Serpentine Lyrics

In the middle of nowhere
Thought I heard a sound
Went to seek it out
Track it down

In the middle of nowhere
Broke out in sweat
And I don't know how I got there
All I knew was I was wet

There was no one, nobody there
I was tired and I was scared

Maybe next time I'll know better
Maybe I've learned nothing at all
Nothing at all (x2)

I should have known...(x3)

Cover art for Serpentine lyrics by Yo La Tengo

reminds me of many panic attacks I've had.

Is there more to it? I don't know.

I've noticed indecision is a common theme in a lot of Ira's earlier songs. The refrain "I couldn't decide" in Something To Do. "Where are my decisions made [I'll never know]" in A Shy Dog.

From the title of YLT's latest album I would guess Ira is getting a bit more confident. ;-)
