[Intro]
Flow to know
(Betwixt)
… on the River Styx
[Verse]
First time ’round
(Found the middle ground)
Namely…
(Mindlessness aimlessly)
[Bridge]
Passing through
(Asphodel Meadows)
How ’bout you
(Another shadow)
[Verse]
Found I was goin’ ’round
(Round and round and never found)
It was plain I was wondering
(Wandering the Plain of Wandering
[Bridge]
[Verse]
’til I got betwixt
(By the River Styx)
In that space….
(Between a rock n’ a hard place)
[Bridge]
[Outro]
Can’t cross the river
(Can’t seem to deliver)
Stuck in the muck
(Oh, what the funk)
ABOUT THE SONG
Asphodel Meadows: This is the neutral “middle ground” for ordinary souls who were neither exceptionally good nor evil. It is often described as a bleak, grey plain of mindlessness where souls wander aimlessly.
The Plain of Aleion (Plain of Wandering): Specifically for Bellerophon, this was the place on Earth where he fell after his failed flight to Olympus. He spent the rest of his life there blind and alone, essentially caught in a “living death” before he finally passed away.
The River Styx: This is the boundary between the world of the living and the dead. Sisyphus once tricked Persephone on the shores of the Styx into letting him return to life, temporarily existing in that “between” space.
