Now it's day I've been crying
Taste the milk on my tongue
I was dreaming of horseshoes
Now my cereal, it is warm
Track the days in the rubble
Of the night from the fall
And I can't walk in the vacuum
I feel ugly; feel my pose
But the trees of this day
Cast no shadows on my stride
And I stop to scream at you
People greet me, so polite
What's the day' what you doing'
How's your mood in that song'
When it passes right by me
It's behind me, now it's gone.
And I can't lift you up, my mind is tired
Sand and beaches that I desire
Sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on some faces
But I know I've got you
But golden lips and almond vibe
Make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
I've been dreaming about birthin
Genie made me a little earth skin
Despite you bein my birth kin
Pick me up and just hurl me by the river
All the people are workin
And millions of 'em churchin
When elephants can reach in our purses
Meet me after the world shambles
Ooo oooo ooo oo ooo ooo oooo ooo ooo oooo
What's the day' what you doing'
Who's been thinking on your palm
We all dance to the shadows
While he's singing you that song
But he can't lift you up cause your mind is tired
The sand and beaches that I desire
Sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on your face
But I know I've got you
But golden lips and almond vibe
Make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes
And I can't lift you up, my mind is tired
Sand and beaches that I desire
Sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on some faces
But I know I've got you
But golden lips and almond vibe
Make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes
Taste the milk on my tongue
I was dreaming of horseshoes
Now my cereal, it is warm
Track the days in the rubble
Of the night from the fall
And I can't walk in the vacuum
I feel ugly; feel my pose
But the trees of this day
Cast no shadows on my stride
And I stop to scream at you
People greet me, so polite
What's the day' what you doing'
How's your mood in that song'
When it passes right by me
It's behind me, now it's gone.
And I can't lift you up, my mind is tired
Sand and beaches that I desire
Sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on some faces
But I know I've got you
But golden lips and almond vibe
Make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
I've been dreaming about birthin
Genie made me a little earth skin
Despite you bein my birth kin
Pick me up and just hurl me by the river
All the people are workin
And millions of 'em churchin
When elephants can reach in our purses
Meet me after the world shambles
Ooo oooo ooo oo ooo ooo oooo ooo ooo oooo
What's the day' what you doing'
Who's been thinking on your palm
We all dance to the shadows
While he's singing you that song
But he can't lift you up cause your mind is tired
The sand and beaches that I desire
Sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on your face
But I know I've got you
But golden lips and almond vibe
Make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes
And I can't lift you up, my mind is tired
Sand and beaches that I desire
Sacred nights where we watch the fireworks drip on some faces
But I know I've got you
But golden lips and almond vibe
Make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes

It is a new day and the narrator is coping with a recent shift, or perhaps a disillusionment, trying to forget something (metaphorically, a "taste").
"I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm"
Here, the narrator is in a soliloquy with his past self, reflecting on the rapid change, and his luxuries and pleasures he once enjoyed being taken away by the world.
"Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before"
He ironically calls the new exposed reality attractive, as he examines the remains of his destroyed mentality, the hallucinations and naïveté now obvious in the overwhelming truth.
"Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, feel my pores"
The narrator explains the sarcasm in the previous line as an attempt to remain in illusion, and create false happiness. He feels uncomfortable and incapable of living in the newly exposed world, which seems empty like a vacuum now.
"It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light"
He tries to ignore those around him, who contribute to the shattered world, in an attempt to reach the full truth and diagnose the cause of his revelation, and what makes to world so different from what he had once thought.
"Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite"
'What's the day?' 'What are you doing?'
'How's your mood?' 'How's that song?'
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone"
He realizes the unavoidability of the nature of society, and feels overwhelmed as he tries to accept it. He notices the manifestation of this newly revealed reality in all the dialogues and actions of other people, which once seemed meaningless, and are now obviously manifestations of society. The former innocence of social interaction is "behind me, now it's gone." He is incapable of seeing things the way he was once wonted to.
"And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire
A sacred night, where we'll watch the fireworks"
He paradoxically feels incapable of consoling himself and mitigating the effects of the sudden shift in perspective, because of the very nature of the shift itself. He wants to relax and return to the previous state of childlike ignorance, which seems very recent, yet incapable of being returned to, even for one more night.
"The frightened babies poo
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes."
The children are curious and inquisitive of the workings of the universe and the reasons behind the actions of other people. The narrator observes the similar situation he was in, and how the children's wonder will ironically eventually cause them to want to return to ignorance, much like what he is experiencing.
"I've been eating with a good friend who said
'A Genii made me out of the earth's skin'
But in spite of her she is my birth kin,"
He observantly listens to the social analyses of his friend who, in the same state as he, deceives himself or herself with childish ideas, when in fact they are all obviously untrue.
"she spits me out in her surely blood rivers"
The friend defensively dispels the incredulous rationalizations of the narrator, refusing to accept the fallacy of his vain philosophies.
I can't interpret the next part due to the inaccuracy of the transcripts.
"And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that you're/I'm only what I see sometimes."
He again connects the cognitive states of the children with that of his past self.
There are probably terrible inaccuracies in the transcript I was using, but the basic theme of the song is the harsh transition from childhood to adulthood, much like their song "For Reverend Green".
The frightened babies poo
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes."
What he's noting is how the babies are so easily moved by simple things, and their eyes "are colored why" because of their curiosity with the world, this causes him to feel as if he's all that he sees sometimes because he has lost that special curiosity that they have. There's a big theme on Strawberry Jam of moving from one place in time to the next, maybe more specifically moving from childhood to adulthood, another example in this song of this theme would be "Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone."
Track the days in the rubble
Of the night from the fall
And I can't walk in the vacuum
I feel ugly; feel my PORES
It's the trees of this day
THAT I DO BATTLE WITH FOR THE LIGHT
And I START TO FEEL TRAGIC
People greet me, I'M polite
Corrections on caps.
I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm
Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before
Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, feel my pores
It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light
Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite
"What's the day?" "What are you doing?"
"How's your mood?" "How's that song?"
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire
A sacred night, where we'll watch the fireworks
The frightened babies poo
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes.
I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A Genii made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin,
she spits me out in her surely blood rivers
All the people life lurking in dominions of a hot Turk dish
If elephants are reaching for our purses, then meet me after the world with the shivers.
"What's the day?" "What you doing?"
"How's your food?" "How's that song?"
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that you're only what I see sometimes.
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that I'm only what I see sometimes.
It's like he's so confused with the person he loves (wheter he knows him/her or not) that he starts to feel really bad and ugly, in the day to day life he tries to act normal, people ask him generic question but he doesn't seem to listen because all he can think about is that person. I also think this could be about the fact that this person is far away from him or he doesn't know him/her, he wants to watch the fireworks with that person and be intimate but he can't because he/she isn't there with him. It's also nostalgic in a way because he wants time with his family.
-The shift in the ages. We're going through soo much struggle
right now for a positive social change, and shift in duality.
"It's the trees of this day that i do battle with for the
light".
- Fighting for mother nature and peace.
"Then i start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite".
- People such as myself have our horrible past experiences
that shape us into good people (child abuse victim here).
"Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone."
- The beauty in the world has been taken for granted.
"And i can't lift you up cause my mind is tired"
- They way we don't care for earth because of advertisement
and media. Mostly materialism.
"Ive been eating with a good friend who said 'A genii
made me out of the earth's skin'"
-Smoking herb with a philosopher who said that
God BECAME the universe and earth that has helped us grow
(evolution),(Right here i am using both Spiritual&Science
(they can't exist without one another, and god has no
definate shape, not a human. She IS the universe).
"But in spite of her she is my birth kin".
-Even though we're all different races and have our own
families, Mother Earth has been here for us to help the
human race (and other animals) grow&evolve.
"All the people life lurking in dominons of a hot turk
dish"-1% of americans that have power and money
and own more than half of our wealth, they're living in
riches.
"If the elephants be reaching for our purses"
-The absence of a Land Ethic.
"Then meet me after the world with the shivers"
-Sounds like we'll me the genii (god) after our world
stops living in fear. (meeting God as in we realize
we are one conscious being)
