Quest for Ancient ColourLyrics
I had a very bad dream
The main actor in it was me
My scream had lost its source
Like a reservoir in a summer drought
Images remade themselves
I explored internal galaxies
The boys of summer had upped and gone
Girls in their summer dress had flown
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Here's what I discovered
In my quest for ancient color
I used to make sense
But now I am confused
I used to control
But now I just feel used
Here's what I discovered
In my quest for ancient color
Negative capability
Ran straight through me
My soul a suburban sinkhole
A vast brutal urban sprawl
I had a very bad dream
The main actor in it was me
My scream had lost its source
Like a reservoir in a summer drought
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Here's what I discovered
In my quest for ancient color
I used to make sense
But now I am confused
I used to control
But now I just feel used
Here's what I discovered
In my quest for ancient color
Here's what I discovered
In my quest for ancient color
I used to make sense
But now I am confused
I used to control
But now I just feel used
Here's what I discovered
In my quest for ancient color
Modern life was killed and crushed
By a derelict digitized love
My scream had lost its source
Like a reservoir in a summer drought

Quest for Ancient Colour?
My interpretation of the song lyrics are that the protagonist is delving nostalgically into his/her youthful past - a place where everything seemed simpler & made more sense; as opposed to the present 'bad dream' (nightmare), which is reflective of the confusion & displacement they feel as they move through middle age in the modern digitized world. I would be very interested to hear other opinions & interpretations.
