Don McLean
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Windows in a silent room, sunlight burns the walls to black
2
Angles and dimensions melt while colors drip and pillows crack
3
Reflections of my memories like pictures pasted on a sheet
4
The ribbon film of separate frames lying curled up at my feet
5
The film is just a snake design and the photographs are fading fast
6
These are not memories of mine I have no future, no past
7
I've seen a thousand afternoons dissolve into the night
8
Like sugar crystals on a spoon they disappear from sight
9
Gray days from the crispest morning to the warmest afternoon in this room
10
And I like to draw the face I saw so long ago
11
My image in the mirror tells the jagged lines which way to go
12
The black and white description of the sole survivor of the Holocaust
13
All the rest were lost
14
Do you see this paper face? It has no color or no mood
15
My eyes are ageless, as am I. I need no sleep, I need no food
16
I am a king, but like a child the other children laugh at me
17
Tongues of fire, wagging wild they dance around me merrily
18
I'll kill them all and if I fail I'll kill whoever I can find
19
Then they'll beg me to be kind
20
My eyes have seen far more than eyes can ever tell
21
This planet plunged through mushroom fires of earthly hell
22
I know that my sweet Jesus said that he'd return
23
But Babylon has fallen and the cities burn
