you know I’m never gonna be enough to get
to where I hoped I’d end up eventually
I’ll be spinning through the sky without an end
and be lighter than the air but until then
breathing is the easiest of my tasks
I get that feeling every time
after losing my compound
now push me down to soothe the sound
I feel it every time
the pool is a swirl the sky is my home
oh I’ve seen all the places here
so don’t tell me to adapt to this life
the pool
encloses me like a womb
where I reflect
but context’s always lost in somersaults
if I was lighter than the air oh I’d emerge
no longer hiding from their stares
you got me dreaming of the time
when I’m lighter than the air
and I’ll escape the turquoise tiles
because I feel every time
the pool is a swirl the sky is my home
oh I’ve seen all the places here
so don’t tell me to adapt to this life

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
