My Feathers Needed Cleaning Lyrics
I'm taking you down
Into the ground
We're going farther under
To better hear the thunder
If the devil had wings
We'd all marry slaves
And sing the praise
Of all we'd have saved
ne qwi na ta wa na be
na so a ka me a ki
Into the ground
We're going farther under
To better hear the thunder
If the devil had wings
We'd all marry slaves
And sing the praise
Of all we'd have saved
na so a ka me a ki

We're presented with three tracks, grouped under the name "Song of Schizophrenia"
"Hope Called in Sick" begins with a ticking clock and faintly-audible sound collage: suddenly erupting into heavily-distorted guitar.
The latter two songs are more melodic. "My Feathers Needed Cleaning" is the only one with lyrics, in a pleasing melody but oddly lacking in phrasing. The overly-regular delivery and rhythm lack emotion. Imagine hearing a voice. Initially, you may have understood it wasn't real, but (over time) you've come to accept its presence.
An unknown force intends to bury you alive (no matter whether you want it), but assures you it’s for a purpose. Difficult to think of being "taken" deeper underground as anything but a terrifying prospect. No matter how urgent it might seem "to better hear the thunder."
Immediately after, "The Well" begins. The third song’s gorgeous melody—wordlessly vocalized—is accompanied primarily by acoustic guitar.
Taken together? One gets the impression madness is filled with sudden changes: perplexing, terrifying, but occasionally evoking a soothing and unearthly beauty.
