Elle 121,278 Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Written Version Two blue steel trains run through the tunnels of your cool blue steel eyes Vernon Rock quarry The vastness of which has nothing on my beautiful mind Dylan I hear Dylan when i look at you i can see it on my arm in invisible ink like a tattoo The ying to my yang The toughness to my unending softness A striking example of masculinity Firm in your verticality Sure in your confrontation against all elements And duality The sun to my wilting daisy The earth to the wildflower that doesn't care where it grown Vernon Everything's burnt here There's no escaping it The air is fried and on fire I've never really fallen in love But whatever this feeling is I wish everyone could experience it This place feels like a person Familiar Like someone i've stood next to before But never while i was standing next to you Thank you For being here For bearing witness to my vastness Through the year I've called you in and out of my orbit You, in your madness The satellite that's constellating my world Mimicking the inner chaos that i've disowned A mirror to my past life retribution A reflection of my sadness If i'm going to keep on living the way that i'm living i cant do it without you. My feet aren't on the ground i need your body to stand on Your name to define me On top of being a woman i am scared and Ethereal and There are seven worlds in my eyes I'm accessing of all them once One to draw my words and my muses Another one i try and harness late at night that lies somewhere Off of the right of Jupiter And then of course there's this one i live in The land of 1000 fires That's where you come in You Vernon Dylan Two blue steel trains Running through the tunnel of your Cool blue steel eyes To guide me far from the world of my early days That i cant quite make out clearly That beckon me towards a high sea cliffs On long car rides Towards a future place A world unknown to me Made up of something surreal and dripping Flowers in solar systems Oversized You Vernon Dylan No words needed to sponge up the Dark nights No explanations for the globes in my eyes Shoulder to shoulder in the factory light Letting me be who i would have been If everything had turned out alright 3 alternative endings Course through my blood on ice i thrive because i say i do and because its what i write But honestly if you werent here i dont know what things would look like That's my why no matter what world i'm in i navigate by satellite Vernon Dylan and you in your madness Two trains running Through your cool blue eyes --- Spoken Word Version Two blue steel trains run through the tunnels of your cool blue steel eyes Vernon Rock quarry The vastness of which has nothing your my beautiful mind Dylan I hear Dylan when i look at you i can see it in invisible ink like a tattoo The ying to my yang The toughness to my unending softness A striking example of masculinity Firm in your verticality Sure in your confrontation against all elements And duality The sun to my wilting daisy The earth to the wildflower that doesn't care where it grows Vernon Everything's burnt here There's no escaping it The air is fried and on fire I've never really fallen in love But whatever this feeling is I wish everyone could experience it This place feels like a person Familiar Like someone i've stood next to before But never while i was standing next to you Thank you For being here For bearing witness to my vastness Through the years I've called you in and out of my orbit You, in your madness The satellite that constellates my world Mimicking the inner chaos that i've disowned A mirror to my past life retributions A reflection of my sadness If i'm going to keep on living the way that i'm living i cant do it without you.

MargaretThatcher 1,331 Posted July 27, 2020 Certainly a Bob Dylan reference. His work has had a huge impact on Lana. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
necessary sacrifice 8,865 Posted July 27, 2020 Certainly a Bob Dylan reference. His work has had a huge impact on Lana. I love this poem and how she uses Bob Dylan as a symbol almost, like a personification of masculinity/the quintessential male experience. It’s interesting. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
