Mr 1470
Fish Lyrics

Here I sit in my bones, on the bones upon the hill
I am sitting on the hill, surrounded by bones. I am contemplating life and death, and the cycles of nature.

Staring out at the wild, blue yonder
I am looking out into the vast expanse of the sky, pondering the mysteries of the universe.

Digging deep, I'd found buttons in my pockets
I searched deep within myself and discovered something unexpected, like buttons in my pocket.

Naked now my skin begins to crawl
I feel exposed and vulnerable, and my body reacts with a physical sensation of discomfort.

I dream Suits, I see Suits
I have a recurring dream or vision of people in suits, which symbolize power and authority.

Looking back, was there ever such a moment
I am reflecting on my past and wondering if there was a specific instance that shaped my life.

Immersed in mystery I was witnessing a crime
I was involved in a situation where something illegal or unethical was happening, but I did not fully understand what was going on.

Digging deep I came across a murder
I investigated further and discovered that someone had been killed, possibly in connection to the earlier mystery I witnessed.

Among the roots of our spreading family tree
The murder was related to my family, and may have been a result of our familial connections or heritage.

We learned to love, we learned to kill
As a society, we have developed complex emotions and abilities, including both the capacity for love and the willingness to do harm.

We taught ourselves to rule the world
Humans have become the dominant species on Earth, and have achieved this through our intelligence and adaptability.

Do you see Suits, can you dream Suits?
I am asking if others share my desire for power and control, as symbolized by the image of people in suits.

There I stood, face pressed against the window
I am recalling a moment of longing or yearning, where I looked out at the world and felt trapped or isolated.

I know his number, but I'll never know his name
I have information about someone or something, but lack the deeper understanding or connection necessary to truly know them.

Behind the glass buried in the sockets
I see someone or something through a window, but their eyes seem lifeless or empty, as if they are being hidden or obscured.

Who's the one we're frightened of? We are the sons of 1470
I am questioning who or what truly holds power over us, and realizing that we are all products of our collective history and culture.

The geese fly chevrons cross the night sky
I am observing the natural patterns and movements of animals, which may hold deeper meaning or significance.

Heading south, the hunters lead them on
The animals are being hunted or guided by humans, demonstrating the complex and often harmful relationships we have with nature.

Jets trail the hems of skirts of angels
I see planes flying overhead, leaving behind a trail of exhaust that resembles the trailing fabric of an angel's dress. This may symbolize our human pursuit of power and technology, which often comes at the cost of the natural world.

A train threads along the valley floor
I see a train moving through the landscape, representing the unstoppable progress of technology and industry.

Here we live in our bones, on the bones beneath the soil
We are all ultimately mortal and exist in a cycle of birth, life, and death that is grounded in the physical world.

Staring out, mortal in the darkness
I am contemplating my own mortality and the unknown darkness that lies beyond death.

Digging deep we try to find the answers
As humans, we are constantly searching for understanding and meaning in our existence, even if the answers are elusive or difficult to find.
