about

This track is about Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man. The lyrics were inspired by the movie The Elephant Man (1980) directed by David Lynch.

lyrics

Conceived like us, yet cross the river of death like no person!

“I first saw the light on the 5th of August, 1860; I was born in Lee Street and Wharf Street, Leicester. The deformity, which I am now exhibiting, was caused by my mother being frightened by an Elephant; my mother was going along the street when processions of Animals were passing by.” /Detail No.1/

Riding on the clouds of dismemberment,
On the apex of exclusion, of apathy,
No one will be able to salve us, to save us.
God‘ll be our only judge; ‘cause tempting God is like being a deicide.

“There was a terrible crush of people to see them, and unfortunately she was pushed under the Elephant's feet, which frightened her very much; this occurring during a time of pregnancy was the cause of ... my deformity, my deformity, my deformity! /Detail No.2/

Deformed outfit, deformed face
Yet my soul is complete
God forbid us. God forgive us.
Avoid the apex of exclusion…

Come on dream this dream with me,
Feel this constantly, the rise of apathy.
Come on dream this dream with me,
Sick, ailing, morbid, (‘n) woozy and my deformity!

Riding on the clouds of dismemberment,
On the apex of exclusion, of apathy,
No one will be able to salve us, to save us.
God‘ll be our only judge; ‘cause tempting God is like…

…being a deicide. God forbid us.
I am not an animal, I am a man, I am a human being!

Deformed outfit, deformed face
Yet my soul is complete
God forbid us. God forgive us.

Come on dream this dream with me,
Feel this constantly, the rise of apathy.
Come on dream this dream with me,
Sick, ailing, morbid, (‘n) woozy and my deformity!
Come on dream this dream with us,
Feel this constantly, the rise of our apathy.
Sick, ailing, morbid, woozy and my… my deformity!
