“Many miles away there's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake”
"Synchronicity II"
Synchronicity (1983)
Context: Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now, looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake
“Many miles away something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake”
"Synchronicity II"
Synchronicity (1983)
Context: Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake
First manuscript version (19 November 1861).
The Battle Hymn of the Republic (1861)
“Near the lake where drooped the willow,
Long time ago!”
Near the Lake, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
“The killer of souls does not kill a hundred souls. He kills his own soul a hundred times.”
El matador de almas no mata cien almas; mata una alma sola, cien veces.
