Strange World
March 7th, 2008 -- Posted in music | No Comments »Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why.
Here I am, I’m not really there, smiling faces ever so rare.
A let’s walk in deepest space, living here just isn’t the place.
Stalks of light come from the ground, when I cry there isn’t a sound.
All my feelings cannot be held, I’m happy in my new strange world.
Shades of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine.
A look at love, a dream unfolds, living here, you’ll never grow old.
Don’t you hear me call?
– by Steve Harris in Iron Maiden first album Iron MaidenOne of my favorite songs during the days I enjoyed metal bands like Iron Maiden. It’s actually a slow sad tune but at the same time with a relaxing tone in the voice. The words sort of depict how one can escape to his own ‘strange world’ at the lowest of his mortal state, by means of self intoxication or the irreversible end. What do you think?
