about

This song is about baby bats and the dangers of falling off of the cave ceiling and becoming vulnerable on the cave floor because they don't walk well.

lyrics

When you fly the distance,
laughing at the world,
you remember nothing
there's nothing to be heard.
When you're on the coast
rabid in the sunlight
on the grid, aloud
and laughing at the ground.
When you heard the dirt
is rife with chiroptera
there's no one on the world...

You're polarizing,
all the people think you're blinding,
blinding, now.

When you're in the distance,
the clicking in the ear,
to set reverberations,
to mechanize the fear.
Will I wind you up
and set you in the air?
And you just swim across the eddies,
to occupy with gears.

The way you slide across the floor,
your legs are folding chairs.
You're made of things that join.
Your broken footsteps to the wall.
You're bathed in clarity,
Forever. Everything.
Just waiting for the fall...

Watershed
by The Silence Kit

Aggressive when necessary, but showing a control and self-awareness often missed in music that allows the song to penetrate to a more personal level for the listener. The Azure Sea
