Metaphor for a missing moment Pull me in to your perfect circle

One womb One shame One resolve

Liberate this will To release us all

Gotta cut away, clear away Snip away and sever this Umbilical residue, Keeping me from killing you

And from pulling you down with me here, I can almost hear you scream

Give me one more medicated peaceful moment Give me one more medicated peaceful moment

And I don't wanna feel this <span style="background-color: #e2e7d4; color: #494c88; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Overwhelming hostility <span style="background-color: #e2e7d4; color: #494c88; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">I don't wanna feel this <span style="background-color: #e2e7d4; color: #494c88; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Overwhelming hostility

<span style="background-color: #e2e7d4; color: #494c88; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">I know the lyrics are a little depressing, but I believe they do allude to the famous trilogy.

This is the one song everyone would like to learn: the song that is irresistible:

the song that forces men to leap overboard in squadrons even though they see beached skulls

the song nobody knows because anyone who had heard it is dead, and the others can’t remember. Shall I tell you the secret and if I do, will you get me out of this bird suit? I don’t enjoy it here squatting on this island looking picturesque and mythical with these two feathery maniacs, I don’t enjoy singing this trio, fatal and valuable.

I will tell the secret to you, to you, only to you. Come closer. This song

is a cry for help: Help me! Only you, only you can, you are unique

at last. Alas it is a boring song but it works every time.

Margaret Atwood
