First
Art Rush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was thinking about Chloe
I was just eleven
Did not know what I was doing
Did not know what was happening
In fact I thought I was gonna die
When I saw myself with my eyes
For the first time
My first orgasm at the movies
was at Macquarie
Greater Union Cinema 8
Far left in the back row behind the curtain
Girl and I were necking
One thing soon became another
We were watching The Interpreter
I think I really loved her
The shiny things we idolised
The way we laughed and sympathised
Our little money on the rise
The beauty that we synthesized
Lonely lows and social highs
Gorgeous girls and pretty guys
The saddest glimmer in her eyes
We grew up here more than we might realise
This is our real lives
My first orgasm
My first orgasm

2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
King James Version
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Repent every one be baptize in name of Jesus Christ for remission of sin.
Mark 16:15-16
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

Unbelievable. The older I get, the more I understand the immense musicality those three had.

The puny mind of youth can not yet perceive the vast infinite wisdom of rush. It is only when you awaken your third eye and visit the lake of lee and the peninsula of peart where you bask in the glory of rush’s immeasurable knowledge. It takes 1000 years of age to even get the slightest understanding.

@@_owenclark_5268 That kind of nails it!
