Somberly, somberly
Linger, lie longerly
Grateful our cold memories cry
For the plentiful times that, that
Her eagerly death hath had
Counter intuitive underride
Clean thy sparkling teeth
Brush down thy sparkling sides
That thy nervous blood would become undone
From impedious pounding ideas

Some shattering fawn for this candented dawn
Pluck up their worm holes and give them
To feeders that spirits be freer and freer

And broil and toil and foil thy scalloped breastbone
Roll and toll and fold the long winters in it
Think not what the season'll become
Reap fruitfully of the gardendom
That grew masterfully over your withering son

Beat out them bed bugs
Stand when you do it
Beat out them bed bugs
Stand when you do it

Some shattering fawn for this candented dawn
Pluck up their worm holes and give them
To feeders that spirits be freer
Some shattering fawn for this candented dawn
Pluck up their worm holes and give them
To feeders that spirits be freer and freer and freer and

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Amenamy" are quite cryptic, but they seem to touch on themes of death, memory, and decay. The opening lines "Somberly, somberly / Linger, lie longerly" set a melancholy tone, which is then followed by a rumination on the idea of "cold memories" that provoke tears, perhaps in a somber remembrance of someone who has passed away. The lines "Clean thy sparkling teeth / Brush down thy sparkling sides" suggest a sense of cleanliness or purification, though it's not clear what this is in service of.

The lyrics become increasingly abstract in the later verses, with lines like "Counter intuitive underride" and "From impedious pounding ideas" offering little in the way of meaning, but painting a picture of confusion or disorientation. The repeated refrain of "Some shattering fawn for this candented dawn" seems to suggest a glimmer of hope or renewal amidst the song's overall sense of loss and decay.

Somberly, somberly linger lie long early
Grateful our cold memories bide
For the plentiful times that,
That her eagerly death had had
Counter intuitive thunder ride

Clean my sparkling teeth
Brush down my sparkling sides
Thy nervous blood will become undone
From impiety as pounding ideas

Some shattering find for this candor to die
Plug up your wormholes and give them,
To feeders and spirits be freer
Some shattering find for this candor to die
Plug up your wormholes and give them,
To feeders and spirits be freer
And freer and broil and toil and foil dies
Scallop the breastbone,
Roll in toll and grow old the long winter in it
Think not what the season will become
Breathe truthfully at the garden glen,
That grew masterfully over your withering son

Beat open bed bugs,
Stand when you do it
Beat open bed bugs,
Stand when you do it

Some shattering find for this candor to die
Plug up your wormholes and give them,
To feeders and spirits be freer
Some shattering find for this candor to die
Plug up your wormholes and give them,
To feeders and spirits be freer
And freer and freer and...

[Verse 1]
Somberly, somberly
Linger, lie longer-ly
Grateful our cold memories cry
For the plentiful times that, that
Her eagerly death hath had
Counter intuitive underride
Clean thy sparkling teeth
Brush down thy sparkling sides
That thy nervous blood
Would become undone from
Impedious pounding ideas

Some shattering fawn
For this candented dawn
Pluck up their worm holes and give them
To feeders that spirits be freer
Some shattering fawn
For this candented dawn
Pluck up their worm holes and give them
To feeders that spirits be freer and freer

[Verse 2]
And broil and toil and foil thy
Scalloped breastbone
Roll and toll and fold
The long winters in it
Think not what the season'll become
Reap fruitfully of the gardendom
That grew masterfully over your
Withering son

[Bridge]
Beat out them bed bugs
Stand when you do it
Beat out them bed bugs
Stand when you do it

[Chorus]
Some shattering fawn
For this candented dawn
Pluck up their worm holes and give them
To feeders that spirits be freer
Some shattering fawn
For this candented dawn
Pluck up their worm holes and give them
To feeders that spirits be freer and freer and freer and

The sound of a generation. Of a decade.

no this was just what it could have been. Purity Ring was too beautiful and unique for others to appreciate. A special, dark crystal in a world of chaos.
