Elysium Lyrics

Cover art for Elysium lyrics by Portishead

'Your feathered sacred self'

Is she refering to an Angel maybe? LOL Maybe a reference to someone who probably puts faith into all the fake things in life as bringing their 'ideal' happiness and because her 'ideal' doesn't conform to this, the other person doesn't want to accept it. It could be about a relationship, but to me it could also be about life in general and how her Elysium is different to the majority of people or what people expect it should be. Just a thought.

And it's your heart That's so wrong Mistaken You'll never know Your feathered sacred self

Either way, excellent song by Beth.
