Sasong
Avey Tare & Kría Brekkan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the city I wander
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
My body's slowly
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

Overall Meaning

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
