Eponine
Ozma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa my eponine, can't you hear the words I sing?
Can't you hear the words I sing?
A crush can never be resolved
Seems like every resolution ends in tragedy
Singin' whoa, my eponine

we swore we'd die to end this bolshevik
And now it's time
Time to put an end to all your woe

(whoa) my eponine, can't you hear the words I sing?
Can't you hear the words I sing?

you can't just let this world revolve
Seems like every revolution ends in casualty

singin' whoa oh oh oh my eponine

before you go, just these last words for you
I love you so
And love can bring an end to all your woe

(whoa) my eponine, can't you hear the words I sing?
Whoa my eponine, you can't just let this world revolve
Whoa my eponine, can't you hear the words?




Can't you hear these words?
Whoa my eponine, can't you hear the words I sing?

These guys were so fearless.  They didn't care whether or not their stuff was going to be bought.  They probably hoped it was more than happened to be the case.  They made music that was beyond melodic and based around guitars.  Very few other bands can claim the same.  I respect them above so many other bands.
