Lyrics King Crimson – Meltdown
Text:
Now we lie buried in the metaphors
And allegory won’t let him breathe
Distorting the truth, suffocates languages fake
We’re drowning in double-speak
The lexicon leaves him washed up, out of reach
More than who tried, injected under his skin
More than who tried, injected under his skin
Meltdown, words in meltdown, down
Meltdown, words in meltdown, down, down
When in doubt, better say nothing
Don’t speak without a place to begin
When in doubt, don’t just say something
Those platitudes starts within
Meltdown, words in meltdown, down, down
Meltdown, words in meltdown
Oh
Watch it coming down, there without a sound
See the kingdom drown under the waves
Watch it coming down, there without a sound
See the kingdom drown under the waves
Watch it coming down, there without a sound
See the kingdom drown under the waves
