So tired
Soul searching
I followed the sounds to a cathredal
imagine my surprise to find that they were produce by Brian Eno
past the gates
quite stark
the roses trimmed and the windows dark
I see the walls through a limestone crack
not red not blue not yellow but black
and all the space left for you
if the sky was synthesized you'd probably know
he taught me many things
the wisdom of oblique stratagems
the prophet of a sapphire soul
presented through creative freedoms
and everything i say is true
cuz if i was telling lies it'd probably show
i can tell that he's kind of smiling
but what does he know?
we're always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno
Brian Eno
when I was stuck he'd make me memorize elaborate curses
tinctures and formulas to ditch the chori and flip the verses
my whole foundation came unglued
when i tried to humanize by ambient light
dipping swords in metaphors yeah but what does he know?
he's go the whole world behind him he's Brian Eno
Brian Eno!
he promised pretty worlds and all the silence I could dream of
Brian peter George St John Le Baptiste De La Salle Eno
well all alone by the oldest stone where the shade trees grow
the creature by the water feature with a ghostly glow
making sure that time's preserved well we reap what we sow
he's go the whole world behind him he's Brian Eno etc. etc.

Love it anyway<3
It also shows in a funny way how Eno is such a great reference, and no matter you're always, well, one step behind them.
Anyway really cool song.

Brian Eno!" hence the sentence "when i tried to humanize by ambient light
dipping swords in metaphors yeah but what does he know?" well that has alot to do with his music theory so yea
Soul searching
I followed the sounds to a cathedral
imagine my surprise to find that they were produce by Brian Eno"
goes ('followed sounds') expecting to find deeper meaning, reasoning, substance, etc., etc., ('soul searching') in religion ('cathedral'), instead realises that it's found in music ('Brian Eno'). I love these lyrics. shows how you can find all the important things and meaning to life through listening music, not just in church.
It's like a manic breakdown. I love it.
Soul searching"
love how the first lines makes reference to Siberian Breaks
doesn't it say "you could see him plant a forest, 'cause I don't know" at some point near the end of the song?
