The Longshoreman's Lament
Falcon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Can you fell it now? Come on and feel it now!)
I'm like a log in the fire, and shit, I don't know what to believe.
(Can you feel it mow...come on feel it now...)
Black soled feet and a burlap throne. I'm gonna cry 'til Daddy comes home.
Yeah, you really never know (we really gotta go).
I fucked the whole crew now my skin's grey and spotting. (Can you feel it yet? It's what we all get!)
The sailors and the prostitutes are dancing on the graves
Of all the noblemen and the maidens and the slaves.
The longshore haunts are empty. The sticky spots have dried.
I'm drowning in my skin from the tears I never cried.
Fuck the "Lord be with you's" and fuck the "Bless my soul's".
Go down to the barrel and stick it in the hole.
Stick it in the motherfucking hole!
The Longshoreman's Lament by Falcon The is a song that captures the dark and hopeless feeling of being stuck in a dead-end job or a monotonous routine. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a longshoreman or a worker who is struggling to make sense of their life. The line "For some reason, this greasy dead season's running circles around me" sets the tone for the entire song, as it describes a sense of hopelessness and despair.
The following line "I'm like a log in the fire, and shit, I don't know what to believe" portrays the singer's feeling of being stuck in a situation they cannot escape. They are burnt out and cannot find a way out of their predicament. The words "Black-soled feet and a burlap throne, I'm gonna cry 'til Daddy comes home" describe the melancholic state of the singer. They feel trapped, powerless and long for a way out.
The rest of the song goes on to describe the singer's feelings of being forgotten and left behind. They describe their skin turning yellow and grey, suggesting they are either sick or dying. The sailors and prostitutes are dancing on graves, which is a metaphor for celebrating death and the end of suffering. The chorus "Can you feel it now? Come on and feel it now!" is an invitation to the listener to empathize with the singer and feel their pain.
