Morphing Again
Mike Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Speaking in bubbles her words umbrellaed me
When we bounced back to her house
She got quiet and wound up her energy
She leapt like a frog
But got chased by the green sparrow
She bartered her being
Escaping the bird as a airborne scorpion
She's morphing again
Into something I can't recognize
Just when I'm in
She might morph her wa out
Now that the years have gone by
She flutters through rain like a waterlogged buttterfly
I feel much more calm when she lands
My sould mate sits still with a new found tranquility
Then comes her quantum leap
She gets chased by the green sparrow
We met some old friends
Who mistook her for someone she wants to become
The song "Morphing Again" by Mike Gordon is a lyrical masterpiece that portrays a vivid picture of two people who met during a rainy night in blankets of rain. The song starts off with the two characters meeting in the rain and the woman speaking in bubbles that umbrella the singer. After bouncing back to the woman's house, she becomes quiet and winds up her energy. She then takes a leap like a frog but is chased by a green sparrow. The woman ends up bartering her being and escapes the bird like an airborne scorpion. The lyrics here are metaphorical and describe how the woman is always morphing and constantly changing into something that the singer cannot recognize. The singer is afraid that just when he thinks he has the woman figured out, she might morph her way out of his life.
As years go by, the woman continues to change and morph like a waterlogged butterfly. The singer feels more calm when she lands around him, and he feels that she is his soul mate who has found new-found tranquility. However, the woman soon makes another quantum leap and is chased by the green sparrow again. This time, they meet some old friends who mistake her for someone she wants to become. The song is deep and symbolic and talks about how people are always changing and morphing into someone else. It also touches on the fear of loss when someone morphs out of one's life.

Tom Cleary is really good too. You can tell he's an old school jazz guy when he starts flipping out like he's having convulsions behind the keys.
@sjhorowi
have you ever been to a show? scott murawski shreds that guitar harder than anyone else, and percussionist Craig Myers is really entertaining too.
