An Eagle in Your Mind Lyrics

"Holts are nearly always close to the sea,
fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs,
all at the top of a [sand crevice?],
high above the sea:
a safe place for cubs.
We wait ... tense. We're disappointed.
She leaves her [sprint?] loaded by others of us
The holts are evenly [spent?], about 500 meters apart,
[some warped speech] who passes by, or they (advertise?)"

the "I love you" part is really creepy

Cover art for An Eagle in Your Mind lyrics by Boards of Canada

the eagle in your mind can be interpreted as a freedom of thought, or the importance of your inner world. Personally I always interpreted this tune with a paraplegic who could only live inside his head, his memories. and the i love you part sounds like what the humanity would like to hear from jesus.

"Holts are nearly always close to the sea. Fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs, all at the top of a sand edifice high above the sea; a safe place for cubs. We wait ... tense; We're disappointed. She leaves her sprint loaded by the others of us. The holts are evenly spent about 500 meters apart; Only enough to fool the passerby (or so they advertise).

I love you."

I found this lyrics by watching the video at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf66Lmrqk00 As for the song meaning, I haven't the slightest clue but I do enjoy listening to it.

Happy Cycling is the best track off of MHTRTC, but this one is second.

Good job deciphering these impossible lyrics. But I don't see any sign of the most beautiful line in the song... At 2:52, you pathetically hear the man cry, "....I love you....!"

Cover art for An Eagle in Your Mind lyrics by Boards of Canada

god, those would be hard to decipher. i still dont hear the last line, except for the word advertise

Cover art for An Eagle in Your Mind lyrics by Boards of Canada

It does sound like 'spent', but wouldnt 'spaced' make more sense? The holts are evenly spaced, about 500 meters apart. and one time listening to it, 'advertise' sounded like 'habitat', again that would make more sense. Don't know if thats correct though. Anyone have any opinions on the meaning or purpose of this song? im curious..

I think [sprint] is "spirit" and [spent] is "split"
