Aspidistrafly Lyrics
Dyed in daybreak's light. Sound asleep, curled
Blue bird's first flight, Silent world
Waking from a dream
The sun floods her eyes
To unravel such a scene. Of scarlet splendour
Burnished by Autumn, Trees hued in crimson
Yet the days darken
Now you've gone away
"If I went out... maybe we could find the door to my mother's garden.
If we found the door... we could go inside."

Dyed in daybreak's light. Sound asleep, curled
Blue bird's first flight, Silent world
Waking from a dream
The sun floods her eyes
To unravel such a scene. Of scarlet splendour
Burnished by Autumn, Trees hued in crimson
Yet the days darken
Now you've gone away
"If I went out... maybe we could find the door to my mother's garden.
If we found the door... we could go inside."

Dyed in daybreak's light
Sound asleep, curled
Blue bird's first flight
Silent world
Burnished by Autumn
Trees hued in crimson
Yet the days darken
Now you've gone away
Waking from a dream
The sun floods her eyes
To unravel such a scene
Of scarlet splendour
Burnished by Autumn
Trees hued in crimson
Yet the days darken
Now you've gone away
“If i went out... maybe we could find the door to my mother’s garden”
“If we found the door... we could go inside”

My ears perked up a little at what I heard at 2:25. The kid in the background is saying "If I went out... maybe we could find the door to my mother's garden. If we found the door... we could go inside.". Those line are STRAIGHT from the movie "The Secret Garden"! I love that movie so much. Beautiful movie. Beautiful song.

Not knowing the source of this sample has been driving me crazy lately, thank you!

My partner says this reminds her of our relationship, can't tell if that's good or bad.
Neuro Freak

@Taylor Graham LOL there’s a song by Tomppabeats called “Don’t Leave Me This Way” that samples this song, and at the end of it there’s a girl who says “I don’t love you anymore. goodbye”. Give it a listen
