Lyrics

After emailing a member of the band I finally got the lyrics for 'Fly for a fly'. I'm going to look at the lyrics closely and then decide if to draw a storyboard around the lyrics or to not have a narrative a bit the the Grizzy Bear music video.

Fly for a Fly
is it comedy or tragedy as your eyes look into mine?
a feeling that we share, a feeling intertwined
and every step we make, and every breath we take
is another reason why it's not yet time to die

the cars they all take turns as they turn around the bends
the headlights shine a smile, they're already friends
but the drivers shout and stare and others watch and glare
some comentate while i just speculate

you see a tiny fly flying too near by
it's just the flick of a finger to end its little life
while the soldiers load their weapons, a war's just dragging on
it's another reason why we've got to strike them down in time

and the cities keep producing, the atmosphere grows thick
it makes me wonder why we've got to ruin it all so quick
and why the others here before us managed quite alright
but we just topped them off with the submarines and flights

this is not for you

let's bring up all the aeroplanes, let's lift them from the see
and maybe then we'll get it, we'll finally be free
from worry on our minds and thoughts kept in the past
we'll do it while we can, we'll do it while it lasts

let's try and look less deeply, we're looking way too hard
the secret's there infront of us amongst the notes and credit cards
which all of us are using, no we don't have a clue
and these aren't just my words written down for

they weren't written down for you.


I can see the references to the environmental/social problems with the lines and the cities keep producing, the atmosphere grows thick' and 'the secret's there infront of us amongst the notes and credit cards'. Also the personal references 'is it comedy or tragedy as your eyes look into mine?' and 'this is not for you'.
