Bob Dylan - day of the locusts

졸업식을 맞이한 주인공은 감정이 혼란스럽고 주변 환경은 어둡지만, 메뚜리의 아름다운 노래가 그에게 희망을 준다
여러 장면 속에서 메뚜리의 멜로디가 반복되며, 주인공은 그 노래를 통해 위안을 느낀다
마지막으로, 무더운 날씨 속에서 불안한 상황이 이어지지만 메뚜리의 노래는 그의 곁에 함께한다

Oh, the benches were stained with tears and perspiration
The birdies were flying from tree to tree
There was little to say, there was no conversation
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree
And the locusts sang off in the distance
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me
I glanced into the chamber where the judges were talking
Darkness was everywhere, it smelled like a tomb
I was ready to leave, I was already walking
But the next time I looked there was light in the room
And the locusts sang, yeah, it give me a chill
Oh, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
Oh, the locusts sang their high whining trill
Yeah, the locusts sang and they were singing for me
Outside of the gates the trucks were unloading
The weather was hot, a-nearly 90 degrees
The man standing next to me, his head was exploding
Well, I was praying the pieces wouldn’t fall on me
Yeah, the locusts sang off in the distance
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
Oh, the locusts sang off in the distance
And the locusts sang and they were singing for me
