Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds
With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side
I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide
So I reached up to touch but they faded too soo
Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon
How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight
original concept here...
ive known about this song for mayyyyybe two. three years? it is probably one of my favorite songs in dan deacon's discography. youtube fucking sucks sometimes but they did me one good by recommending adult swim's animated video of the piece. its pretty special
and it can be interpreted in a lot of different ways, i personally see the song as some sort of reincarnation story. this specific piece reflects the lines i interpret as aurora being spectated by the singer, but like, it can be taken in a different way thats not so literal.
mainly i just like experimenting and this piece helped me figure out how to emulate aurora on csp :0
When I was done dying, my conscience regained
So I began my struggle, a nothingness strained
Out a flash made of time, my new form blasted out
And it startled me so and I burst out a shout
At which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest
And I ran until drained, leaving no choice but rest
So I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone in deeper but I'm not so brave
And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky
And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die
As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt
How my skin did explode, leaving only my shirt
But from shirt grew a tree and then tree grew a fruit
And I became the seed and that seed was a brute
And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves
And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves
And they laughed out at me and said "what is your plan?"
But their question was foreign, I could not understand
When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed into a mouth
And it swallowed me down at which time I head south
--And the earth looked at me and said "wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone."
And without even thinking cast me into space
But before she did that she wiped off my own face
She said “better luck next time don't worry so much”
Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
