I know this is childish, but I swear to god I thought he was saying "Drag me back, lick my balls".

Pick me up, dust me off
Give me breath, and let me cough
Drag me back, collect my thoughts
I've come back to the land I'd lost
The palms are down, I'm welcomed back to town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes I think they're all just speaking tongues
Tell me all the things I've missed
Who's been killed and who's been kissed
(Drag me back, collect my thoughts)
I'll be gone when the drugs wear off
The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes you'd think they spoke another language
The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes I think they're all just speaking tongues
They say I'm the only one, who can be brave
That I am the chosen one
But there's no way, that I am the only one
And there's no one to save
If there's nowhere for them to run
The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes you'd think they spoke another language
The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes I think
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
Give me breath, and let me cough
Drag me back, collect my thoughts
I've come back to the land I'd lost
The palms are down, I'm welcomed back to town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes I think they're all just speaking tongues

Who's been killed and who's been kissed

They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues

0General CommentThis song is really clever. It starts out with a kick drum that sounds like the hard-to-integrate, free kicks on Fruity Loops, then the second layer starts and blends the kick perfectly. Then the other layers are added sequentially to produce an (unexpectedly) cohesive sound. Your first impression of the song is effectively flipped on it's head- the composition is a juxtapose to the initial expectation. Also, the lyrics- they kinda speak as if from an Aspergian perspective- where the world doesn't make sense, the speaker is kinda lost in the constructs of society and is only integrated briefly (until "the drugs wear off"). So the melodic composition itself is a reflection of this sense of being misunderstood and misjudged. Whether or not that was the intention, it is brilliance to me.BriNK_4ceon June 06, 2017 Link
