Animal Imagination
Glass Candy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soft boundaries moving, can move you in
Soft boundaries slipping, can slip you in
Ways that boundaries move through your fluid skin,
Soft boundaries moving, can move you in

Soft boundaries moving, can move you in
Soft boundaries slipping, can slip you in
Ways that boundaries move through your fluid skin,
Soft boundaries moving, can move you in

Minds that used to break, the architect creates new structures,
If you want Him, call out his name, from your inner space, sacred construction,
Travellin on dry trails, through the limbic system,
Sieze this desert land and rides the fences

Soft boundaries moving, can move you in
Soft boundaries slipping, can slip you in
Ways that boundaries move through your fluid skin,
Soft boundaries moving, can move you in

Minds that used to pray, the architect creates new structures,
If you want Him, call out His name, from your inner space, sacred construction,
Travellin on dry trails, through the limbic system,
Sieze this desert land and ride defenses,
Harness the snake that weaves and rises,

Soft boundaries moving, can move you in
Soft boundaries slipping, can slip you in




Ways that boundaries move through your fluid skin,
Soft boundaries moving, can move you in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Glass Candy's "Animal Imagination" focus on the idea of soft boundaries and how they can be used to move and slip into someone's consciousness. The boundaries described here are not physical ones but boundaries within the mind, and how they can be manipulated or overcome. The repetition of the phrase "soft boundaries moving, can move you in" emphasizes the notion that these boundaries are not fixed but can change depending on how we approach them. The idea of fluidity is also present, as boundaries are described as moving through "your fluid skin," further emphasizing the permeable nature of the mind.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of creation and the power of the architect figure. The architect can create new structures within the mind, helping to overcome previous limitations. The mention of calling out his name from inner space and creating a sacred construction suggests a spiritual component to this idea of creation. One interesting phrase is "travelling on dry trails through the limbic system," which could be interpreted as referring to the journey through the emotional center of the brain. The overall message seems to be that we have the power to overcome our limitations and change our boundaries, but it requires a certain level of focused effort and spirituality.
