free from your past
free of your future too
there's nothing left to rise above but you

show me your ocean red
kiss the tears that stain my neck
drug me with fissions untrue

but i won't photograph
you laying naked upon your back
safe in a stone house by the sea

there's nothing true and nothing's real
but i remember one clear feel
warm beneath your gentle company

while i lay dying upon some bed
i hope that you remember this
the only one i want to see is you

    General Comment:Probably about Jarboe, Gira's former lover/ partner of the Swans. So different than past works by Gira but still as powerful. Great to see Swans are back together, even without Jarboe.

    General Comment:the imagery of the stone house by the sea and "lying naked upon on your back" reminds me of Poe's Annabel Lee. I wonder if perhaps this is a song about someone who died.

    General Comment:And ended relationship.
    He still loves her.. And likely will always love her.
    Noone else.

    I'm in love with this song.
