Sasong
Avey Tare & Kría Brekkan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worms get smashed under
All those people are busy with things
And here I go crazy
And there I get lazy
Like a calf that is growing six legs
Figuring out how
It fits in the moments of missing
Steady in my thoughts
I soften the tight knots
My stomach's alright, though it's twisting
On a beautiful surf
I found a seaweed person
In hot light reflected green on the sand
I was a little uncertain
That some things might hurt me
In the night I hid my eyes with my hand
Then off of the breeze
I heard a sudden burst and
In fright imagined thumps on the land
There is a house on the trees
Where all the shadows work and
They don't make their plans your plans
And maybe I'm naive
To say you should just breathe
And float out of pain when it's hissing
'Cause here I sit crying
And she's not here, I am
I can't handle a moment she's missing
Then I eat with my people
And I laugh at the steeples
'Cause Hell is my own bad thinking
I know that the rain moves
And enters the dream pools
And diamonds are days with fire
And you help the sneeze
For as long as you could
Just to cast it to the sneezing void
I think I have a disease
That makes my hearing imperfect
But at least I make some wonderful noise
And back in the trees
I saw a shadow's birth, but
No one said it's a girl or a boy
You can take all you want
From another person
In the end you find you lose your voice
In the city I wander
Worms get smashed under
The streets where all those people are busy
Here I go crazy
But there I feel lazy
Like a calf that is growing six legs
My body's slowly
Figuring out how
It fits into moments of missing
The song Sasong by Avey Tare & Kría Brekkan speaks about the complexities of finding one's place in the world. The lyrics are introspective, contemplative, and at times, surrealist. The song begins with the singer wandering through the city, observing the bustle of the people around them. They describe feeling both overstimulated and apathetic, "crazy" in some moments, and "lazy" in others, like a calf growing six legs. The lyrics convey a sense of disorientation and uncertainty, as the singer's body is "slowly figuring out how it fits into moments of missing."
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on different experiences and encounters. They describe finding a "seaweed person" on a beautiful surf, feeling uncertain and fearful at first, but then letting go and enjoying the moment. They also encounter a shadow born in the trees, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for birth or the duality of light and dark. Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the concept of pain and how to cope with it. They acknowledge that pain can be overwhelming, but suggest that it can be pushed away by floating out of it, breathing, and making "wonderful noise."
Line by Line Meaning
In the city I wander
I walk around the city aimlessly
Worms get smashed under
I step on and kill worms as I walk
All those people are busy with things
Everyone else around me is busy with life
And here I go crazy
In this environment, I lose my sanity
And there I get lazy
Sometimes I become idle and unproductive
Like a calf that is growing six legs
I sometimes feel like a misfit that doesn't belong
My body's slowly
Over time,
Figuring out how
I am learning
It fits in the moments of missing
How to cope with feelings of emptiness
Steady in my thoughts
I try to maintain a stable mindset
I soften the tight knots
I relax my tense muscles
My stomach's alright, though it's twisting
I am handling my anxiety and stress
On a beautiful surf
Surrounded by beauty,
I found a seaweed person
I come across something unique that doesn't quite fit in
In hot light reflected green on the sand
The surroundings enhance the beauty of the seaweed person
I was a little uncertain
At first, I had doubts
That some things might hurt me
I was afraid of getting hurt
In the night I hid my eyes with my hand
I tried to shield myself from harm
Then off of the breeze
Suddenly,
I heard a sudden burst and
I was startled by a loud noise
In fright imagined thumps on the land
I let my imagination run wild
There is a house on the trees
There's a treehouse
Where all the shadows work
Shadowy figures reside there
And they don't make their plans your plans
They have their own agenda
And maybe I'm naive
Perhaps I am overly trusting
To say you should just breathe
I believe that relaxation techniques can help
And float out of pain when it's hissing
To escape emotional pain
'Cause here I sit crying
Currently I am crying
And she's not here, I am
Someone important is not present
I can't handle a moment she's missing
I am struggling to cope with her absence
Then I eat with my people
I join my group of friends
And I laugh at the steeples
We make light of serious things
'Cause Hell is my own bad thinking
Negativity and anxiety create a personal hell
I know that the rain moves
I understand that the rain has a cycle
And enters the dream pools
It contributes to the formation of dreams
And diamonds are days with fire
Life's precious moments are filled with passion
And you help the sneeze
You aid the sneeze
For as long as you could
You make an effort for as long as possible
Just to cast it to the sneezing void
Only to have it disappear into nothingness
I think I have a disease
I suspect I have a disability
That makes my hearing imperfect
My hearing is flawed
But at least I make some wonderful noise
But I can still create beautiful sounds
And back in the trees
Returning to the tree area
I saw a shadow's birth
I witness the birth of a shadowy figure
But no one said it's a girl or a boy
It has an androgynous appearance
You can take all you want
You can take from others as much as you desire
From another person
Take from someone else
In the end you find you lose your voice
Ultimately, it's a losing game
In the city I wander
I walk around the city aimlessly
Worms get smashed under
I step on and kill worms as I walk
The streets where all those people are busy
Amongst the busy people in the city
Here I go crazy
I become insane in this fast-paced environment
But there I feel lazy
It's a place where I can become idle
Like a calf that is growing six legs
I feel like a misfit that doesn't belong
My body's slowly
Over time,
Figuring out how
I am learning
It fits into moments of missing
How to cope with feelings of emptiness
