Lyric discussion by Socodax 

Cover art for Shade lyrics by Portugal. The Man

Just some minor corrections (removal of some unsung words, etc). Great job on getting the lyrics down. Couldn't figure out what they were singing ><

Claims, they crawled from those clouds, over mountains cried into the streams where they ran the length of past and time that called out with their hands beside you as all the people shouted up to the "northern" territories My, they glowed like a bug burning at the ends of shade covered crowns whose only words were wicked mumbles shake unstable manners brought these thoughts about you lights up like flies and ants that dip about and aim to to swallow us up like the bread baked gums

Now I remain glowing at the ends I remain glowing at the ends It's because it's you they've became

Shade drifts around, southern where the sheets are growing ash and steeple factories old boy you'll never know just what they think, it never finds you cheap work finding pockets only when we're aimed to to swallow them up like the bread baked gums

Now I remain glowing at the ends I remain glowing at the ends It's because it's you they've became

These lights were waves that spilled through my space (in the plains) Where no one knows if they'll ever need again (I want to) These lights were waves that spilled through my space (in the plains) Where no one knows if they'll ever need again (I want to) (come and get and take me home)

I can't begin to interpret this.
