Icelandic Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That follows me where ever I go
And supports me
This tooth is warmth like
This tooth is warmth like
This tooth is warmth like
These teeth are a ladder that I walk
That you can walk too if you want
If you want up to the mouth
The mouth's cradle
Up to the mouth's cradle
He always has a hope for me
Always sees me when nothin' else
And everyone have left can care
That ghost is brighter than anyone
And fulfills me with hope, those beams assure me
And you can use these teeth as a ladder
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
And you can follow these notes I'm singing
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
The simplicity of the ghost-like beast
The purity of what it wants and where it goes
Always love, always loves you, always loves you
Infrared love
And you can use these teeth as a ladder
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
You can use these teeth follow my voice, tooth by tooth
Up to the mouth's cradle, the mouth's cradle
I need a shelter to build an altar away
From all osamas and bushes
I need a shelter to build an altar away
From all osamas and bushes
"Mouth's Cradle" by Icelandic Choir is a song that explores the theme of hope and support in difficult times. The lyrics suggest that there is a ghost-like entity that always follows the singer and provides comfort and hope, even when everything else seems to have left. The "tooth" mentioned repeatedly in the song represents the warmth and comfort that this entity brings, and the teeth become a metaphorical ladder that one can use to reach the "mouth's cradle." The mouth's cradle could be interpreted as a place of safety and security, or even as a metaphor for the embrace of the ghostly entity.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of purity and love, with the ghost being described as having an "infrared love" that always loves and cares for the singer. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer needs a shelter to build an altar away from the chaos of the world, perhaps indicating a desire for a more peaceful and meaningful existence.
Overall, "Mouth's Cradle" is an evocative and thought-provoking song that blends haunting vocals with a sense of mysticism and spirituality.
