Feather Of Lead
Lampshade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O brawling love
O loving hate
Anything of nothing first create
O feather of lead
Give in
Give away
Get in
Get away
Take it all – To loose all
Why then
O brawling love
O loving hate
Anything of nothing first create
Heavy lightness
Serious vanity
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms
O feather of lead
The lyrics of Lampshade's song Feather of Lead are quite intriguing and appear to revolve around the theme of love and its contradictory nature. The opening lines - "Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, anything of nothing first create, O feather of lead" - suggest the idea that love is a complex and paradoxical emotion that can both create and destroy. It's described as a "feather of lead," which seems to connote that love can be both light and heavy, gentle and burdensome at the same time.
The next lines, "Give in, give away, lose it all - to gain some, get in, get away, take it all - to lose all" continue this theme of contradiction. It's as if the songwriter is saying that in order to truly experience love, one must give themselves over to it completely, even if it means sacrificing everything. But then again, it's also possible to get in too deep and lose oneself entirely, thus making the sacrifice worthless.
The final lines of the chorus - "heavy lightness, serious vanity, misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, O feather of lead" - add to the complexity of love. It's described as having a "heavy lightness," which could mean that love is both uplifting and a burden at the same time. It's also referred to as a "serious vanity," which perhaps speaks to the idea of how love can be both important and meaningless at the same time. The final phrase, "misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms," seems to suggest that while love can appear beautiful and perfect on the surface, it's often a messy and complicated affair underneath.
Overall, the lyrics of Feather of Lead paint a picture of love as a tumultuous and contradictory emotion that can both create and destroy, give and take, and uplift and burden.
