Amos, Tori - Amber Waves Lyrics
well he lit you up
like amber waves in his movie show
he fixed you up real good
till i don't know you anymore
from ballet class to a lap dance
and the pool side news
was that he would be
launching you
[CHORUS:]
into every young man's
bedroom - you gave it up
on dvd and magazine -
you gave it up
a private rite of passage
to every boy's sweet dream
with their paper cuts
you said "he's got a
healing machine
it glows in the dark
glows in the dark:
you say "there's not a lot
of me
left anymore -
just leave it alone.
but if you're buy, and you have
the time, tell the northern
lights to keep shining - lately it seems like they're drowning"
he cold light you up
and summon every swan
or the lakeside
off to cabo san lucas
for some optical stimulus
then you started to guess
there was someone else
though his flint glass
seeing all of you
immersed in his sepia
[CHORUS]
so i went by -
cause i had the time,
and told the northern lights
to keep shining
they told me to tell you -
they're waving

Amos, Tori Amber Waves Comments
thank you
This is great!!
I think she's talking about a Porn Star or Prostitute. The Northern lights are her kids or parents. She feels like she's so messed up she can't reach out to them. So she asks a relative or friend to say hi for her.
For what it's worth, Amber Waves was a character in brilliant film Boogie Nights. She was a porn star.
Tori was always a sordid genius who tortures herself with a glut of ideas, often way too many. This album was so ahead of it's time. I think Pancake is a great song in examining the current American President. Btw Amber Waves is an all time fav of mine
Joshua Abramson "Mesiah's need people dying in their names." Trump is a false prophet who's charismatic bravado fraudulently mobilizes the vulnerable behind him only to lead them to their own destruction once their backs are turned. That's what "Pancake" is all about and in some ways the male character in the song is similar to the female character in Cornflake Girl
Joshua Abramson The Cornflake girls sent their daughters, nieces and other young girls in the village to genital mutilation with lies and deception
The average Trump supporter is 58, the same age group that has seen a massive increase in bankruptcies due to exponential healthcare costs. Example of a "leader" leading his people to their own demise
I'm in Reykjavik, Iceland right now watching the NORTHERN LIGHTS! 12-4-17!
Normally, I Love her Live, but the album version, here, is my favorite. I love the harmonies in the background that are also her voice plus Drums and Bass just make this song come to life.
