Pictures of June (Lyric) by wilco Taillights receding, like blank eyes of red
with lackluster thoughts of leaving.
Theyâre brainwaves collapsing on film
for the entire world to see.
Taken out of context, with many lines of white
these words may seem complex.
Theyâre synapses collapsing on paper
for anyone to read.
Taking photographs of June
Consuming every thought
If only to release
These butterflies Iâve caught.
Copy fades, like fleeting afternoons
in the drawing of the shades.
Theyâre underwater lullabies
that no one can hear.
Illustrated passion spreads like new disease
but soon goes out of fashion.
Itâs an understated postulation
that no one cares to prove.
Taking photographs of June
Consuming every thought
If only to release
These butterflies Iâve caught.

I like this. I have no idea what it's about, but I like it.
Having trouble following this. Postulates are not proven, maybe that's the point. I like the first line.
That is the point. You only like the first line?
This actually goes with "Waiting for October" and another that will be my next post. A trilogy, I guess.
Well, I'm still not gittin' past the first line. Punctuation and capitalization more user-friendly might help, what with line 2 not really bein' a sentence an' all. An' ah never seen a brainwave collapse on no film. Guess I'm kina simple that way.
Yeah, i had you pegged as the kinda gal who likes it straightforward. Some of it is kind of odd...and you are right that the second line isn't a sentence. It's a song though...sometimes you gotta scrap the rules...and actually, the semicoln shouldn't be there...
better?
I heard a story once about a girl who was raped and her name was June and the time from October to June was nine months, and it kinda goes along if I stretch it a bit, kinda the way a genius does when a step above the other guys. Of course I wouldn't brag or anything like that.
Illustrated passion spreads like new disease A nice ring to that, and as a whole it's working.
Hwy wilco - overall it has a nice presence, but it didn't sink in until the end. Feature or bug?
I was thinking that each of those stanzas could be on their own, even expanded into more - then I hit the chorus and it gelled. So I guess you could go either way with it. consuming/consumes - I struggled with that a little. Did you try it the other way too? 348 view(s)
