What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Standing firm on this stony ground
2
The wind blows hard pulls these clothes around
3
I harbour all the same worries as most
4
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost
5
I wrestle with an outlook on life
6
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
7
I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear
8
But Orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world
9
Sunlight falls, my wings open wide
10
There's a beauty here I cannot deny
11
And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs
12
Are just so many people I knew never cared
13
Down below on the wreck of the ship
14
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret
15
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
16
As Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side
17
Tell me, I've still a lot to learn
18
Understand, these fires never stop
19
Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing
20
I will hear promise of my Orpheus sing
21
Sleepers sleep as we row the boat
22
Just you the weather and I gave up hope
23
But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps
24
Were fuel for the fire and straw for our backs
25
Still the voices have stories to tell
26
Of the power struggles in heaven and hell
27
But we feel secure against such mighty dreams
28
As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring
29
Tell me, I've still a lot to learn
30
Understand, these fires never stop
31
Please believe, when this joke is tired of laughing
32
I will hear promise of my Orpheus sing
