Softly Softly Lyrics
Sink in the quicksand
Linked to the branch of a tree
I can't see
Because it's darker than death
And you guys up and left me out here
To freeze
And this forest plays its tricks
So I treat it with respect.
I threw my garbage in a skip, I buttoned up my anorak.
I shuffled soft shoe.
I washed
You could look me in the teeth and comb your hair
Choked by the quicksand, kicked from the branch of this tree
Now, I'm free
Linked to the branch of a tree
I can't see
Because it's darker than death
And you guys up and left me out here
To freeze
So I treat it with respect.
I threw my garbage in a skip, I buttoned up my anorak.
I shuffled soft shoe.
I washed
You could look me in the teeth and comb your hair
Now, I'm free

Painfully beautiful. I wonder if this song could be about somebody going out into nature to kill himself? The way that the word "free" fades out is haunting.
