In The Rushes Lyrics

Cover art for In The Rushes lyrics by Islands

I know this is going to sound absurd, but I think he's talking about Horton Hears a Who by Dr Suess.

"scared, heard a terrible sound lay down played dead that's when I heard it clearer in the rushes a voice said: you could walk around forever and never notice me a little closer in the rushes hiding down among the reeds"

^ He's just discovered the who.

"a seed I swallowed it digested quick but not enough to not make me sick, I lost it it tasted like a light going off inside my mind"

^ Accidently swallowed Who-ville?

"then I coughed up blood scraped it off my tongue sucked it off my thumb but it was rotten care, to care I knelt down but you weren't there anymore"

^ Talking about killing the who?

And then it turns into a THE WHO song! I know it's a crazy interpretation, but I sort of think I'm right, haha.
