Cradle (Better Nature) Lyrics
Someone long gone
Said to stay calm
Keep your head on
If you need love
Hide your cradle
And a headstone
In the watermark
When the sea comes
Help me, swallow up
All of your better nature
Please, can you summon up
All of your better nature
When your mind's off
In a tight knot
Can you feel caught
If you need love
Help me, swallow up
All of your better nature
Please can you summon up
All of your better nature (nature, nature, nature, nature)
Hold on
I think you're wrong
Help me, swallow up
All of your better nature
Please, can you summon up
All of your better nature
Better nature, better nature, better nature, better nature
Better nature, better nature, better nature, better nature
Said to stay calm
Keep your head on
If you need love
And a headstone
In the watermark
When the sea comes
All of your better nature
Please, can you summon up
All of your better nature
In a tight knot
Can you feel caught
If you need love
All of your better nature
Please can you summon up
All of your better nature (nature, nature, nature, nature)
I think you're wrong
All of your better nature
Please, can you summon up
All of your better nature
Better nature, better nature, better nature, better nature

"The song Cradle is the first one we wrote for Better Nature. And i guess that we didnt have a title for the record yet, its indicitive of what ended up being the record... If you're thinking the album has some kind of theme, being tethered to the whole thing, then Cradle is the most direct point of it... Trying to go through all the insane right turns of life and trying to do it with a sort of grace and dignity" Brian Aubert https://soundcloud.com/silversunpickups/brian-meaning-behind-cradle?in=silversunpickups/sets/better-nature-commentary

@lyricfixer I am guessing you are 'pulling' that from the "swallow up" lyrics. The rest of the song sort of deals with themes of a personal struggle to be a better person though.

I feel this song is about waiting for love to come and to just hang on and time will come when it does
