Find the hidden meaning withing these lyrics which seem to make no sense unless you peel away the layers. Bonus points if you figure out the last four lines.


FRANK BLACK AND THE CATHOLICS

** ROBERT ONION **

robert lead me into thought
onion layers wait for you
bounty of eternal fields
every muscle knot i feel feel
robert tell me what to do
tell exactly what you're not

tails pushing grand whales
heads hope to have the stuff
each flag had no sail

can you believe enough?
and though diana calls to you
she will never never yield
every siren has her spot

four hundred million
oh, that is very far
robert sweet onion

makes me feel so tired
another layer and layers and layers oh, no
robert can you find your way?
show me the way to come

zugzwang got me in a way
under my opposing thumb
branishing my shield
robert leads me into thought
into the dimming blue
nowhere in this world

for this old jack-tar
three cheers for robert
to the cinnabar
one ponders layers and layers and layers

OK Rommel, so you can do a search on the internet of the song and find that quote. Now how about looking at the lyrics again and find these three things:

  • Persons full name
  • Title of a book
  • an event that ends your stay on Earth


    The answers are all in the lyrics. Just look harder. I edited the LYRICS to show a clue.

    Still can't figure out the event? Rommel doesn't have to be the only one to answer.
    Keep looking at the last four lines

    Also, Jack Tar was a sailor

    Cinnabar is HgS, Mercury Sulfide, the primary ore of mercury. The mercury is obtained from it by roasting, the sulfur combining with oxygen and passing off as sulfur dioxide

    ZUGZWANG: A situation in a chess game in which a player is forced to make an undesirable or disadvantageous move.

    Had to look that up when I read it. Who the hell would think of using it in a song?

    oh yeah Frank Black.


    Thanks for playing.
    Glad it was fun.
