Bleak desolation In a beam of Sun Scraping as I crawl (Your heart
can't
hear me)
Tearing bruising fall (Your hands can't hear me)
Thirsting raging blind (Your eyes can't hear me)
Racing against time (Your arms can't hear me)
Like an angel you'll come In a dream, precious one (And) Make me
beautifully numb
Desperate panicked calls (The wind can't hear me)
Muffled weak and small (The sand can't hear me)
Pleading, groping hands (The truth can't hear me)
Bleeding in the sand (Your heart can't hear me)
Bleak desolation In a beam of sun Like an angel you'll come in a
dream,
blessed one (And)
Make me joyfully numb
Razor fingers cling (The wind can't hear me)
Piercing demons sing (The sand can't hear me)
Twisting hollow Hell (The truth can't hear me)
Burning blisters swell (Your heart can't hear me)
Sharp cut aching breath (Your arms can't hear me)
Choking scent of death (Your hands can't hear me)
Gruelling jaw-bone grind (Your eyes can't hear me)
Cursed by my own mind (Your heart can't hear me)

    General Comment:Pure metaphor, or anything more concrete? Most obvious things that came to my mind were obsessively wishing for a lost lover to come back, or about drug addiction. Delerium has some straight metaphysical symbolism in a number of their songs though so who knows..

    General Comment:Just as reference, Duende means "dwarf" or "goblin" in Spanish.

    General Comment:This is, in my opinion, the funniest song, ever.
    It's got this boppity, peppy music with excessively pessimistic lyrics. If I hadn't looked up the lyrics, I would have thought, oh, what a sweet, fun song. But then I see it's about hell and blood and demons and death, and it's breathtakingly hilarious.
    How could you not love:
    "Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak desolation
    In a beeeeam of sun
    boppa da ba a one two boppa da ba."
    Duende is the juxtaposition of the macabre and the saccharine, and the effect is scathingly clever.
    I'll never tire of it.
