Contextual Analysis of "albatross" in Lyrics

start

all the things you've said

i'm ok

for one more day

slow motion

sowing seeds of discontent

thought broke the silence like a bone

end

always searching for his mate

cannot find them

the chains that bind are getting restless

there are those that feel i've waited too long

blowing faster than the wind

await with patient dread for their meal

hail to the new bastille

as the future sails

i hear the sailor's call

over and down now i'll go home

start

she's fast asleep

is it my will on the breezes to toss

on the harmony there?

just stumbling around for what they do and don't need

no maritime rhyme

i called your bluff until i blew your circuits wide

devil

a crying jag since long-gone childhood days

with alabaster wings

oh no

he knows he holds dominion over me

some things are best left repressed

but you got to loosen it up

where's a ship on the ocean

leaders

far away from the sea of the setting sun

taught so well magic merlin the wizard

every one of us has a secret rhythm beating like a drum

this is what i do for a living this is what i do

and curse this mortal chain

let heaven hear your strain
