I have decided to share my findings regarding stanzas 3-5 over the next few days and hopefully some of you can fill in the blanks. If you do, hats off to you!
Since this is just for fun I have decided to give these thread titles with names of Agatha Christie novels featuring Hercule Poirot. Today I will talk about stanza 5 and I have decided to dedicate this thread to the novel 'Cards on the table'.
Ok, lets all gather around in a circle and I will explain what i THINK Lukas had in mind with this stanza. I might be wrong but at least this is a shot at it. My format is as follows. Next to the stanza I will list options for what I think the stanza is telling us. This might be one or more options as I have yet to narrow things down. I then put a line from the stanza followed by some explanations as to what I think is going on (lines starting with "-"). Stanza 3 and 4 will be discussed in separate threads in the upcoming days.
Stanza 5: Keys/Key/US-1/Overseas highway
============================
The last part is a tricky one
- The overseas highway (US-1) in Florida is dangerous and tricky (a tricky ONE) to drive so you have to be extra careful.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_Highway
So play it carefully:
- Music to follow;
Explode, the strongest wind
- C4 (explosive), F5 tornado. Both are keys on a piano
No sea legs here, a song by D.D.E.
- Florida Keys are connected to land (no sea legs) and is the end of the Overseas highway (US-1 in southern Florida)
- D.D.E is Daniel Decatur Emmet and he wrote a song called Dixie.
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Emmett
- Dixie highway is where Overseas highway starts in the north.
What do you think? Comments are welcome!
