Take My Hand
Dark Time Sunshine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking through the field of it, living sorts, I hope you understand now.
How you're not the one to make a sense of it all,
I'm a tourist guy, walk along and take my hand.
Welcome to the make up of new paths,
Fast fix 'em, make another face
That you can run for intuition.
But you wake up in the scene of it, in a perspective that's there,
To end an overcame dead win.
Politic for palace, make my probably balling
And you got near your truth, flow loss from damage
I hear the devil gun shots, the guns, wait, wait.
For frickle prick soldiers looking for spirit,
In light give me tip, over there, there.
Turning tip, sipping tip, you trip, try to mutant the hit,
The ball bades a new politics, holding fire for nothing.
You, a rude wig, stupid, stupid dog
Go ahead, take my hand and de-attach it from the wrist,
Now you're holding it, a little bit far
More than a part that's tricked out,
Mannequin limit real fresh to creep out those who chit-chat.
For years to come about up we assure them,
Going to be going there.
Most for the top on is easy two on flip, no match.
Search for the voice that we used for cameo,
As we float up to tampta.
Cycle semantics is accurate, this mountain no flop,
Six pen in silent, jungle joggling in land with tigers.
Contortionists with them pasties remind you of spiders.
Adam and Eve, apples of six stick in the caramel,
Carousel carny' intoxicating operating the scale.
Modelate all adorament life like
Swam did it already and I'm mike, the ace mike.
Give up a secret or two, about the cannibal man,
Everyone who know who do, only you're losing insane.
Just in the black light gallop and gooms,
The past around all of each other platoon, I think you need room.
Perhaps a moment of soup, yeah, we chill up scene,
Go ahead, let go of my hand, now to the drain.
Pick up that chord, let me death chord bet,
No cup large less, no red heart left,
Sound mine, bound by tights on holdy,
Harass to resolve, zone line one, hold it.
Can't tore more thing, rampart side,
There was sight scenes low when the name towards night
Deem dun hymn by one time own.
Have a green blood line two time in a row.
I'm in the light, the sign is a mist,
Grinding the toast, try little sticks,
I'm in the bites, I'm in the bine,
Head low, back bones stringing,
Achrom, drums like a black home bengeane.
Watch the cat pole spin up in the bench,
I sit through vix like mister wolves bigs
That goes like igloo bricks, neck beer, loose lips,
Hanging loose too when the loose fits.
Tears back flap, chattery bulb cavities,
Out of smattering adult faculties.
Grew up in a cold opacity, matches,
You don't wanna be who the paps and imagine
But then everybody come splash in the hazard
Ribs on the flask in the dagger after,
And I'm popping sort of form her, but I'm itching for the ladder,
Got initials that keep exit in a center, thank you.

[Swamburger verse]
Sounds as if you need a hand,
Walking through the field of it, living sorts,
I hope you understand now
How you're not the one to make a sense of it all,
I'm a tourist guide, walk along and take my hand.
Welcome to the make up of new paths,
Fast fix 'em, direct another face value
We want it to fruition
By way of competition to win,
in a perspective that's there.
Come along, take my hand and
Place your thoughts on these feats
To end an overcame dead win.
Politic for policy, make my folly raleigh
And you got near your truth, flow loss from damage
Over your? adult sharks you playin cards wit', wit'.
For frickle prick soldiers looking for spirit,
In light give me tips, over there, there.
Turning tip, sipping tip, you trip,
Try the music for hits,
The broad bades for new politics, holding fire for lobbyists.
[Sean Micheal Verse]
You a rude wig, stimpy, stupid dumb
Go ahead, take my hand and detach us from the wrist,
Now you're holding it, amused with fun,
More than a parlor trick, that
Mannequin limb has real flesh to creep out those who will chit-chat
For years to come about what we have showed them,
Going to be showing there.
Most of the trapeze on tour would flip, no match.
Search for a gruesome voice that we use to calm you,
As we flip up the tent top
Psycho semantics, accurate, this man is no flop,
Six pane asylum, junkie juggling land with tigers,
Contortionisties with them pasties remind you of spiders,
Adam and Eve apples on sticks, dip in the caramel,
Carousel carney, intoxicated, operating the scale.
Marmalade, all adornament life like,
Swam did it already, and I'm Mike, the ace Mike.
Give up a secret or two, about the cannonball man,
Never know hula, who do? Only a loser in tran,
Dressed in the black light, gallop and gooms,
The class surround all of each other, platoon, I think you need room,
Perhaps a moment to soak in what you have seen,
Go ahead, let go of my hand, that was no dream.
[Aesop Rock verse]
You wanna see a trick?
Pick a death card, any death card, bet
No kevlar vest, no red heart left
Sound mine, bound by tides unholy
Harvester of souls on line one, holding
Can't talk molting, ramparts high
Though his high seems low when the nam draw nigh.
Deemed unkind by his one time own,
Now a green blood line do time in a hole,
Crying alive, sign is amiss,
Grime in the tiles, cried little sticks,
Simon advised, I'm in a bind
Hat low, back bones stringent
Aggro, drums like a black hole binging
Launch the cat, post dinner in a ditch,
I sniff through Vicks' like Mr. Roo's pigs
Stack skulls like igloo bricks, neck beard, loose lips,
Hanging loose dude, if the noose fits
Ears back, flat
Chattery pulp cavities, ha!
Now to smattering adult faculties,
Cooked in a cold opacity, mashers,
You don't wanna be who the passion and badger
Elaborately,
Come splash in the hazards,
Dibs on the flask and the dagger after,
And I'll probably settle former, but I'm itching for the latter,
Got initials that he etching in his anchor,
Thank ya.

I dunno about that, it's solid though. This isn't even in the same atmosphere as Oxygen, 1000 deaths, Bosico, anything off NSP. Dope regardless.. If you haven't heard Bosico go listen to that, the beat goes so hard by Grimace Foundation, it's about his divorce. Lyrics are FIRE.
