Inertia Creeps Lyrics
Recollect me darling raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying I fit nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest dearest
Been there when I'm over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Would you found my irritant's itching
Been here before
Been here forever
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
She comes moving up slowly
Inertia creeps moving up slowly
She comes
There be no sound in my eidertown
Awake I lie in a morning's blue
Room is still my antenna in you
Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero see me stall
I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall
It can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze
See me on all four's
It's been a long time
She comes
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I caught your radio waves
I caught your radio waves
Will you take a string
Say you string me along
Say you string me along
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying I fit nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
See me now with my nearest dearest
Been there when I'm over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Would you found my irritant's itching
Been here before
Been here forever
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
She comes moving up slowly
Inertia creeps moving up slowly
There be no sound in my eidertown
Awake I lie in a morning's blue

Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero see me stall
I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall
It can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze
See me on all four's

Say she comes
Say she comes

In an interview, 3D said that this song is about a destructive relationship where he couldn't bring himself to leave nor could she. I see this, but the song is very sinister and very sexual. I didn't realize how creepy the whole song was until I saw the video, which I think is their best.
:: this has to be the most erotic song on Mezzanine, and it's absolutely amazing. the entire Mezzanine album is amazing ::
I always thought it was about suppression of his femininity or something...like there is a woman personality in his head, hence: "she comes"
but only because i saw the video which is really weird and has a women that looks like a man in it...thats just me though.
I never considered that before, but maybe the tape was of him dressed in drag for a porno, and now he regrets having done it. Like a much, much, much milder verson of A Serbian Film.

Phrogex...I don't know you, and I don't want to judge you, but it is sure hard when you come off like such a BITCH. man! first of all, you say it would be 'dissing' the song to say that it's about sex. WTF?! are you a nun? sex is as worthy a subject as anything else. its true that it is not the only subject, and the destructive relationship story fits well with lines like 'it could be sweet though incomplete though' but DAMN! you say most of the song has nothing to do with sex...how about lines like:
Recollect me darling raise me to your lips Two undernourished egos four rotating hips Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale Can't endure then you can't inhale
She's moving up slowly
She comes
She comes
She comes
She comes
She comes moving up slowly
She comes
Room is still my antenna in you Nylon burns the bedspread with two
See me on all four's It's been a long time
She comes She comes I want to x you She comes I want to x you She comes
Inertia creeps and she comes Say she comes Say she comes Say she comes Say she comes
And if you want to argue that these all have some other meaning, well there are things called 'double entendres' a french expression for stuff that means TWO things! SYMBOLISM! and nobody said he was horny when he wrote it! it's not required that you're horny when you write a song that features sex. I realize that I'm ranting a bit. I apologize. I also realize that dear 'Phrogex' will likely not even see this, as his/her comments are from back in '04... whatever.
peace

The two egos obviously represent the guy and the girl, while four rotating hips suggest that they are having sex (a person has two hip bones, one on each side)
I actually though this way the 'neatest' line in the song.
'back / she comes' (on the singles 90-98 collection) is basically this, with even more sexiness (it seems an impossible feat, but believe me!). del naja's lyrics are both original and insanely erotic, and his voice, just-- oh, that man is a god.
When I heard this for the first time, i thought it was "Alicia Keys is moving up slowly".
In terms of meaning: If you don't think it's about sex, you're retarded.

The word "retarded" is a form of HATE SPEECH. When you use it, you say okay to all forms of hate, and confirmto others that you take enjoyment from the pain of others. Sorry for being off-topic, but those who feel they have the right to prey on those weaker than them, deserve to be ridiculed. Only a monster would use such language, learn bettre vocabulary skills if you don't want to be seen as a monster.

Wow! How funny! I don't even remember posting that. Looking back, I can see how much I've matured since then. Today, I actually agree with you Deadeyeduck. That must have been a phase of mine when I thought anything that dealt with sex was unintelligent and "evil."
Wow, I can completely relate to having a period like that but I've always been conservative when it comes to commenting on the internet.
