Lyrics
Holocene
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Brace yourself
You feel nothing
But you see
Your limbs are black and frozen
A swell of ice
Descends from the north
Caps the land
Old thoughts under the surface
Lift me up
Into the stratosphere
It's cold
And breathing becomes a challenge
I'm floating high (high)
Bird's eye perspective
Sets you free
Now let me take my distance
We are alone
So save your sentimental considerations
For the moment when it hits
No hideout, no safe retreat
We are alone
So save your sentimental considerations
For the moment when it hits
No hideout, no safe retreat
You feel so disconnected, and yes, I get it
But there is just no point in further confrontation
Dysfunctional communication skills
You undermine our mutual
Resolution strategy
With your condescending patronizing
Habitus of false modesty
Lift me up
Into the stratosphere
It's cold
And breathing becomes a challenge
I'm floating high
Bird's eye perspective
Sets you free
Now let me take my distance
