What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Dnn't know, don't know, don't know
Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy this oughtta bug your parents
Yeah
It's un-in-tel-ligible
I just can't get it through my skull
It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss(?)
With all these marbles in my mouth
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know...
Well we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle
Yeah
And I forgot the next
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet's so hard to find
What are the words? Oh, nevermind
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know don't know...
Well, I'm yellin' and we're playin'
But I don't know what I'm sayin'
What's the message I'm conveyin'?
Can you tell me what I'm sayin'?
So have you got some idea?
Didn't think so, well, I'll see ya!
Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, adinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaah!
From LBV10000 (lisa_vincent2002@yahoo.com)
The lyrics to Oliver Shanti's "Sacral Nirvana" are in fact entirely instrumental, so there are no words to interpret. The song is a meditative and serene instrumental piece with elements of traditional Middle Eastern and Indian music. It incorporates the sounds of tabla drums, sitars, and flutes, and features a repetitive melody that is designed to create a calming and meditative atmosphere.
As an instrumental piece, "Sacral Nirvana" is open to interpretation, and listeners may find that the music evokes different emotions or images depending on their personal experiences or cultural background. Some may find that the gentle melody and steady rhythms suggest a feeling of tranquility or inner peace, while others may find that the exotic instrumentation evokes images of far-off lands and cultures.
