Once again, wisdom in unheard lyrics
Every so often, it happens that I hear the bare snippet of a song and it just lights a fire in me. Usually when I track it down I find that lyrics from parts that I have not yet heard are highly relevant, and often reveal things that conscious-me has avoided thinking about.
The last one I recall was Thom Yorke's Black Swan, which I 1st heard walking out of A Scanner Darkly.
This time around, it was Bloc Party's Signs. It had me from the first few glockenspiel notes. Given my other post* today, what are the odds I'd pull a song with a line-and-a-half like "I could sleep forever these days/Because in my dreams..."
Random chance is a strange and wonderful thing. So is the feeling that everything is interconnected. Time to go ponder the full lyrics.
*for those not on that lock: it was about vivid dreams, and noted that I was being tempted to sleep every chance I could
