Or, in the vast list of useful definitions of the English word of,
there just might exist a connotation utilized in early vernacular English
poetry (vernacular being our key word, as amherst aspires very much to be a
mouth of the masses) that makes the term a substitution for the more common
term, about.

In their defense, this makes much more sense as it explains that the
narrator needs the strength to reverse revolutions about or around the sun.
The following hopeful utterance "To step back a year at a time and revoke
all the things I've done..." better clarifies this idea.

Another way to perceive the used terminology as accurate is to insert the
term OUR in its assumed lyrical crevasse; I.E. "What I need is the
strength to reverse our revolutions of the sun." OUR revolutions of,
or about, or around for that matter, the sun.

Some would agree that you could also consider removing my junk from your
mouth so it's not in the way and you can commence with lowering your nose to
the same altitude as everyone else for a moment to breathe our shitty air.
In other words, you could cease my fucking of your face, for the sake
of consistensy. I could spend fifteen minutes researching random
contributors to a subject to prove a point as well as the next guy, but I'd
much prefer playing with my grammar during the editing process of lyrical
composition to inspire comments like these.

Just throwing out ideas. Marinade on them a little if you'd like!

i am going to reply to this by saying call me or talk to me in person about this if it is truly a problem. get my number from anybody else in the band. it is disturbing that on sunday we acted like best friends but i wake up to find this, an obvious attempt at a "shirt" that is totally uncalled for, and, dare i say, childish. i'm not one for starting shit or whatever, i just like some mild elbow prodding. the post was for entertainment purposes only.
