It appears in more than one music....what does it means in each one of then....

It would help if you mentioned the songs to which you are referring.

I would burn you if you should die

I know it appears in My Death, which Bowie did not write (but sang beautifully), Jacques Brel wrote it. I don't recall another song with the same lyric, though? Do tell.

Zigbot

the other one is :
sons of oblivion
(the bewley brothers)

Well, "sails of oblivion" and "sons of oblivion" aren't exactly the same thing, but I betcha David knew of Brel's My Death when he wrote The Bewley Brothers, and kinda cribbed that phrase.

Zigbot

Oh, and one more thing, it's "kings of oblivion" in Bewley Brothers, and I think it just means that the "brothers" felt all-powerful, invincible. Don't recall the My Death lyric well enough to comment on "sails of oblivion."

Zigbot

Just a small note to Liszt:
Eu sou capaz de ler esse texto...

Stand and Be True

Brel's lyrics:
La mort m'attend dans un grand lit
Tendu aux toiles de l'oubli
Pour mieux fermer le temps qui passe

Bowie's lyrics are those of a very liberal translation

as a mast holds up sails his erection holding up the sheet?
