Crawled Out Of The Sea (Interlude) Lyrics
Oh, you crawled out of the sea,
straight into my arms,
straight into my arms...
straight into my arms,
straight into my arms...

I took it as the Atheist counterpart to the general lyric of "You fell from the stars, straight into my arms." Also worth mentioning the lyrics by her then beau, the Fink gent from noah and the whale, "if you don't believe in god, how can you believe in love?, when were all just matter, that will one day scatter, until peaceful, the world lays us down." Just a thought. Pretty song. Both of them are in fact.
That makes a lot of sense! I'd say that's exactly right.

This song is so lovely, and I agree, simplicity. I think it's about evolution, if that makes sense, when creatures began to crawl out of the sea. It's as if this person she sings about was, not "created for her", but since the beginning of everything they were just meant to be. It sounds cheesy, but then that's why Laura Marling phrased it differently :p
this song haunts me, but i really love it.
This is a great song.
I'm surprised I like this song. There's something amazing about it which I can't quite put my finger on. I think it's beauty, is it's simplicity.
Love this one.
this song is about being made for each other and is very nice sentiment at least that i get from it
I think that it's significant that this follows "Cross Your Fingers". In "Cross Your Fingers", she says "on my word you'll give up your whole life for me and you'll be reborn, bigger and stronger", so in "Crawled Out of the Sea", to say that this person "crawled out of the sea" straight into her arms refers to how she made the person become reborn for her sake. Him emerging "bigger and stronger" follows the theme of evolution as well.
i can't place it but i'm sure the music to this is from another song something from the 60s maybe. the drums especially!
thought the lyrics went something like: "are you crying... over me, over me..."
gives me chills everytime i hear this song.
the first time i listened to this it reminded me of The Little Mermaid. but not the watered down disney crap. the actual somber story. but now that i read the other comments, the idea with the evolution makes perfect sense. i love it.
