You didn't like the spoken word song?
Is even the title not memorable ?
It’s about time and age and death coming for you. His lyrics are abstract, you have to think a bit. Or not, just enjoy the melodies.
Is that what a reviewer or Marr said the song was about?
When you wanna go home
And you need to turn back
Home? What home? Guess he’s gonna leave that up to us to decide.
Home as one’s house, Apartment, flat? Or home as back to one’s past/beginnings, one’s roots? Or back to the womb? Or a state of pre-being? let’s pretend one exists or can be experienced somehow? wacky, yes.
Turn it all around
Turn everything around
A sense there’s something wrong, one needs to correct something gone wrong, or needs to see something from a different angle to understand a situation better?
Just understand
Like a child
I guess we have to
just imagine how a child would understand this mysterious situation?
Understand with a mind that is prelinguistic? Because language gets in the way of truly understanding this situation?
All the pictures in your mind
Don't explain
No language, just images, the child’s mind? They don’t explain? If there’s no development of language, then of course it’s going to be hard to explain these pictures to one’s self or to others through words.
Don't let the good slip away
Don't let the good slip away
The mysterious good, what is this good? good to who? And why is there a threat that it could slip away?
And is this the way?
And is it the way?
What way? You tell us Johnny. We need to know what this way is, before we can decide if that is the correct way to go.
It's all coming, it don't stop coming to you
It's all coming, it don't stop coming to you
It's all coming, it don't stop coming to you
There’s nothing to tell us what’s coming. And It doesn’t stop, I guess
whatever that is coming it can’t be good? Or maybe the person in the song doesn’t want it to stop coming?
And it’s
all coming, so there must be a lot of it, whatever it is.
Volition,
: the power of choosing or determining : WILL
2: an act of making a choice or decisionalso : a choice or decision made
invention
(It's all coming, it don't stop coming to you)
So is
volition and
invention coming to this person? Is the person choosing to be creative? Or is the act
of being creative being forced on this person?
Break into creation
There was something in the way, the person had to break through in order to be creative? And what does Johnny mean by creation?
Humans create both good and bad, supposedly some supreme being created us and everything we can know and could never know, women can create other humans. Or is it something else Johnny?
Volition, predication
(All coming, it don't stop coming to you)
an act of proclaiming or preaching.
Make it through creation
(It's all coming, it don't stop coming to you)
The person is going through creation? Through the womb?
Or going through the act of creating? It seems this passage or act of creation is something difficult to bear, not pleasurable?
Cross over
You already have and you already know
The person crossed over? Through creation, into creation the person broke in and then crossed over? Of their own volition they crossed over, to what? Well if they break into creation, ‘life’ then the opposite could be destruction or death? maybe.
But breaking into creation because that is their choice to do so, then there’s a cross over? Does this have to do with gender identity? a cross over a transformation?
The person has already crossed over, and they already know? Know what? Know that they have crossed over? That they arrived somewhere other than the previous turmoil passage of creation?
(All coming, it don't stop coming to you
All coming, it don't stop coming to you)
Cross over
You already have and you already know
(All coming, it don't stop coming to you)
Then even after breaking through, and even after arriving crossing over, IT whatever this it is, is still
all coming, and it don’t stop coming
for this person.
So she/he doesn’t come to a place
even after knowing they have arrived? It continues even after they
have arrived?
Conclusion .....
It seems like Johnny is laying the burden of injecting meaning into his songs on the listener, rather than taking up that responsibility and work himself.
