Mellow Tone Lyrics
You're on my fingers you're on my paper
We're close but far; here we are there you are
You're on my weak heart. my heart is tissue
My heart's a scar. here we are there you are
Chorus
----------
You're mellow tone. The stepping stone
To whittle away to get me home
I travel far to bed the floor.
I've come a long way, I've come to miss
your Mellow Tone.
Mellow Tone. Mellow Tone. Mellow Tone.
Where now to begin? This deadend cove...Oh
To feel your warm skin
beneath your clothes, beneath your clothes
Dilate me in your pool,
erase my memory start anew
Hide where no one knows.
beneath your clothes. beneath your clothes.
The zenith hum, the perfect strum
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...
Chorus
The zenith hum, the perfect strum
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...
We're close but far; here we are there you are
You're on my weak heart. my heart is tissue
My heart's a scar. here we are there you are
----------
You're mellow tone. The stepping stone
To whittle away to get me home
I travel far to bed the floor.
I've come a long way, I've come to miss
your Mellow Tone.
To feel your warm skin
beneath your clothes, beneath your clothes
Dilate me in your pool,
erase my memory start anew
Hide where no one knows.
beneath your clothes. beneath your clothes.
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...
I have become completely numb
Tone of your heartbeat, tone of your breathing,
tone of your fingertips
I'm receiving mellow tone...

The person of interest is mentally checked out of the relationship “here we are, there you are” meaning she’s not mentally present when they are together. He doesnt really care either way “I have become completely numb Tone of your heartbeat, Tone of your breathing, Tone of your fingertips I'm receiving mellow tone Your mellow tone”. Their interactions have become boring, he’s bored, she’s bored. He realizes it’s time to end it but he likes the sex, and how she lets him feel her up “This deadend cove, oh To feel your warm skin Beneath your clothes, Beneath your clothes Dilate me in your pool”. “Erase my memory start anew” - he’s ready to start a new relationship with someone else or is ready to start cheating.

Carbon leaf is a great band..the pictures they paint and the emotions they convey by way of their songs are very beautiful..this song to me sounds edgar allan poe picking up a guitar and playing his heart on its strings.
the song itself, to me,is a narrative of someone, a friend or a lover perhaps becoming more aloof and that we also stop being affected by their actions..but in the end we miss that person..
thecolorsblue, that: "this song to me sounds edgar allan poe picking up a guitar and playing his heart on its strings" was beautiful lol i agree!
