about

This is a true story about someone who gave me "relationship instructions" on a date. Lots of artistic license in the lyrics.

lyrics

You said you were a doctor
You practiced therapies.
You were your biggest patient.
Constantly complete the ladder.
Debarquement, all the way above the earth,
Extending up into the sky
And I’m not sure
What brought me here,
But you’ve made it
Abundantly clear.
The sight of the grey fur.
Instructions on how to get bent.
And so I’m folding this note time and again
And I’m folding this note time and again

To make it out
In blue and black.
To feel strongly about.
Feel strongly about
...but is there anything I don’t?
Is there anything I don’t?

Understand, that this is easy.
And understand, it’s not the whole thing that I want,
But do you give anything?
Can you give anything at all?
And so I’m folding this (your) note, time and again.
And I’m folding this note, time and again,
But is there anything I don’t...
Is there anything I don’t understand?
And is there anything I don’t understand?

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
