Sleeping Gas

The Teardrop Explodes

Sometimes I wonder if you're really living
Oh what is this feeling you think that you're giving
Well you can sit down, wrecked and dismayed
Wondering where are all the plans that you laid

You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
Just like a cartoon by AAP
Oh it's just like a cartoon by AAP, oh yeah

Oh whether to phone you
Or whether to see you
I never do anything
You never do things for me

I wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around

You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
So here comes my head
And my hand just behind so yeah yeah yeah

I stand in the street
I look for someone to meet
But you don't call me or phone
Oh you're never alone

I wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around

You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
Just like a cartoon by AAP

You can watch rafferty turn into a serial
It's just like sleeping gas
Now it's so ethereal
It's just like sleeping gas
Now it's so ethereal
It's just like sleeping gas
Now it's so ethereal

I wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around

I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around
I just wander around

    I thought he was saying "you can watch rafferty turn into a serial", but that still doesn't tell me what the hell it means! Anybody care to share what a "rafferty" may be, in this instance? Is it a British thing...?

So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
