Lyrics
Cycladic, Minoan, Mycenaean
The Aegeans will show you incredible things.
Cycladelic figurines
Schilleman saw them and he thought
Oh my god they don’t have a face, fertility, and negative space
There were few men
Mostly women ayeee
Harvester vase expressed emotion, shows the common maaaaan
Overlapping figurines,
Showed anatomy
Profile view, now lets move on
Leaping Bull a fresco
pinched wastes, how minoan
twisted perspective, the females have lighter skin
They were inspired by the ocean
And they lived on Crete
Earthquakes and tsunamis
Ravaged their society
Repousse is the hammering of metal
Done from the back
Cause you know they lived in citadels
But lived off the sea
Don’t forget about Knossos
They had a water system
Supply, drainage, and waste
And tapered columns
King Minos built a labyrinth
They told him he was insane
But it was a palace baby,
with a megaron
Lion’s gate
Citadel at Tyrons
Is made of limestone and granite
Post and lintel system make
Up the arch’s structure
The lions protect from enemies
Corbelled arch
Cyclopean masonry
Oh stone
Sea life, colors, abstract lines
Makes up Kamares Pottery
Fishes, octopus, water
All fit around the pottery
oh my god Aegean Art
I think were almost done but let’s see
you’ll relisten each time you leave
Cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed as a daydream
They were inspired by the ocean
And they lived on Crete
Earthquakes and tsunamis
Ravaged their society
Repousse is the hammering of metal
Done from the back
Cause you know they lived in citadel
But lived off the sea
Don’t forget about Knossos
They had a water system
Supply, drainage, and waste
And tapered columns
King Minos built a labyrinth
They told him he was insane
But it was a palace baby,
with a megaron
Oh don’t forget about the Tholos Tomb
Also called a beehive tomb beehive tomb
Oh don’t forget about the Tholos Tomb
Covered in covered in grass and roots
They were inspired by the ocean
And they lived on Crete
Earthquakes and tsunamis
Ravaged their society
Repousse is the hammering of metal
Done from the back
Cause you know they lived in citadels
But lived off the sea
Don’t forget about Knossos
They had a water system
Supply, drainage, and waste
And tapered columns
King Minos built a labyrinth
They told him he was insane
But it was a palace baby,
