And then when then I die
I feel I shall say
I have not understood
I have not understood any of this
My eyes are still coaldark
I have not understood
Around and in my eyes the tiny flecks
Of swirling crippled confused lights
And to my heart I will whisper
Softly quietly
"There is no death there is no death"
(And goodbye to you all)
Under the gorgon grinned arches
Of London's great vaults
I have not understood
Under the sunpuckered roofs of Kathmandu
I have not understood
Along the soulstoned streets
Of Lower
And of Higher Germanie
I have not understood
Leipzig: blackeyed pain and loss: she
I have not understood
In Clare near I
The empty lakes are open in the distance
And too close is the faminereatchingroad
All these are ghosts
There I have not understood
(In the Heart of the Wood
Oh there have I understood)
I rested at the temple of Great Black Time - Her
And did not understand
Though animalbled fleshmarbled rivers ran in Her honour
His buckled body in blood
Returns to the prebirth poise
Spreadeagled like starfish -
There in His eyes:
Incomprehension mute pain disbelief what
Blood there meant sorrow trickles there
This I could not understand
I bend the pages of yet another book
And in its lines Great Black Lines
I have not understood
Please gramerey pray for me
And oh goodbye sweetestheart
The wind roars in the nearness
And there in my heart
And all the clouds are spiralling towards us
Descent indeed to the centre of it all
Skipping lightly and lying truly
This we shall understand
I hope...
Wet bent humped trees
The great ones - there
On the lapped shore
Dai Ichi
There also I do not know
This is all unknowable
And as the dust covers
My empty eyes
You shall read in these foolish gapes
Oh that I have not understood
(But if you look for the stag and the cross conjoined
There on my arm look there
There I have understood very well)
Now you are all fading
All fading
As my age creeps on
As This Age stumbles on
Fires in the earth
Fires in the sky
Fires in our hearts
Fires everywhere
The black eyes
Already blacken
And this I have not understood
Not peace
But a sword
This and He
Unfortunately
I have understood
Under the bowered greenwood tree
When first I lay
Bright starre with Thee
Under the velvet branches dear
When sun and moon both came so near
Under the starlit open dome
Under the starsharp pointed lights
Under the starloved greeny earth
When first I wanted to hold You
And all the world halfdead and halflive
Spat into my mouth
Bluesea bitterwater
And I am almost dead
And I have not understood
Under the rain and teeth of gods
Under the pain and sleeping liddy eyes
Under the brokkd wetful heaven
If you are there
If you are there
If you are there
Then I am singing with my eyes
If you are there

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
在無解的迷霧中掙扎，試圖尋找存在與死亡的意義。
主題
探討人類對生命、死亡與神諭的無力理解，並在現實與信仰間擺盪的哲思。
情緒
迷惘、絕望、靜默的掙扎，夾雜微弱的希望與對終極真理的嚮往。
意象與手法
以「煤黑的眼睛」「漩渦般的破碎光點」隱喻靈魂的混沌，透過地名與神話符碼（如「Gorgon」「Great Black Time」）建構超現實的宗教隱喻，重複「I have not understood」強化無解的宿命感。
重點句解讀
1. 「There is no death there is no death」
無視死亡的宣稱與重複，反映對生命終結的抗拒與自我安慰的矛盾。
2. 「The black eyes / Already blacken」
黑眼象徵靈魂的腐蝕，暗示信仰崩解後的虛無感，與「Great Black Lines」形成雙重隱喻。
3. 「If you are there / Then I am singing with my eyes」
對神或愛人的呼喚，將視覺與歌聲連結，表達在絕望中仍存的祈禱意志。
適合情境
獨處沉思時、面對生命重大疑問時，或在宗教與理性交鋒的際遇中。
