Story behind the song
Mild obsession I had with a painting (Millais' "Ophelia") and the sitter, Victorian supermodel Lizzie Siddal. Compare and contrast between that and Marc Quinn's "Siren" that Kate Moss sat for. And that's the song.
Do a google image search on "millais ophelia" and "kate moss siren" if you are interested.
Lyrics
The clack of shutters and
The flash of mercury
Disturbs the spirits and
Awakens memories
Amongst the glitterati's prodigies and starlets
Some things that never change will ever be
But could you ever be .... my?
Ophelia in the water
Waifs and scatterlings
Cheat obscurity
By simple fortune or
Celestial sympathy
They play the powder game with digital precision
The scene unravels gracefully
From a distance I'd
Behold the audience of
Bonnie princess charlie with
The queen of laudanum
And see the sky light up
In incandescent energy
Some things that never change will ever be
And so the glassy stream glides on
Beneath the canopy
You scatter orchids and
Cry your last enchanting aria
But when the siren sings to free you from your infamy
You somehow follow peacefully
And so immortalized
In oil and aureate
You bind the symmetry
Across the centuries
And as you slip away in
Surreal serenity
Are you real or not for real?
To be or not to be?
Could it be you've died and risen over?
Ophelia in the water
