Sea Of Teeth Lyrics
Can you feel the wind of Venus on your skin?
Can you taste the crush of a sunset's dying blush?
Stars will always hand in summer's bleeding veils
Can you feel the rings of Saturn on your finger?
Can you taste the ghosts who shed their creaking hosts?
But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil
Stars will always hang in summer's bleeding fang
But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil
Can you taste the crush of a sunset's dying blush?
Stars will always hand in summer's bleeding veils
Can you taste the ghosts who shed their creaking hosts?
But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil
But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil

I think it's "stars will always hang/in summers bleeding fang." Pretty sure, in fact.
To me this song is about the nature of our existence as humans... All the questions that it poses can only be answered with "No". You can't feel the wind of Venus, or taste the sunset. They're all far-off, intangible things that we are very limited in experiencing. But in the meantime, everything that's going on around us will keep on going, "trees will turn to soil" whether we're around or not. It's about how limited our experiences are, in such a vast universe that we're not really that large a part of.
It's absolutely amazing and one of my favourite songs ever.
Art is what you make it to be right? That being said, to me this song asks the burning questions about death. It's like he's talking to someone who has died. Are you in space? Are you with ghosts who shed their creaking hosts? And even though we all go somewhere, or to oblivion, the earth keeps going with the trees returning to soil for the next generation. Probably way off the mark but to me it's not and that is art...and what a great artist Linkous is.
I just Love this song!

I agree definitely, it is like if Mark is singing and asking cool questions to a ghost, now he is a ghost, feel like I ask him those questions whenever I listen to this song.

This is seriously one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
Beautiful song. Incredible. Too good for complete sentences.
amazing. i dont know what to say about it.
Remarkable.
To me it's just about the beauty that we all take for granted sometimes. It's always there, but we rarely notice it.
Stars will always (hang), in summmer's bleeding (vein).
Sublime.
