About Nautical Twilight Songtext

von Tori Amos

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "About Nautical Twilight" von Tori Amos erzählt von einer Person, die sich von ihrer eigenen Welt abwendet,...

As the day gave way
To nautical twilight
I turned
My back on
The force of which I was made
I abandoned it
Rupturing the delicate balance
When I left my world for his.

Day after day
As my city fades
And is swallowed by his sea.

She is boundless
Even breaking on the beach.

Every hour commenced
No fusion and fission
Can unify or drive a force to split.

He has been possessed
To drink of the spices
From the east by his liquid mistress
Which then pushed me into the lair
Of uranium, she divides time between
Greed and his twin, tyranny.

Day after day
Cities all betrayed
And the earth, his songs lay their blade.

She is boundless
But by then she has been frayed.

As the night gives way
To nautical dawn I can see
I must activate the force of which I'm made.
