Identikit Lyrics

(Moon shaped pool isn’t cold
They locked me in, Now I know
I’m never gonna leave
Hold me)

The sweet faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love
That we all can love
That we all

The sweet faced ones with nothing left inside
That we all can love
That we all can love
That we all

But now I see you messing me around
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want

But now I see you messing me around
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know

Broken hearts make it rain


The pieces of a rag doll mankind that we can create
that we can create
that we can
The pieces of a rag doll mankind that we can create
that we can create

But when I see you messing me around
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want
When I see you messing me around
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know

Sweet-faced ones with nothing left inside on tv

Can't wait for a studio version of this, it's awesome.

Anyone else trying to decipher the background vocal? My best guess is .. "A moon shaped pool Is it cold they lock me in now I'm.... alone" Also been pondering the significance of the title" A moon shaped pool" My first impression was being trapped in a circle that is constantly changing ..light and dark..contracting, expanding suits the music pretty well I think

@ottermonster loved that interpretation about the moon shaped pool!

Agree with @ottermonster about the background vocal being "Moon shaped pool, is it cold?" but then later on, like about 1:42 it sounds like it changes to "Moon shaped pool, I won't go"

THE DEFINITIVE HIDDEN BACKGROUND LYRICS ARE - "A moon shaped pool Dancing clothes won't let me in And now I know it's never gonna be oh me"

Anyone knows what Ed O'Brien is singing on the background?

He's singing "Want to see you, and I need to, woah-oh" over and over

Not Valid

I'm pretty sure he's saying "I want to see you and I need to" and he repeats it over and over.

I clearly hear: "Pieces of a wreck no mankind." And is it: can create or can't?

the lyric "sweet faced ones with nothing left inside" popped into my head when I saw the photo of the Highland Park shooter 4 july 2022

I think these are the lyrics at the beginning of the song. A moon-shaped pool, dancing clothes You love and now I know, but hold me, hold me A moon-shaped pool, dancing clothes You love and now I know, but hold me, hold me A moon-shaped pool, dancing clothes You love and now I know, but hold me, hold me

specifically the mug shot photo that was released today. but contrary to that lyric it doesn't look like there's nothing left inside.
