Seems like a song about being in limbo, or maybe a dream.



I opened my eyes to sunlight, broke over the marsh.
My lungs are filled with sulphur, I was all washed up.
...brain/raining into a gutter.
I had no memory of who I was.

500 years I was close to(?) you.
500 years I was lost for you.
There's nothing left of me,
I can't move on for 500 years.

I followed the cleaner? sidewalks down into the city,
The Palm Rats? (this is a company in Naples) ...the telephone wires hanging up above me.
I knew that his black eyes were watching on me.
I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me.

Somewhere in the cemetery,
I know my corpse rotting.
My heart's paralysed and my chest feels like my ...?
Sometimes it feels like I have always been here,
Sometimes it feels like I will never leave.

To me it seems like a metaphor for the whole major label era. There is a video where Tom says, "This song is about being a ghost". So I'm going to say it's about that.

I just mean, sing it to the tune of DJS.

It would fit perfectly

I saw a video of Tom saying this song is about being a ghost.

I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh.
My lungs were filled with sulphur, I was all washed up.
Caught in a storm drain and into a gutter.
I had no memory of who I was.

500 years I was a ghost for you.
500 years I was lost for you.
There's nothing left of me,
I can't move on for 500 years.

I followed the cleaner? sidewalks down into the city,
The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me.
I knew that his black eyes were watching on me.
I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me.

Somewhere in the cemetery,
I know my corpse is rotting.
My heart's paralysed in my chest. Feels like my legs are made of concrete (?)
Sometimes it feels like I have always been here,
Sometimes it feels like I will never leave.

He's already changed that legs of concrete lyric.

It's now something like "a dead heart in my chest and a lapsed breath"

I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh.
My lungs were filled with sulphur, I was all washed up.
CRAWLED UP a storm drain and into a gutter.
I had no memory of who I was.

500 years I was a ghost for you.
500 years I was lost for you.
There's nothing left of me,
I can't move on for 500 years.

I followed the COQUINA sidewalks down into the city,
The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me.
I knew that his black eyes were watching on me.
I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me.

Somewhere in the cemetery I know
my corpse is rotting.
My heart's paralysed in my chest. / WITH A DEAD HEART IN MY CHEST
Feels like my legs are made of concrete / AND NOT A DRAW LEFT IN MY BREATH
Sometimes it feels like I have always been here,
Sometimes it feels like I will never leave.
