I had the strangest dream...

The world was enveloped in darkness. I looked all about me, but there was no light... // I was floating through the sky. Dark clouds stretched out below me, and I could see no trace of land... // But I heard voices. // Voices wailing about in despair, screaming in fear. // The cruel laughter of some unseen villain. // And... // A voice... calling my name!

I covered my ears. // All I could do was drift through the skies. // What power did a tiny, insignificant creature like me have? // But no matter how I tried, I could not shut the voice out. // Who was it? // Why was he calling me? // I'm just Ricky... // Tiny, insignificant Ricky...

Then, suddenly, I felt the light... // A faint flicker emanating from my body. // and the words came to me... // I don't remember where I heard them -- or when -- // but they were warm, and strong: // "May the sun shine forever in our hearts!”

And then it hit me.
In this world, I was the sun! // Upon realizing this, my body began to overflow with light. // It was so bright that I closed my eyes... // ...And then, I was back in my bed.

But I saw him. I know it. // The moment I shielded my eyes against the light, I saw him -- // the boy who was calling my name, standing on the earth. // I saw his face, beaming brightly. // And I saw the weapon he held up high -- LIGHTS OUT!

OK, i'm tired now. but those are the best of the best. i think modern indie shmindie hipster rock are no quite apt at delivering sarcasm, rage or irony with gusto. if you want to get a feeling for tasteful use of double entendre you need to get 20s and 30s music hall pieces especially from Germany. The Pianola song of Marlene Dietrich can be read as harmless, fabolous, salacious or political at once. That's masterclass.

Canvas Solaris is one of my favourite bands, and they're very nerdy. other bands in the style are Planet X (Planet Ten) and Parallaxe (the name is related with astronomy, is when distant stars seem to be in different position according to our position in the earth, which can be used to measure distance) and so on...
