Pendulous Skin Lyrics

Yeah
Float away

Known so low
You run away
Desolate us
Desolate all

No love is lost
You know we're weightless
Climb
Under my wing
Climb

Known so low
You run away
Desolate us
Desolate all

No love is lost
You know we're weightless
Climb
Under my wing
Climb

Known so low
You run away
Desolate us
Desolate all

Grown so slow
You run away
Desolate us
I'm sailing away

The curse has been removed, it seems the main character the wolf becomes a dog and maybe taken in by people.

Someone needs to find out what they're saying on this incredible song.

probably my favorite on Blood Mountain

The way it just tumbles into this freeflow of amazing melodic tones

Cover art for Pendulous Skin lyrics by Mastodon

i think at some point they say "on my back now..." or "on my way home noww..." i cant remember, also something about children I WISH I KNEW

i guess its supposed to be a tribute to joseph merrick but also i think it wraps up the blood mountain story. I think that the character reaches the top of the mountain. puts the crystal skull in the hands of that moosey "three horned face" at the top and then i think he dies happy and relieved of his burden. Siberian Divide ends with the character determined to make it to the top and i think the overall tone of pendulous skin is of having a great weight lifted off of you.

There's a hidden track?

Strange. I don't get anything in the extra 15 minutes or so of empty air on the track after the song ends.

I must investigate! -dons Sherlock Holmes hat and stares at CD-

It´s the voice of a guy, you have to turn the volume up high, when he laughs, i was so nervous... I listen something like this on some parts "lots of load", "children wings", "now that you´re long gone i want my wings back", "fly.. light?"... I don´t know

Anyway, i totally love this song its BEAUTIFUL, but people who i've told to hear it don't really get it...

Cover art for Pendulous Skin lyrics by Mastodon

My imagination plays tricks on me and makes me hear lots of they clearly dont say like:

I'm weightless I'm serious No love is lost You run, we fall You're holding me I went on my way Pray Lost all hope You run away I'm satisfied

Make any sense? (to anyone NOT under the influence)

I think this song is supposed to project the carrier dying. The song is very.,, atmospheric? Like a vision. He is lying in the snow, life drains away out of his body. At 1:18 I hear something about "children away" - maybe a part of his vision is about his children, he sees them before he dies. around 1:30 Its close to "was a angel" around 1:36 it is "I Love you know that.. " and "Im on my way back.." 1:50 "fly/slide all away, life/fly"
then " (..) as snow" and again "children awake"

hope it helped:)
