Q&A
It Fit When I Was a Kid Lyrics
Deep
At the end of space,
Further than the Sun
Is a crowd of chairs.
Way out
On a crystal sea,
protecting you and me,
is a battleship.
I...
I had my eyebrow
Into a question.
Who is this captain,
And where do his friends live?
We were walking in the snow
Down the street from your front door,
I jumped a neighbor's fence at dawn,
Danced my way across your lawn,
Used a diamond on the glass,
Slithered slowly through the dark,
Made my way up o'er your stairs,
Crystals flying everywhere.
I...
I...
We will
Drive you in the boot
Through the crooked past
To your resting place.
We will leave you in the woods,
Tell your friends you slipped,
Down the Lumen Tree.
If you're
Seen there,
Blooming
Inside
Each time I
Hope that
Talking
Improves
I will
remember
You...
You...(In June?)
Follow lonely crowds as clouds will come.
Follow lonely crowds as clouds...
Follow lonely crowds as clouds will come.
Follow lonely crowds as clouds will come.
At the end of space,
Further than the Sun
Is a crowd of chairs.
Way out
On a crystal sea,
protecting you and me,
is a battleship.
I...
Into a question.
Who is this captain,
And where do his friends live?
Down the street from your front door,
I jumped a neighbor's fence at dawn,
Danced my way across your lawn,
Used a diamond on the glass,
Slithered slowly through the dark,
Made my way up o'er your stairs,
Crystals flying everywhere.
I...
Drive you in the boot
Through the crooked past
To your resting place.
We will leave you in the woods,
Tell your friends you slipped,
Down the Lumen Tree.
Seen there,
Blooming
Inside
Hope that
Talking
Improves
remember
You...
You...(In June?)
Follow lonely crowds as clouds...
Follow lonely crowds as clouds will come.
Follow lonely crowds as clouds will come.

'It Fit When I Was A Kid' as in, a personality and attitude to life that worked for him when he was younger but now he's outgrown it and feels lost, stuck "following lonely crowds"

I always thought this song was about SA (like saying the SA’ers yk fit when they were a kid) and that’s how I always took it bc I’m a victim of SA :/
Is it just me, or are Liars like 50% Animal Collective and 50% Mezzanine era Massive Attack in this song? They are VERY odd.
that's a good analysis. I am surprised by the poetry of it. I also thought he was talking about the Bristol sea. But that would be stupid. (If a little poignant to the Massive Attack comment).
what's a lumen tree you ask? The Lumen Tree is an oil lamp shadow projector that will project the image from an acid-etched, stainless steel tree onto a wall when placed on a shelf or mantelpiece. Created by inventor and artist Adam Frank - http://mocoloco.com/archives/001673.php
haha, this song is so awesome, i love it, i just wish they'd drag out their ideas for longer, they could make three songs out of this song alone
i think it's 'i aim my eyebrow in to a question.'
at least that's what it says in illegible writing in the album booklet.
has anyone ever heard the crystal castles remix? it's incredible. i almost like it better than the original!
Man it's hard to interpret, but I love this song, it's so haunting, especially the part that goes:
"We were walking in the snow Down the street from your front door, I jumped a neighbor's fence at dawn, Danced my way across your lawn, Used a diamond on the glass, Slithered slowly through the dark, Made my way up o'er your stairs, Crystals flying everywhere."
I love this song, but i think the ending sounds more like "Follow lonely crowds (those) clouds will come." just sayin'!:)
