What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
And when I was seventeen
2
I made myself a DMZ
3
But they continued bombing me
4
Hot and steadily.
5
They divided me at seventeen
6
I declared myself a DMZ
7
But they continued bombing me
8
Incessantly.
9
Dig in Vienn Ilin, dig in today
10
The Americans are on their way
11
American bombs away!
12
Dig in today!
13
We make our days as they make us
14
As I must, as Odysseus
15
Make myself my own Telemachus
16
"Bous Stephanos, Stephanoumenos Dedalus!"
17
And if it hasn't been a bust
18
Then "land-ho, Ulysseus!"
19
And all of us like Dedalus:
20
Dead, dead all of us.
21
Between the dense red clay and the deep blue sea
22
What horrors rage internally
23
And what reactions, chemically
24
Through synapses so awfully?
25
Conducting electricity
26
And converting less efficiently
27
What potiential energy
28
For this life of endless tunneling?
29
So deep beneath the DMZ
30
Lightless of necessity
31
Their bombs are heard incessantly
32
Our days, they make us, clearly.
