SEAGULL - RIDE - Transcribed by Stephen Cummings
Bsus D C#m
MY EYES ARE SORE MY BODY WEAK
Bsus D C#m
MY THROAT IS DRY I CANNOT SPEAK
pause Bsus
MY WORDS ARE DEAD
D C#M Bsus
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE FLOOR
D E D Bsus
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE FLOOR OH OH OH OH OH
The rest of the song uses the same chords
YOU GAVE ME THINGS I'D NEVER SEEN
YOU MADE MY LIFE A WAKING DREAM
BUT WE ARE DEAD
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE FLOOR
FALLING LIKE ASHES TO THE FLOOR
DEFINITIONS CONFINE THOUGHTS
THEY ARE A MYTH
WORDS ARE CLUMSY LANGUAGE DOESN'T FIT
BUT WE NO THERE'S NO LIMIT TO A THOUGHT
WE KNOW THERE'S NO LIMIT
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO SEE ME RISE
YOU BURN MY WINGS BUT WATCH ME FLY
ABOVE YOUR HEAD
LOOKING DOWN I SEE YOU FAR BELOW
LOOKING UP YOU SEE MY SPIRIT GLOW....

| Now it's your turn to see me rise, You burned my wings, but watch me fly. Great song. Very uplifting, like a Seagull might, I guess. | |

| Well, having listened the hell out of Vapour Trail and Taste off of Nowhere, I guess this is my new favourite song. Very beautiful lyrics. I'd guess that it's about being cheated on, and ending a relationship because of it - the first verse describes how crestfallen the narrator is feeling at the point of revelation, and how transcendental the partnership had been before that. The second seems to describe the unspoken feeling that all is not well - no words are needed, or even adeguate to express the emotion felt. Finally the narrator describes how, through his partners action, he has been able to escape into honesty. The final two lines describe the narrator now free of this painful relationship, now happy and free. The whole seagull thing is of course a reference to freedom. I always thought that they were the most free of birds - gliding atop the ocean, free, free of predators (as far as i know - ???) and joyous. Pretty nice. Ah well, I always miss the mark by just a little on meanings, but I think I understand this song. The music seems to go wonderfully with the lyrical theme, right? | |
