Ponytail Lyrics
When my soul starts growing
I get so hungry
And I wish it never never would stop growing
When my soul starts growing
I can't feel so full
And I wish it never would stop growing
When my soul starts knowing
I am as I'd want to be
And I know I never will stop caring
I get so hungry
And I wish it never never would stop growing
I can't feel so full
And I wish it never would stop growing
I am as I'd want to be
And I know I never will stop caring

i feel like this song is about how he doesn't ever want to feel like he has experienced all feelings. He doesn't ever want his mind to settle down, and become set in stone. He forever wants to grow, and change, and care.
I agree. Aristotle believed that happiness is an activity, that it is in the doing and not the getting. We chase the sun knowing it will always set just over the horizon and we would never want it any other way.

he wants his soul to get so "long" he has to put it into a ponytail?
i love how the bass sounds like a steady heartbeat in the womb.
before i checked the lyrics, i always thought he was saying "son" instead of "soul", and that he was speaking from a pregnant woman's perspective. it just sounded so warm and caring when he talks about getting so hungry, but never wanting it to stop growing. also, the heartbeat bass like spottedots mentioned kind of added to that. but of course, panda bear isn't saying "son", he's saying "soul", which probably makes a whole lot more sense. i just like to pretend it's "son" sometimes.
i like that

I think the last word is 'dreaming' not 'caring'.
you're right, it does sound like "dreaming"
you're right, it does sound like "dreaming"
this song makes me think about heaven/
when our souls grow we need life (god) to fill them. and in the eternal state we never will stop growing...
"man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that comes out of the mouth of god." so true... wow
Shut the hell up, that doesn't even relate to the song haha

reminds me of babies.
Not sure why, but this song makes me cry.
this is the perfect end to a near-perfect album, and i think it would also be the perfect song to be playing over the end credits of a quiet little indie film.
