A fast read before the full lyric

A collaboration with Gallant and Eric Nam finds the Epik High rapper in a state of suspended, electric dread.

The image of 'birds on a power line' does a lot of work.

It's precarious and exposed, a place where you're alive but not meant to stay, and the electricity is both a thrill and a threat.

Editor's note

Tablo wants you to cave him in

A collaboration with Gallant and Eric Nam finds the Epik High rapper in a state of suspended, electric dread.

Love's either got you over heels or overdosed

The image of 'birds on a power line' does a lot of work. It's precarious and exposed, a place where you're alive but not meant to stay, and the electricity is both a thrill and a threat. That's the whole song right there.

The plea 'Baby, I want you to cave me in' is a surrender. He's asking to be buried under the feeling, to have the choice taken away so he won't 'have to admit it' or 'ask to forget it.' It's less about romance and more about needing an external force to stop the internal noise.

It flips a cliché into something darker and more literal in one breath, framing love as a potentially lethal dose.

The way the phrase 'entropy multiplies' sits in the verse, a cold scientific term for the chaos he feels building.

You got me feeling like

Ooh

You get me lifted like

Let's go

These flies on my window are winners in a losing game

Dip, duck, roll, and hover

They barely see a season change

While you and me live like birds on a power line

Hands gripping, and our fingers fried

God bless those Northern lights

And our own devices, babe

Entropy multiplies

Clock's ticking and I'm mortified

'Cause in the back of my mind

In the back of my hemisphere

Baby, I want you to cave me in

So maybe I won't have to admit it

Baby, I want you to cave me in

So maybe I won't ask to forget it

Love's either got you over heels or overdosed

It's got you off your feet or on your toes

It's got you out your seat or in your place

It's got you digging it or your grave

Love's got you mad about or just about mad

It's got you in a crush or it's got you in a crash

What used to make your heart sing a hit, sing a smash

Will make you want to hit, wanna smash

Everything that you had into pieces

But love becomes clear when in pieces

What you couldn't see and hear during peace is

Why a heart becomes years into pieces

Yeah

Gravity makes wonders

But it also doesn't seem to wait

Float like clouds on water

Or waves across an open plane

'Cause you and me live like birds on a power line

Hands slipping and our fingers fried

God bless those Northern lights

And our own devices, babe

Entropy multiplies

Clocks ticking and I'm mortified

'Cause in the back of my mind

In the back of my hemisphere

Baby, I want you to cave me in

So, baby, I won't have to admit it

Baby, I want you to cave me in

So maybe I won't ask to forget it

I want it, I do

(Girl, cave me in, I won't say it again, I want you)

I want it, I do

I want it, I do, do, do, do

(Girl, cave me in, I won't say it again, I want you)

I want it, I do

(Girl, cave me in, I won't say it again, I want you)

I want it, I do

I want it, I do, do, do, do

(Just cave me in)

Ooh yeah I, ooh yeah, I do
