The Inuit Promise Lyrics
i took a worn out strand of your cellophane hair and stretched it sideways
and though my mind slipped though between the sea and me
my brains stopped working from the cold
i sort of strayed from what we know
so i'll be like you and do what's right
and win a love i don't deserve out on the ice tonight
teach me the bluest song you know.
the moon ain't comin' up,
and I swear to god tonight it feels like snow.
i'm glad we got your hands warm so my arms can feel like trust again,
i can promise true waves when the summer comes
the world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
maybe catch a new wave
feels like
it feels right
so we ride whales and drag race time
and i fill fires from the traces of trilobite hives
you sleep like god inside her womb
and you see clearly too
the silicon wasteland they left inside my mind
glad we got your hands warm
so my arms can feel like trust again
i can promise true waves when the summer comes
the world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
maybe catch a new wave
we lost the road now
inject the charms
and we care for all of ours
we stand, froze now
transfer alarms
just like the Inuit with the promise song
to come down and see
to come down and see
to come down and see
come down and see
and though my mind slipped though between the sea and me
my brains stopped working from the cold
i sort of strayed from what we know
so i'll be like you and do what's right
and win a love i don't deserve out on the ice tonight
teach me the bluest song you know.
the moon ain't comin' up,
and I swear to god tonight it feels like snow.
i can promise true waves when the summer comes
the world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
maybe catch a new wave
feels like
it feels right
and i fill fires from the traces of trilobite hives
you sleep like god inside her womb
and you see clearly too
the silicon wasteland they left inside my mind
so my arms can feel like trust again
i can promise true waves when the summer comes
the world still fits the same form we engraved when it all began
maybe catch a new wave
inject the charms
and we care for all of ours
transfer alarms
just like the Inuit with the promise song
to come down and see
to come down and see
to come down and see
come down and see
The rest of the song is missing. At the end when "come down and see" is repeated, the following is what is being sung in the background:
Your solvents frozen here on the petal rung is all we have to see enlarged inside as we espy the warming sea. Your breath diffused and never realized aside from where the panicked hide and I just a subtle lift provider on the other side
First of all, Inuit is defined as people living in an Artic Region. I see this as relating the everyday life to the lifestyle of someone living extended periods in the dark. He is seeing the world as a dark place the the momentary laps of warmth/light of a person that he cares for.
