Arcadia Lyrics by Marsy Mars

Mars Lives

2019

Verse 1
First one but one salute to those 'thout whom
I would not be here, those willing to irritate
The grain of hope native to the bivalve of the soul
And in time give rise to the pearl of a human future
Realtor of fate, do me a favour, I'm seeking a state
By which I can be saved and act as saviour;
My personal pick of heroes denoting its net of stars
That will let no dream of a denizen escape
My friends believe nation's a label to hold 'em back
But their disbelief in history? They're proud of that
I wish to see the world as it is, not in wish
By neoliberal Libra or Instagram filter:
A world to repulse, pick dreams of their meat
Make islands of man, demand use of words like "syncresis"
I want to see a picture of all-can-be in its totality
And be a man after all nationality
Chorus
Oh that was so real
By the shade was saved all our wind
That blows down every untroubled path
And spits its game to me
"Show me something I've never seen before"
Verse 2
"Yeah Mars was here, talking like a syphilitic about realtors."
"Then to the corner pub or to the ruins I believe he peeled to."
"Sounded like a man trying not to show his fear as it was."
"Spoke our language, speech still underpinned by tears of dogs."
Sometimes it's easy to be redeemed by a stranger
And remain one such that faith need never be paid
Chelsea, Napoli, Seville and Brazil:
If one won't be my Arcadia, maybe the others will
Those ruins look to me like memories
Confusing those who've been told they own 'em
Those ruins so fine stretched from city to coast -
One thought seemed to dig and home among 'em more than most;
That in a moment's holding you
I'd feel a closeness so profound, and so updone
It felt like we were merging into one
Verse 3
I've been around the world
And I ain't seen myself anywhere
And since i don't know what perfection means to me
Nor any perfection did I see
So beholding many souls' migration I came home
Knowing and aware of what holds me back:
Looking without seeing, a human not doing
Merely being
Some look within, I look without to find my Arcadia
Where I can kick back with a Co*e and watch silver be made-ia;
Where I can see before it happens what I won't be around to see-ia;
Then after to my own private little island be a retiree-ia
The voicebox will still be mine
But the stories of others it'll be voxing for a due time
You and I will reunite in about nine tracks' time;
I'm heading out for rhyme
