beckoning round the bend...

[opethpainter]

i was simply wondering... WTF does that line from MAYH (the song is 'karma') mean?

someone - maybe mikael himself - can please help me?

 

[Galiral]

there's a similar line in bwp titletrack
"Perversions bloom round the bend"

 

[the opeth affinity]

and wreath? 'Our woven tragedy is just round the bend'

 

[leprecon]

Almost the same in White Cluster: "Beckoning right behind me"

 

[metalhead416]

im sure its one of those....unintelligble(sp?),,,,just for rhyming/flowing kindda lines...everyones guilty of it...."stnad up besides teh fireplace"....hahaha...who knows wshat that meant either.....PEAC EOUT

 

[KjeXXXer]

Beckon = wait/call, etc
Bend = turn in the road, corner

waiting around the corner/turn in the road, then.

Lolol grow a brain morans haha!

That last bit was a joke btw. But the use of language really isn't that cryptic.

 

[Seance]

just around the river bend

 

[antipunx13]

^Haha, Pocahontas...best Opeth song IMO.

 

[opeth fan]

[Zed Leppelin]

CLOSE TO THE EDGE DOWN BY A RIVER

 

[BrandonS]

I always thought he said "Bigger on the bench"

 

[batastrophe]

I always thought he said "Bigger on the bench"

Hahah

 

[Netherworld]

Most likely was written for this very purpose. To wonder...

 

[Beastkeeper]

Mmhmm.

 

[Travis]

Forgive me for being a smartass, but...

Beckoning

'round

the

bend

 

[opethpainter]

great, on the 'bend' term explanation there's also:

around or round the bend, Slang. insane; crazy: These interruptions will send me round the bend!
