“Phantom Limb,” the album’s first single, is about two teenage lesbians
and the alienation they feel from their peers at a small-town high school.
As we scroll down the lyrics, Mercer admits that much of it is actually about
the alienation he felt growing up, just re-contextualized.
这首歌写的是一对蕾丝边少女的疏离感.
"Phantom limb" 是被割离已不存在, 却仍然有 "感觉" 的肢体;
所以可能是...象徵上的阳具 (行动, 作为的意志) ?
当然也可能是 "心里想出走, 身体却还待着" 的疏离状态.
Foals in winter coats
White girls of the north
File past one five and one
they are the fabled lambs of Sunday ham
the EHS norm
And they could float above the grass
in circles if they tried
a latent power i know they hide
to keep some hope alive
that a girl like i, could ever try
could ever try
So we just skirt the hallway sides
a phantom and fly
Follow the lines and wonder why
there's no connection
A week of rolling eyes
and cheap shots from the trite
and we're off to Nemarcas porch again
another afternoon
of the goat headtunes and pilfered booze
we wander through her mamma's house
the milk from the window lights
family portrait circa '95
this is that foreign land
of the sprayed on tans
and it all feels fine
be it silk or slime
So when they tap our Monday heads
two zombies walk in our stead
this town seems hardly worth our time
and we'll no longer memorize or rhyme
too far along in our climb
stepping over what now towers to the sky
with no connection
So when they tap our Sunday heads
two zombies walk in our stead
this town seems hardly worth our time
and we'll no longer memorize or rhyme
too far along in our crime
stepping over what now towers to the sky
with no connection
