What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I was born botanical
2
the soul of an animal
3
deep beneath the layers, I sink my roots
4
no need for mechanical
5
I come strictly organical
6
when I need to feast, I look to the East
7
that's why I'm never scared of the beast
8
even though they try to prey upon me
9
I'm protected by the one always greater than me
10
so now I reveal to thee
11
because you wanna see
12
the contour of my mystery
13
the strength of my arches
14
the colour of my conscience
15
and the way that I process my diction
16
some fact some diction some mystery
17
some future fantasy
18
I'm the trunk that holds the branches
19
the leaves who do the dances
20
my flowers romantic
21
my love gigantic
22
from Africa, transplanted translantic
23
in the heat of the sun
24
I bring shade for everyone
25
like the beat on the one
26
I'm the skin on the drum
27
(chorus)
28
I keep on living with the fullness of the one
29
like the heat of the sun or the skin on the drum
30
I'm fully marinated and now I'm ready for the fire
31
so you can fire one
32
fire one
33
fire two
34
See I've been fully marinated
35
and now I'm ready for the fire
36
see I'm beginning to perspire
37
from deep within to the skin
38
yo, the feminine and the masculine
39
the pieces of the puzzle
40
see my reflections in the puddle
41
after the storm the purple of the sky
42
brings to mind another time
43
when we resided
44
below the water line
45
life was fine there human divine
46
but in the years following
47
evil men came swallowing
48
everything in sight
49
some learned to run, some stayed to fight
50
I kneeled at the tomb of the soldier
51
said I would love to behold her
52
the magic in store there
53
she touched me on the shoulder
54
she said, "in time all is revealed, box of light be unsealed
55
now listen to me son, be like the skin on the drum"
56
(chorus)
