Phish – Julius lyrics

Phish – Julius lyrics

Danger
I've been told to expect it
I begin my descent
Down the cold granite steps

And who could have turned among those I confide in?
I think that I know what I haven't known yet
'Cause a week is a month
And an hour a day
When your reaching just pushes it further away
With your past and your future precisely divided
Am I at that moment?
I haven't decided

And stretching out into the sea... Aquitana
Is that what the prophet told me he saw?
You gave it to me but I really don't want it
I came out on top by the luck of the draw
'Cause a week is a month and an hour a day
When your reaching just pushes it further away
And what's the return on the faith I've provided?
I think that I know now but I haven't decided

Don't take another, don't take another, don't take another step
Don't blame it on yourself
Then you'll lay it on ya brotha when your sleeping
You'll wake up in the morning and be gone.

Check it, I believe an interpretation of the song is much simpler (yet complex, thanks Trey/Marshall!).. a broken lamp.. here me out.. he's at a family holiday, everyone in the family is there, waking from a dreamy deep sleep and headed down the stairs to fetch a drink (or snack or whatever), he knocks over a lamp.. as he reaches for it, it pushes it further away.. time slows to a stop as it does when you fall or knock something over, all of the sudden childhood fear comes crashing back.. what do I do?? Own it?? Or blame it on my brother who in the morning will be leaving anyway.. I can blame it on my brother who was sleeping and because he'll be gone in the morning, nobody will have to face the consequences. I believe there are deep truths hidden in this interpretation of the song but also a Phish-like simpleness.

The tension between friends or family or lovers in a relationship that get into an argument is dangerous. You keep pushing to make the other see your side of things but it just makes it worse. When you are alone thinking about what happened, time seems to go super slowly, but remember not to blame everything on yourself or blame everything/take another step on the other person-even if you really don't want to. While you sleep that night, you "sleep on it(the problem)"-you knock sense into the other person in your dreams, but when you wake up, the person you were yesterday is gone. You are a new person who sees things differently the next morning. Yayaa ejn.
