Pseudo Silk Kimono
Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wearing bracelets of smoke, naked of understanding
Nicotine smears, long, long dried tears, invisible tears
Safe in my own words, learning from my own words
Cruel joke, cruel joke
Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono
A morning mare rides, in the starless shutters of my eyes
To this orphan of heartbreak, disillusioned and scorned
A refugee, refugee
(Safe in the sanctuary, safe)
The opening lines of Fish's song, "Pseudo Silk Kimono," paint a vivid picture of someone who feels safe within a fabricated identity or persona. This person is wrapped in a fake silk robe that provides a feeling of security but lacks understanding of their true self. The bracelets of smoke are a sign of addiction, symbolizing a person's self-destructive behavior or coping mechanism. The invisible tears represent a deep sadness that has been kept hidden for a long time, perhaps due to the person's inability to face their true emotions.
In the second verse, the morning mare ride is a metaphor for a terrifying experience or nightmare caused by the person's unresolved issues. The misplaced childhood spirit represents a part of the self that has been neglected or ignored, longing to be heard and acknowledged. The person depicted in the song is an orphan of heartbreak, disillusioned and scorned, a refugee from their own pain.
Overall, "Pseudo Silk Kimono" speaks of the importance of confronting one's true identity and emotions rather than hiding behind a false facade. It highlights the way addiction, trauma, and repression can keep a person trapped in a cycle of pain and detachment. The song urges listeners to find sanctuary in the truth and the courage to face what hurts.
