1) The Amazing is a Swedish indie rock band whose members include Reine Fiske, who plays with Dungen, and Christoffer Gunrup, who played in Granada and with Anna Järvinen.
The band is often called a "super group from Sweden", but the band members think this sounds too contrived; "The Amazing is a natural process, a force of nature". Labels notwithstanding, The Amazing are a collective composed of members who have played (or still play) for Dungen, Granada, Sagor & Swing, Anna Järvinen, Life on Earth! and Dreamboy. Their self-titled debut album, The Amazing, is wide-ranging and spans everything from groovy electric folk rock, via psychedelic pop, to airy acoustic ballads. It was released in 2009, followed up by singles for the tracks Dragon and Deportation Day. Their latest EP Wait For A Light To Come was released in 2010.

Dragon
The Amazing Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I noticed how things got fallen
Bladders of rain... wood of the same...
Think I read it somewhere
There is a time inbetween
Here's an image of
Raging flesh of my mind and a psychotic parade

September lay dying

Things turn brighter around here
Come on, come along

And here's a chair I think I could use
When dragon flames are alive because
And there is time inbetween
Bladders of rain... wood of the same...
Dragon flames

September lay dying
Things turn brighter around here
Don't care about losses

September lay thy ear
Come on, come along

Overall Meaning

The opening line of the song "Dragon" by The Amazing speaks to a recognition that things have not been going well, that things have "fallen." This line is followed by a couplet about rain bladders and wood, which at first does not seem to make sense. However, the line "Think I read it somewhere" implies these images have been lifted from somewhere else, perhaps from a dream or another piece of writing. The lyrics then state "There is a time inbetween," which hints at a transitional space or liminal zone. The image this verse leaves us with is one of a mind in turmoil, struggling to make sense of external conditions.

The second verse uses the image of a dragon to suggest a fiery, destructive force. The line "When dragon flames are alive because" implies that the dragon's flames are dangerous precisely because they are alive--i.e., unpredictable and uncontrollable. The verse ends with the line "September lay dying / Things turn brighter around here," which is a somewhat cryptic statement. It seems to suggest a turning point, a time when things start to improve, but it is unclear why September is mentioned specifically. The final refrain is an invitation to come along on this journey, even with its ups and downs.

Overall, the lyrics to "Dragon" are mysterious and somewhat opaque, but they are evocative in their use of vivid, dreamlike imagery. It seems to be a song about overcoming obstacles and finding hope in dark times.

Line by Line Meaning

Lately I noticed how things got fallen
I have recently observed that things have deteriorated

Bladders of rain... wood of the same...
Rain and wood are both elements of nature mentioned together

Think I read it somewhere
I may have come across this idea before

There is a time inbetween
There exists a specific period of time that separates two events

Here's an image of
Here is a representation of something

Raging flesh of my mind and a psychotic parade
A vivid display of mental turmoil and an irrational procession

September lay dying
The month of September is ending

Things turn brighter around here
The situation here is becoming better

Come on, come along
Follow me, let's move forward

And here's a chair I think I could use
I have found a chair that I believe would be suitable for my needs

When dragon flames are alive because
When intense passion is present
