Pull Me Under
by Steve Ouimette
|
Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by
and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase
and then fall again
This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me
Every day send future to past
Every breath leaves me one less
to my last
Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow
then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only father's son
As sure as I did ever love him
I am not afraid
This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps
spinning around me
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less
to my last
Pull me under Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is set it right
Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by
and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly
and I fall again
This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is
spinning inside of me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer
to my last
Pull me under Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in
the sun
Only until your will is done

Kevin Moore's lyrics refer to Shakespeare's Hamlet, and are told from Prince Hamlet's point of view. The lyrics allude heavily to the play and echo Hamlet's desire to give in to his desire to gain revenge for his father at the cost of his own sanity. Over the final moments of the song (from time 7'50'' until the end) James LaBrie can be heard singing a direct quote from Hamlet: "Oh that this too, too solid flesh would melt."
