Laughing Hieroglyphic Lyrics

The flies in the dark with their ways of shedding some light now I’ve lost all my day
I think they are very lucky with internal parts like illumined sun rays

It’s so easy to get lost in the mixture
When forces strike hard you wear your layers or you’ll shiver

I didn’t think you were struggling so long
With all of the wild things that we took so young

How it must have wrapped you up and left you hanging upside down
But I was too busy getting lost in the big sound, the big sound

Now I’d trade in all I’ve saved
To fly to those nights and ask how are you mother

If we could have just engaged
I’d have enhanced my weakness in confronting others

But the words are all jumbled and faded
My heart is a nurse but my tongue’s in the blender

Now it’s become something creative
I know it’s not much but just let it right into your gut

And hold me I’ve been sad for days
The light does change its gifts every hours devoured
And same things haunt me
What’s haunting you?

Lately I’ve been seeing beings
They look like they float at the back of my head room
I don’t find it strange when I’m talking to you

Lion in your dreams the lion is good for your dreams except that I am the lion
The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too

And when I get fucked up I do the best to make myself not fucked up again
And my heart and my lungs too
Why can’t I do the same for everyone I love too

How about it’ll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts

Lately I’ve been seeing beings
They look like they float at the back of my head room
I don’t find it strange when I’m talking to you

Lion in your dreams the lion is good for your dreams except that I am the lion
The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too

Love this song. Surprised there's not any comments yet. The sounds caught me from the beginning(especially the strained notes he sings on certain words) but now that I know the lyrics this song's amazing.

Lyrics: The flies in the dark with their ways Of shedding some light, now I've lost all my day I think they are very lucky With internal parts like illumined sun rays

It's so easy to get Lost in the mixture When forces strike hard You wear your layers or you'll shiver

I didn't think you were Struggling so long With all of the wild things That we took so young

How it must have wrapped you up And left you hanging upside-down When I was too busy getting lost in The big sound, the big sound

Now I'd trade in all I'd saved To fly to those nights and ask, "How are you brother?" If we could have just engaged I'd have enhanced my weakness in comforting others

But the words are all jumbled and faded My heart is a nurse, but my tongue's in the blender Now it's become something creative I know it's not much, but just let it right into your gut

And hold me, I've been sad for days The light does change its gifts, every hour's devoured But the same things haunt me, what's haunting you?

Lately I've been seeing beings They look like they float at the back of my headroom I don't find it strange, but I'm talking to you

Lion in your dreams, The lion is good for your dreams, accept the lion The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too

And when I get fucked up, I'll do the best To make myself not fucked up again, my heart and my lungs too Why can't I do the same for everyone I love too?

How about it'll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts

How about it'll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts

Lately I've been seeing beings They look like they float at the back of my headroom I don't find it strange, but I'm talking to you

Lion in your dreams, The lion is good for your dreams, accept the lion The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too

This is my interpretation of the words:

The fires in the dark With their ways of shedding some light Now I've lost all my day

I think they are very lucky With internal parts like a lemon sun rays

It's so easy to get lost in the mixture When forces strike hard You wear your real Throw your shoe

I didn't think you were struggling so long With all of the wild things that we took so young

How it must've wrapped you up and left you hanging upside down But I was too busy getting lost in the big sound

And I traded with all I have saved To fly in those nights And ask "How are you mother?"

If we could have just engaged how to do things My weakness in confronting others

But the words all jumbled and faded My heart is a nurse but my tongue's in the blender

Now it's become something creative I know it's not much but just let it right into your gut

And hold me I've been sad for days The light who change its gifts every hours and hour And the same things haunt me in what's haunting you

Lately I've been seeing things They look like they float at the back of my head room I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you

The lion in your dreams, The lion is good for your dreams Except the lion that I am Would probably try and come and erase you too

And when I get fucked up I do the best to make myself not fucked up again My heart and my lungs do Why can't I do the same for everyone I love too?

I'm flying with you and me and the idea of the ghost I'm flying with you and me and the idea of the ghost

Lately I've been seeing things They look like they float at the back of my head room I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you

The lion in your dreams, The lion is good for your dreams Except the lion that I am Would probably try and come and erase you too

thanks for posting your interp.. i loved singing aimlessley and making my own words and abstract thoughts based on what i could make out.. i wanted to add one lyric to your version that i am extremely sure of.. use it if you like.. maybe you'll enjoy it. i have always thought the "ghost section" went like this..

I love the line when he says "But I was too busy getting lost in the big sound". Most likely referring to his band.

I also love how Avey sings "I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you".

Cover art for Laughing Hieroglyphic lyrics by Avey Tare

Down there Do you know where you are? No I was talking to The other day and he told me that The reason I guess so I was angry It was so strong

The flies in the dark with their ways of shedding some light now I’ve lost all my day I think they are very lucky with internal parts like illumined sun rays

It’s so easy to get lost in the mixture When forces strike hard you wear your layers or you’ll shiver

I didn’t think you were struggling so long With all of the wild things that we took so young

How it must have wrapped you up and left you hanging upside down But I was too busy getting lost in the big sound, the big sound

Now I’d trade in all I’ve saved To fly to those nights and ask how are you mother

If we could have just engaged I’d have enhanced my weakness in confronting others

But the words are all jumbled and faded My heart is a nurse but my tongue’s in the blender

Now it’s become something creative I know it’s not much but just let it right into your gut

And hold me I’ve been sad for days The light does change its gifts every hours devoured And same things haunt me What’s haunting you?

Lately I’ve been seeing beings They look like they float at the back of my head room I don’t find it strange when I’m talking to you

Lion in your dreams the lion is good for your dreams accept the lion The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too

And when I get fucked up I do the best to make myself not fucked up again And my heart and my lungs too Why can’t I do the same for everyone I love too

How about it’ll be you and me and the leader of the ghosts

Lately I’ve been seeing beings They look like they float at the back of my head room I don’t find it strange when I’m talking to you

Lion in your dreams the lion is good for your dreams accept the lion The lion would probably try and come and embrace you too
