Sitting Up On Our Crane
Pond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we're up high 'cause I feel like I fall and die
And I can't say goodbye to my friends
'Cause they're having a real good time
Get up on our plane, it always feels the same
When we're up high 'cause I feel like I crash and die
And I can't say goodbye to my love
She's been sleeping all our flight
And you know it's gonna get you feeling like you're gonna die
Just try to tell yourself, you know it's coming out
As your spirit towards the ground
Sitting up on our crane, it always feels the same
When we're up high 'cause I feel like I fall and die
And I can't say goodbye to my friends
'Cause they're having a real good time
And you know it's gonna get you feeling like you're gonna die
Just try to tell yourself, you know it's coming out
As your spirit towards the ground
Oh, it's gonna get you feeling like you're gonna die
Just try to tell yourself, you know it's coming out
As your spirit towards the ground
All I wanna do is get drunk and listen to Dennis Wilson
'Cause he's the man, oh yeah-yeah-yeah, 'cause he's the man, yeah-yeah
In Pond's song "Sitting Up On Our Crane," the band describes their experience of being up high on a crane or plane, fearing for their safety, feeling like they might fall and die. They also mention not being able to say goodbye to their friends and loved ones who are having a good time. The lyrics convey a sense of detachment and loneliness, as the singer is stuck in their own worries and unable to fully connect with the world around them.
In the second verse of the song, Pond reminds the listener that we are all mortal and that death is inevitable. The lyrics suggest that when we face our mortality, we should try to accept it and let go of our fears, surrendering our spirits to the ground. This is a powerful image, suggesting that death is not something to be feared, but rather a natural process that we must all go through, like falling to earth from a great height.
The final line of the song is a reference to Dennis Wilson, the drummer of The Beach Boys. The band members express their desire to get drunk and listen to his music, recognizing him as a musical icon and someone who inspires them. This line adds a sense of lightness and humor to the song, reminding us that life is not all doom and gloom.
Overall, "Sitting Up On Our Crane" is a reflective and introspective song, exploring themes of mortality, anxiety, and the search for connection in a confusing world.

This song is deceptively good. It took me a good 3 listens to realize what a killer song it is. The genius of it kinda flew under my radar initially....but on repeat listens, this is a super cool creative catchy song. And the visuals are awesome!

I found this album to be quite a grower on me, I only liked "Elvis Flaming Star" when I first listened to it, I couldn't dig the space keys and the odd layered production, but now I get it.. Still, this ain't my favourite by them, but a solid synth pop album for sure
Pink Lloyd
I noticed first listen

Bianca Barufaldi I agree!! Though I must admit, to me, this song is depressing in the most beautiful way, it's like my go-to song whenever I'm feeling the blues
Garrett Portwood
This is my favorite song by Pond. Tame Impala and Pond are the best bands I've ever heard.
