asunder.
But to my surprise, no reason
why, one day i woke
up and realized.
Give it to me,
love. I'll keep you in my focus
with love and affection.
Bottom line, if you like good music you should definitely check them out. They are worth it.
