about

Monet, especially in his later work where he gets into post-impressionism, really draws you in and makes you come at the world through his eyes. Not very much is clear. You can see the paint, but not the shadowed churches of his work...you can see the lines...but not the details, and they all kinda blur together. Seeing Monet for the first time in DC was inspiring, his work is one that can't be understood through a picture of the work, but must be experienced.

The song continues the line of impressionism/interscendence as we experience the blurry nature of our lives and lines.

lyrics

The world is round
I saw it in the outline of the rails
Intercepted and interrupted
By lilies and ripples

The world is now
A river of impressions floating by
Green and blue
Black or white
It's not so easy for my eyes

The world is color
The world is sight
The world is image in eye
The world is outside
And there aren't
So many lines

We bleed into canvas and sky
