Cocteau Twins:Flock Of Soul
From LyricWiki
No answer, sweet song light
Sing? I'd love to
to sunlight, a song in the bed of dreams
Cover me in Sublime light, with tingles
Sing, and touch me
With sad lust and revealing dreams
Your song light will touch me
Sing nice body, passing through and over me
So find me, come and answer me
We find it deep, this, my minute, friend
Not long before the wisps of starlight,
meet the sunrise thru the window (shining)
From outside, come in to toss me.
Come back now, to find the sunlight.
Come back now, put sunlight on, oh
Be with me and dream, it's my minute, friend
Come feel the deep
It's love in a floodlight
Come feel the deep
It's love in a flood
ahhhh ahhhh oohhhh
ooohhh ahhh ahhhhh
Sing and touch light, satisfying me
The sunlight will touch me
Sing as from me, pass it over me, sublime me and I'll ...come back to you.
[edit] Notes
The Lyrics to The Cocteau Twins track “Flock of Soul” have been withdrawn from Internet Lyric publishing sites by the artists. This is an attempt to recover them by means of carefull transcription and guesswork (emphasis added) by listening repeatedly through headphones. The vocalist, Elizabeth Fraser, is well known for using her amazing voice as a musical instrument, meaning there simply is, at times during the course of the song, no translatable linguistic content.
This track however begs for a poetic interpretation of some kind, and some english words are clearly audible. “Flock of Soul” is, in my opinion, one of the most awe-inspiring pieces of music in the universe, and if you've never heard it, prepare yourself for an unforgettable listening experience. Elizabeth can only be compared with the mythical Lorelei of legend in this stunning masterpiece.
FLOCK OF SOUL (Flock of Soul): Quote from "PLATO'S REPUBLIC (The Ring of Gyges)" reads:
One starts with the many deaths in battle of brave warriors that induce a flock of souls to walk toward a marvelous (daimonion) meadow where preexist four everlasting chasms (chasmata) leading toward and coming from both the heaven above and the depth of the earth below to end with an earthquake (seismon) that sends souls back to life like shooting stars, whereas the other starts with an earthquake (seismou) that opens a single new chasm (chasma) at the feet of a shepherd in the very meadow where he is pasturing his flock of sheep and induces him to go down into an underground tomb full of wonders (thaumasta) to end with the single death of a king that sits the shepherd turned murderer in his throne.
