lysistrata - the boy who stood above the earth كلمات الأغنية

[joseph campbell’s speech (human empathy & interconnectedness, 1986) — part 1]

[verse 1]
hey, stood, above, the earth

he returns to the same place
everyday after school
to let his thoughts invade him
he let’s his thoughts invade him

he returns to the same place
to think about it all
dark blanket pulled over his eyes
waiting for it to turn white

he’s always in this same place
firsts clenched around the bars
arms stretched and body held high
above the thousand cars

he feels a hand on his back
that pushes him away
into the emptiness
into the nothingness

he feels a second hand
that grabs onto his arm
pulls him back of the edge
the blanket rises from his face

[joseph campbell’s speech (human empathy & interconnectedness, 1986) — part 2]

[verse 2]
i can’t help but wander
what would have happened
if we didn’t turn up that evening?
he had been returning to that same spot
at that same time for so many years now

we all knew his intentions
he was finally ready to let himself go

i mean i saw it with my own eyes
i saw the earth begin to crumble beneath his shoes
and how blind he was
and how this meant nothing to him

he was empty
he had been squeezed and drained of his ghost
that just hovered over his head like a thick dark cloud
i pulled him back of the edge
i took him aside
and i said

get a hold of yourself, what do you think you’re doing?
get a hold of yourself, did you really think this through?
get a hold of yourself, boy
get a hold of yourself

[outro]
but the acidity of life kept driving into his brain
rendering him careless and his days so mundane
cause we live then we die and we try to leave a trace
but we’re each another soul among a damaged human race

i could not have let him go, i pulled him back with all my strength
i could not have let him go, i pulled him back, i pulled him back

and i’m overwhelmed with guilt, i sometimes will agree
but what’s more meaningful than human empathy?

[chorus 1 x8]
the boy who stood above the earth

[chorus 2 x8]
the boy
