The Blue Meaning lyrics – Toyah Willcox


IEYA!

Ieya,
Solar,
Ieya,
Calling:

The perfect sphere,
A star,
My crystal ball’s exploding...

Ieya,
Solar,
Ieya,
Calling, calling, calling you!
Solar’s calling,
Calling, calling, calling you,

Tell me, can you hear me?
Are lasers interfering?
Can you hear me?
Calling, calling, calling

I’m calling you,
I’m calling you...

Mizieya,
I am solar;
Mizieya,
Calling –

So you’re the perfect sphere?
A star?
I’m the beast –
The shiny beast,
Meet me – the beast!

Mizieya,
I am solar;
Mizieya,
I am the beast –
The beast of the jungle,
The beast on the street,
Meet me!
Fear me –
Fear the beast;

My metals are shining,
The serpent screams –
Fear the beast,
Fear me – I’m the beast,
I’m the beast!

Can you hear me?
I’m calling you...

Ieya,
I am solar;
Mizieya,
Chanting:

“Zion,
Zooberon,
Necronomicon,
Zion Zooberon,
Necronomicon...”

Ieya,
I am solar;
La la la la la la la la la –

...

Zion Zooberon,
Necronomicon,
{spit}
Zion Zooberon,
Na na, na na hey!
Debauch{spit}
Na na, na na hey!
Debauch...

Zion Zooberon,
Zion Zooberon,
Zion Zooberon,
Zion Zooberon,
Zion Zooberon...
Na na, na na hey!
Debauch{spit}...

Zion Zooberon,
Say you’re solar?
Zion Zooberon,
I am your solar.
Mizieya,
Mizieya,
(Ieya)
(Ieya)
Mizieya,
(Ieya)
Mizieya,
(Ieya)
Mizieya,
Mizieya,
(Ieya)...

Na na, na na hey!
Debauch...
etc. ad infinitum




Spaced Walking
Floating down the Orinoco,
On a breeze from Alca Poco –
Mushrooms
Soft shoe shuffle,
Soft shoes talking.
Reflections bend in the wind.
Nature’s toy,
Convexed talking,
Outer space is nice to walk in.

Space walking,
The in’s and out’s of convexed talking.
Space walking,
Conversing on convexed talking.
Spaced and walking

Nature’s seed,
Nature’s joy, soft gentle voices
Nature’s seed,
Nature’s toy

Soft gentle voices
Float me away.
Soft gentle voices
Shuffle and float me away.

Bent hobbled houses,
Old men, funny trousers.
Wrinkled hands and funny ways,
Plough fields
Sow seeds nature’s way.

Nature’s seed,
Nature’s joy,
Nature’s seed,
Nature’s toy
The gent turns the handle far too bloody slow....




Ghosts

We both – that’s I, two as one –
Walk into a room as ghosts –
Solemn serenity,
Stone cast face,
Place that face,
Place that face in the middle of the floor.
Touching floor nor roof,
Both past disgrace.
We be ghosts.

Faces stare, faces graze our flowing skin.
We pass and scowl and disappear
Like a fading sin.
Faces stare like ghosts
Into an empty room.

Both past disgrace.
We be ghosts.

Faces stare, faces graze our flowing skin.
We pass and scowl and disappear
Like a fading sin.
Faces stare like ghosts
Into an empty room.

A candle falls,
Wax soils the floor.
Our shadows are fighting all over the walls.
We’re ghosts.

The Mummies Of Guanajuato

We are the mummies of Mexico
We live in a glass house.

We are the mummies of Mexico
We live in our glass house
of Guanajuato, Mexico
Mexico...

Forgive my begging lunacy,
We crave identity –
Forgive my begging lunacy,
We crave identity.

Our faces have grown so thin.
Our skins are cold to touch,
Our minds are twice as wise
As they have ever been.

My bones crave identity,
Our remains float on your memory,
Tormented voices through the skirting board.
Mexico, Mexico...

Forgive my begging lunacy,
We crave identity –
Forgive my begging lunacy,
We crave identity.

We are the mummies of Guanajuato,
We are all asleep –
Only Guanajuato knows what happened here.




Blue Meanings

The big grey building
Breathes oxygen;
Satanic mills,
Conceptive pills
Weave human beings
Out,
In,
Recycling grey dust into white snow –
Then who knows?
Then who knows?
The grey building
Breathes grey vapours
Into cold icy skies,
Cold icy skies.
Crystals form
In the grey building’s hollow eyes –

Black hollow eyes,
Spiky,
Unfurnished, unthinking eyes,
Black hollow eyes.

The red brick building
Competes with war –
Cuts down the infants
That crawl across its floor.
The young, the old,
The red, the grey,
Wars cannot alter
What’s here to stay.
Dis-illusionists,
Ambitions for all,
Intrude the skies,
Intrude my eyes –

Black hollow eyes,
Spiky,
Unfurnished, unthinking eyes,
Black hollow eyes.

The big grey building
Breathes in oxygen;
Satanic mills,
Conceptive pills
Weave human beings
Out,
In,
Recycling grey dust into white snow –
Then who knows?
That big grey building
Breathes grey vapours
Into icy skies,
Crystals form
In the grey building’s mascara eyes –
Glossy,
Rebellious eyes;
Diverse little things,
Their naked Blue Meanings.
Mascara eyes –
Glossy,
Rebellious eyes.

Turning funnels
Intrude the skies,
Stormy rooftops
Rip naked the sky,
Blue Meanings,(weathered and old)
Ambitions for all
Intrude the skies,
Intrude my eyes –
Intrude the skies,
Blue Meanings,

Grey buildings,
Blue Meanings
Intrude the skies,
Intrude my eyes –
Diverse things,
Blue Meanings...

Peninsulas in the sky
Ambitions for all
Intrude the skies

Your Blue Meanings
Block my eyes...




TIGER! TIGER!

A raging sea
Brings a bird on the breeze to me.
Driftwood
Snap in me,
Pent-up frustations
Bring storm to me.

Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright,
Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright

Return with a vengeance
A craving in me,
Stirs fury
Through my body.
Lost pentangles,
Scornful friends,
Forget all hurt
With ease,
Return to scorn again.

I feel no regrets,
Your fortunes are hollow,
I silently laugh
At your plastic sorrows.

Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Did he?

Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Tiger! Tiger!
Tiger! Tiger!
Tiger! Tiger!
Burn in me




Vision

I had a vision of invasion,
See two lonely planets collide,
Feel the children of our future
Curl and gnarl,
Observing us all the time –

Say, my vision today
A daydream gone tomorrow,
Vision today
Is something to be followed.
Follow-ed...

They scream “aborted!”
Before birth can bring crime,
Their twisted hands
Stretch out and scratch my mind.
I told my friends,
Their reaction was so unkind –

Just, vision today
A daydream gone tomorrow,
My vision today
Is something to be followed.
Follow-ed...

I walk
when it’s dark,
Looking for a friend.
Alone in the darkness
I see those things again,
I see things I just cannot explain –

My lonely mind explodes,
I see strange things no-one can conceive;
My mind explodes in inner visions
Then deludes and deserts me.

Malignant violence grows,
Frequencies visit in the night;
Frequencies tell me,
tell me again,
I forgot

Those words delude and desert me,
Malignant violence grows within.
My ego expands,
Should I take these foolish people,
Gas them for their sin?
Remove their memories,
Reprogram them to re-begin?
It makes my lonely mind explode;
Should I take these foolish people,
Gas them for their sin?
Remove their memories,
Reprogram them to re-begin?
It makes my ego grow –

My lonely mind explodes(yet again)
I see strange things
no-one can explain.
Misty auras are my friends,
My insight on destiny
treads unseen.

Again




Insects

Wind ignites doors of midnight
Slams abuse into a broken street.
A scream sparks the neons back to life.
Born to the city
We’re your children in flames.
Emerging from the sewers
Of the dark and insane.
Our excuse is satanic saints –
The satanic saints –
Satan’s little baby saints!

We’ll penetrate your walls and slip inside.
Set your soul on fire with cyanide;
In your blueing flesh our seed will hide,
To rejuvinate your body to fight for our side.

The living dead, they cannot die.
The living living won’t survive.
All that’s left is suicide –
Life is lonely in this empty town.
I’m just hanging around.

Times so morose to a suicide failure,
I’m just another ghost of another failure.
I’m still alive, insects crawl all over me,
They’re crawling up my legs, all over my body,
They’re inside of me.

BITE BITE BITE BITE BITE BITE

Times so morose to a suicide failure,
I’m just another ghost of another failure.
Oh I’m still alive, insects crawl inside of me,
Insects are biting me




Love Me

Standing alone
On a treacherous landscape,
A desolate city screams
Sublime obscenities at me.

If you
you won’t love me,
If you don’t pursue me
Through your streets –
Please abuse me,
Throw my body to the floor,
I don’t wanna be alone no more.

Deep, dark empty corridors;
Swimming prisms full of light.
The city
Is the city alive tonight?
Or am I alone as always is, in the night?

But if you
you won’t love me,
If you don’t pursue me
Through your streets –
Please abuse me,
You’ve gotta throw my body to the floor,
I don’t want to be alone tonight.

Talking,
Talking to the talking walls,
Your desolate city doth please me,
Makes me feel foreign no more
In this foreign land,
Illuminated movements,
Synthesised minds.

You
You abuse me,
Throw my body to the floor.
You abuse me,
Throw my body to the floor.
Don’t you like my foreign shape,
Don’t you like my body no more?
Don’t you like my foreign shape,
Don’t you like my body no more?

Your illuminated movements,
Synthesised mind,
You abuse me.
You’re so unkind, you abuse me.
You’re so unkind, you abuse me.
You’re so, so, so –
Oh, use me!




She
She smears it all o’er me
Our raw meat clash
A parapet
Or balcony,
Our raw meat thrash.
Her flesh creep all over me,
Our bones mash.

I spend my money
Astride of her,
I straddle her
On bended knees

Her begging doth please,
No quality of flesh,
Of cavernous depths –
I pioneer her depths,
No quality of meat from the streets.

She is she is she is she is,
The dirt on her flesh.

I spend my money
Astride of her,
I straddle her
On bended knees
I straddle her
On bended knees

She smears it all over me,
Raw meat.
Seeths in and out of me
Our bodies clash,
As soon as we greet –
There’s blood, heat,
blood, light;
Our bones mash –
I love that trash.

I’m snared,
We dance on bended knees
Raw meat between our toes.
The raw meat thrash
We thrash
She is she is she is she is
etc.
Cheap machine
