Nadi was the resident D.J and Maya the cocktail waitress. She could sing he could play, they stepped into the studio and emmerged 3 months later with an magical low fi album, their debut: "Woke up in a midget", a dreamy intimate record, raw and real. the record was disrtibuted by a local indie label "No distribution". In the following months they gathered an array of extraordinary musicians to take the act to the stage, creating a show that delivers acoustic intimacy beside kicking rock&roll. they entered the studio for a second time, this time around the whole band took part along with other musical guests that added cello, violin, trombone, flute, banjo and more.

The Rope
Mr. Heavy & Ms. Low Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hollow this - and maybe you can swallow this - I don't know
I guess it always seems that something in this life is diseased
But guess what I know - Here's something that you can't devour
It's something moving with the tide and now it's ripping you from inside

Follow me into the Abyss of the windfall that's tearing you down
It's OK to believe that there's something in nothing now

I'm at the end of my rope
If I could give - I'll bet I would play dead
If I could live - I'd fall apart again
If I could fly - away from all this pain
If I could run - I'd crumble again

Please rewind - retrace your life - and then you'll find
That everything you learned in this - is just a pile of worthlessness
So suffocate - and maybe you can separate
And in the end - it's no surprise - that only in death will you realize

I'm at the end of my rope
If I could give - I'll bet I would play dead
If I could live - I'd fall apart again
If I could fly away - from all this pain
If I could run - I'd crumble again

If it's true - it's just to pass the time - just to pacify my will to bind
You can't drive when you're blind - and it burns your eyes
You can't hold me to a place in time - where I'm stuck behind
You can't climb out of the flood -the sign - listen to the lies that cut
you up inside - and the blood will stain our lives

If I could.....
I'm at the end of my rope

If I could give more - yeah
If I could cut me in any way I could

If I could fly away
If I could....If I could run

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Rope" by Mr. Heavy & Ms. Low describe a feeling of being overwhelmed and trapped by the difficulties of life. The opening lines suggest that there is something diseased or flawed in the world that is hard to swallow. However, the singer offers a glimmer of hope in the idea that there is something beyond this struggle that cannot be taken away, something that moves with the tide and can even rip away the pain that is felt inside.

The chorus, however, returns to a feeling of being at the end of one's rope. The singer wishes he or she could give up, play dead, or fly away from the pain that is being experienced. The second verse suggests that the things we learn in life are often "worthless" and suffocating, and that only death can bring release.

The final section of the song contains some oblique references to other struggles and sources of pain, such as feeling stuck or blind, being cut up by lies, and staining one's life with blood. Ultimately, though, the song seems to be about finding a way to push through, to keep holding on even when things seem unbearable.

Overall, the lyrics of "The Rope" are introspective and emotional. They touch on themes like despair, hopelessness, and the struggle to find purpose and meaning in life.

You can't drive when you're blind - and it burns your eyes
You can't lead yourself or others when you're ignorant, and it will eventually hurt.

You can't hold me to a place in time - where I'm stuck behind
Don't constrain me to a static moment in life where I'm stagnant.

You can't climb out of the flood -the sign - listen to the lies that cut you up inside - and the blood will stain our lives
You can't escape from the overwhelming current of deceit and betrayal that will harm us all.

If I could give more - yeah
If I could muster the strength to do more...

If I could cut me in any way I could
If I could harm myself in any possible manner...

If I could fly away
If I could escape immediately...

If I could....If I could run
If only I could... but alas, I can't run anymore either.
