What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
What a tangle
2
What a strangling knot to be caught in
3
To be exiled here
4
To be stuck in Berlin with Vienna so near
5
Yet so far from the Emperor's ear
6
What a strange and impossible sum
7
To be old while to still be so young
8
To have sung before speaking a word
9
To be heard
10
To be hailed
11
Then to fail
12
To be done
13
To love but to be so naive
14
To trust and to be so deceived
15
To mourn, forlorn, to be torn from you
16
Scorned for another who suffers no grief
17
To curse God, seeking lightning
18
And to still be ignored
19
To hide in this room, now too rich to afford
20
To hear armies of creditors bang at the door
21
Always yelling for more
22
And to have nothing to sell that could help
23
Except for the Steinway that sits in the corner
24
For Arthur it all came too easily
25
To learn the scales in every key
26
To play the etudes and the suites
27
The nocturnes and The Fantaisie
28
To master the sonatas, minuets, and symphonies
29
To seek the truth fits and starts
30
To strike the middle F like it's an arrow through the heart
31
To wing the right hand like a dove"¨(the peaceful flutter of a dove)
32
And with left a violent shove"¨(some moments will demand a shove)
33
To needle gently yet relentless with a steady foot upon the pedal
34
And to clench the iron first inside the velvet glove
35
To learn to whisper and to scream
36
(the whisper justifies the scream)
37
To let each yearning finger breathe
38
(no, nothing lives unless it breathes)
39
To burn, to worship, to mislead
40
To pose a question with a pinky on a key
41
To flee, to fight, to bleed
42
To float in air
43
Nothing solid underneath
44
To rap those heavy knuckles on the gate to heaven til there's nothing to
45
Achieve, but
46
To go retrieve the length of cable hidden in the cabinet
47
To metamorphasize the twisted rope unto an alphabet
48
To lay the lazy C upon the shabby wooden floor to rest
49
To send the end across the top and bend the C into an S
50
To curve the tail beneath the S to turn the tangle to a B
51
To hug the wretched root around the fibers suffocatingly
52
To wrap again to wrap again to give the coil seven loops
53
To penetrate the yawning hoop
54
To tug the loose appendage through
55
To yank the knot until it's ready for the job"¨it's got to do
56
To toss the braid above the ceiling beam and to affix the noose
57
To bid adieu to all of you"¨until there's nothing left to do but
58
Climb the chair
59
To cinch the collar
60
Find the edge
61
To step into the air
