Grass Widow's lyrics, matched with its cautiously joyous beats, reflect its vision of the world: a mysterious Ozlike land in which the surface looks radiant and colorful but with a thinly veiled underside that reveals a fearful and fateful ethereal reality.
Grass Widow mesmerizes with its bewitching tales and eerie, obsessive melodies. But at the core of its captivation are the vocal harmonies. "When we play live," Maring says, "we'll all be chiming in vocally, and we'll make eye contact; it's like we're singing to each other."

Black surrounding
Distance ringing
Try to reach me
Sleeping on the floor
The lines are breaking
Light spills from under the door
Wake me if you can
I'll wait for you to see
A tunnel out of the night
Channeling into another time
Wake me if you can
The lines are breaking
I'll wait for you to see
The lyrics to Grass Widow's song "Fried Egg" are shrouded in mystery, yet deeply emotional. The opening lines describe a sense of disconnection from the world, with the "dark noise" and "black surrounding" representing a feeling of isolation and despair. The singer reaches out for someone to "try to reach me," but they remain lost in the darkness.
As the song progresses, we learn that the singer is sleeping on the floor, perhaps due to a difficult or tumultuous situation. The "lines are breaking" and they are struggling to hold things together. Yet, there is a sense of hope as they wait for someone to "wake me if you can" and help guide them towards a "tunnel out of the night."
The closing lines offer a glimmer of light, as the singer looks towards a "channeling into another time" and waits for someone to "see" the path forward. Overall, "Fried Egg" is a poignant portrayal of the complexities of human emotion, and the struggle to find meaning and connection in the midst of darkness.

@PANTHERBURNS
yeah so true. i've listened to their first album literally a hundred times and i still love it. it's sick how in songs like out of body experience they go back and fourth from being really raw and chaotic sounding to suddenly singing the most beautiful harmonies. no one makes music this sincere and good right now.
