this song is important to us today

[thebrokenarrows]

[seriously this fucking song. begins like a meditation, i feel the light, i feel the warm gentle blaze. and then all the lovely imagery that just screams headspace, screams the Order, the country, the Cityscape and all the faces i love. my family. my home. and the other imagery - the unknowable thoughts of a bird's face. and the very end, like an ominous undercurrent, the hook of Red Sea, Black Sea. ugh. fuck. this band seriously]



My only boy, be not so blind;
Open your eyelids wide...
In through your mouth, breathe soft, light...

There are no words, no hands, no eyes
to show where a door stands wide...
In through your mouth, breathe soft, light...

Let your heart stand open
when silence trickles down, bright
and softly, slowly...
surrounds
your little ghost town.

Set all the silver lamps alight!
Open the windows wide!
[Come to me now, in soft light.]

Show every world in its separate light --
-- a gull's wing; a crow's dark eye --
Where all the City's foundlings lie.

When your heart stands open
and offered to a crowd,
draw lines around your chosen life.
And let it burn, bright,
over all the lovely faces.
