La Monte Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said it was my babel
It was my babel
Tell all people
Now you know it's over rolling off her shoulder
You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget
Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you?
Hallucinating
Chasing
Changing
Racing
Breaking
Hating
Till you lost it all
Where was your girlfriend
He was not your man
Where you were going
You are on your own
He was quick to burning
He was slow to learning
Though inside you're misted
He still kissed her when she cried
And did your best to please her
You didn't up and leave her
You befriended the harsh way it ended
Now sleep tight
Hallucinating
Chasing
Changing
Pacing
Bracing
Breaking
?
You wanna be the one that shoots that truth ?
I'm not dead
I'm running so far out of my head
This sprain of heart that ripples my day
You can never sail by thinking away
La Monte Young's song "31 VII 69 10:26-10:49 PM: Munich From Map of 49's Dream the Two Systems of Eleven Sets of Galactic I" is a highly experimental piece of music that is open to interpretation. The lyrics of the song are psychedelic in nature and seem to explore themes of disillusionment, betrayal, and personal transformation.
The opening lines of the song, "Say it was your babel/Said it was my babel/It was my babel/Tell all people," suggest that there is a shared experience of confusion or disorientation that the singer wants to communicate to others. The reference to "babel" could be an allusion to the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, which represents the breakdown of communication and the dispersion of people.
The rest of the song is a series of fragmented images and emotions, with lines like "Hallucinating/Chasing/Changing/Racing/Breaking/Hating/Till you lost it all" capturing a sense of chaotic energy. The repeated refrain of "Hallucinating/Chasing/Changing/Pacing/Bracing/Breaking" suggests a cycle of intense emotions that the singer is trying to break or escape from.
The line "You wanna be the one that shoots that truth" could be interpreted as a desire to uncover or reveal something hidden or unknown. The closing lines, "This sprain of heart that ripples my day/You can never sail by thinking away" suggest that the emotional pain or turmoil that the singer is experiencing cannot be ignored or intellectualized away.
Overall, the lyrics of "31 VII 69 10:26-10:49 PM: Munich From Map of 49's Dream the Two Systems of Eleven Sets of Galactic I" offer a cryptic and enigmatic exploration of inner turmoil and transformation.

Tell all people
Inform everyone
Now you know it's over rolling off her shoulder
Now you understand that it's done and she's shrugged it off
You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget
You have the option to climb up to the darkness and let go
Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you?
Did she give you a kiss and then abandon you?
Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in?
Did she do it intentionally to lure you?

Where you were going
To where were you headed
You are on your own
You're alone now
He was quick to burning
He easily caught fire
He was slow to learning
He didn't learn quickly
Though inside you're misted
Even if inside you're foggy
He still kissed her when she cried
He still gave her a kiss when she wept
And did your best to please her
And you tried your hardest to satisfy her
You didn't up and leave her
You didn't just leave her suddenly
You befriended the harsh way it ended
You accepted the difficult way it concluded
Now sleep tight
Now rest well

I'm running so far out of my head
I'm escaping my own thoughts
This sprain of heart that ripples my day
This emotional injury that affects my entire day
You can never sail by thinking away
You can't ignore your problems by simply thinking about something else

Hypnotic!
On-the-spot analysis:
Sine wave generator, at or about 200 Hz
Marian: unison vocal drones, changing to an 8:9 ratio at about 20-minute mark
La Monte: sliding vocals matching (more or less) harmonic series: the fun stuff!
La Monte can't quite get his voice to sound at 50 Hz. (I can't either, so that's not a criticism!)
