Kanon
Enon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Melt it in your mouth.
There was fireflocks,
Sparkle in the ocean.
The lyrics of Enon's song Kanon appear to describe a surreal and dreamlike scenario. The opening line, "Hotel in the sky," suggests an impossible location or a space beyond reality, where a person may find refuge or escape from the mundane world. The next line, "Melt it in your mouth," adds to this sense of unreality, suggesting that even the elements of this world may be altered, transformed or consumed in ways that defy explanation.
The following lines, "There was fireflocks, / Sparkle in the ocean," continue to describe this dreamlike world, full of paradoxical and fantastical images. Fireflocks may refer to fiery creatures that fly in the sky, while "sparkle in the ocean" may suggest bioluminescent creatures or an otherworldly underwater scene. Overall, the lyrics of Kanon seem to invite the listener to enter a world of imagination and possibility, where anything can happen and nothing is quite as it seems.

on Knock That Door
Yup... just another good song by Enon. But wait! This song is an all-time great. I searched Enon on Spotify, and I knew all the top 5 most popular songs but this one. I knew and liked all the other top 5 Enon songs, so I just listened to this and didn't begin to regret it.

on Spanish Boots
Opportunity nooses than hang beyond the shade(?)
Machiavellian stooges that feign whatever's said
South Floridian ruses with nothing left to sell
Polynesian(?) amusements that fall under the spell
Having the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same kind of aim
At the game dealt
And mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
Vanished loot are the riches
That lay upon the breast
Spanish Boots for the witches
That kiss before the test
Gotta loom on the fixes
Bare waste and so severe
Minor shoots at the pieces
Lies burnt to stay, oh it's all so in vain
That it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
Oh it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
