Laughing Hieroglyphic Lyrics

Cover art for Laughing Hieroglyphic lyrics by Avey Tare

This is my interpretation of the words:

The fires in the dark With their ways of shedding some light Now I've lost all my day

I think they are very lucky With internal parts like a lemon sun rays

It's so easy to get lost in the mixture When forces strike hard You wear your real Throw your shoe

I didn't think you were struggling so long With all of the wild things that we took so young

How it must've wrapped you up and left you hanging upside down But I was too busy getting lost in the big sound

And I traded with all I have saved To fly in those nights And ask "How are you mother?"

If we could have just engaged how to do things My weakness in confronting others

But the words all jumbled and faded My heart is a nurse but my tongue's in the blender

Now it's become something creative I know it's not much but just let it right into your gut

And hold me I've been sad for days The light who change its gifts every hours and hour And the same things haunt me in what's haunting you

Lately I've been seeing things They look like they float at the back of my head room I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you

The lion in your dreams, The lion is good for your dreams Except the lion that I am Would probably try and come and erase you too

And when I get fucked up I do the best to make myself not fucked up again My heart and my lungs do Why can't I do the same for everyone I love too?

I'm flying with you and me and the idea of the ghost I'm flying with you and me and the idea of the ghost

Lately I've been seeing things They look like they float at the back of my head room I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you

The lion in your dreams, The lion is good for your dreams Except the lion that I am Would probably try and come and erase you too

thanks for posting your interp.. i loved singing aimlessley and making my own words and abstract thoughts based on what i could make out.. i wanted to add one lyric to your version that i am extremely sure of.. use it if you like.. maybe you'll enjoy it. i have always thought the "ghost section" went like this..

i'm flying with you and me and a million other ghosts.
