Pavement - starlings of the slipstream

이 노래는 잃어버린 리더십과 사람들의 고통을 표현하며, 개인적인 이야기와 상징을 통해 사회적 맥락을 탐구한다
슬라브 공주와의 관계를 말하며 정체성과 문화의 상실을 회상하고, 슬립스트림에서의 안전한 도피를 꿈꾼다
결국, 불안과 소외 속에서의 존재감을 강조하며, 멀리 떠나고 싶어하는 마음을 드러낸다

I heard what you said
The leaders are dead
They're robbing the skies
I can hear their followers cry
Starlings in the slipstream
Starlings in the slipstream
Starlings in the slipstream
Starlings in the slipstream
The language of influence
Is cluttered with hard, hard Cs
And I put a spy cam
In a sorority
Darlings on the split-screen
Darlings on the split-screen
Darlings on the split-screen
There's no women in Alaska
There's no Creoles in Vermont
There's no coast of Nebraska
My mother, I forgot
Slavic princess with a rose in her teeth
Do you suppose she would bite you if she could?
Insane cobra split the wood
Trader of the lowland breed
Call a jitney, drive away
In the slipstream we will stay
Stay away, away, away, away, away, away, away
