Swimming Field
Memory Tapes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the field, I wait for the morning
When they fly, over a dream
Come and call for me
Boyfriend, come and play
When they feel I never found the weighted bells

We like them all, come in the morning
In the sky, counting away
Hope to send them now, play your winded night




From the ground
Reach out from the ground

Line by Line Meaning

In the field, I wait for the morning
I am waiting in an open space anticipantly for morning to arrive


When they fly, over a dream
When birds soar over my idyllic vision


Come and call for me
Summon me over


Boyfriend, come and play
Dear lover, come and engage in some frolic


When they feel I never found the weighted bells
When they realize I never truly discovered the burdensome burdens


We like them all, come in the morning
We cherish each and every one of them, they come along with morning sun


In the sky, counting away
Up high, continually keeping count


Hope to send them now, play your winded night
I aspire to release them now, carry out your breezy evening


From the ground
From this particular location


Reach out from the ground
Extend and make contact with me from the ground up

This takes me back to when i was 15 and it’s summer and i’m smoking a bowl with my best friend at the time from outside my window on my roof and it’s sunset and we’re listening to this and bunch of other weird good music
