I Got Lyrics

In the night, where I live
There’s a strange force, in your kids Oh
All’s divine in desire
With an ire of philosophy
Burning scrolls in the naked heat
Oh how coy, is your little boy

Because I know, he don’t read that well

I got (I got)
Buried (Buried)
And it won’t be long before I rise in
I got (I got)
Buried (Buried)
And it won’t be long, yeah

In the night, where I live
Your children sway, they fuel the kitsch
Raise their glass to Soviet crimes in the war
And in shadows,
I write, in tongues of old
Fumes of fallen, smell and burn like always, always

Because I know, he don’t read that well
And I know, only time will tell me

I got (I got)
Buried (Buried)
No it won’t be long, before I rise in
I got (I got)
Buried (Buried)
No it won’t be long, before I rise in song

And I know, he don’t read that well, yeah

I got (I got)
Buried (Buried)
No it won’t be long, before I rise in
I got (I got)
Buried (Buried)
Oh no, because I know, I’ve got you

This is the kind of song where the melody and his voice pluck the heart strings, regardless of what they're singing about.

What music and love is all about. Life kicks your ass and you get "buried" - but you recover with the help of music, "rise in song", and love "I got you".

The "Soviet cries" could refer to a guy in rehab with the TV blaring CNN warning about how bad the world outside can be. Kitch is slang for throwing up.

Nice tune - well constructed with a kaleidoscope of influences.

My Interpretation

My Opinion

Byt the way. I believe the band itself wrote the song not "Geer and Shaine" as mentioned above. That is another song (with the same name) from another band called Hed PE.

"Your children sway they fuel the kitch, Raise their glass to Soviet cries in the ward,"

This is a little random: Kitch is not a very common word to use, and you don't really talk about Soviet very much either. One of my favorite singers, Regina Spektor, has an album called Soviet Kitch. Sort of weird because I was just listening to that album earlier...

I Love this song but for the longest time I thought he was saying, I got married instead of buried, which still is good, but I can totally see someone changing the lyrics to married and it being really cute haha
