Landscapes
Talos Lyrics

The lyrics of Talos's "Landscapes" seem to be shrouded in mystery, evoking a sense of unease and darkness throughout the song. The opening line, "Oh, devil, hide amongst the reeds in water," immediately sets an ominous tone, with the devil representing dangerous and malevolent forces hiding in the peaceful and innocent surroundings of nature. The second line, "Bodies under me when you held the rope," suggests a struggling, potentially violent interaction between two people, with one person holding the other captive. The line "you let go and I fall, you have it all" further emphasizes this power dynamic, with one person possessing all control while the other is helpless.

The chorus, "snapped together in your landscape, we are heat stains, magnetized by the night, light as a feather, I would suffer for your landscape, in the moon haze, all that's left are bloodlines," seems to hint at the notion of being trapped and unable to escape a harmful situation. The phrase "we are heat stains" could signify the lasting damage and trauma left behind after such an experience, while "magnetized by the night, light as a feather" creates a sense of otherworldliness and detachment from reality. The repeated line "I would suffer for your landscape" could suggest a willingness to endure pain or discomfort for the sake of someone else's desires, while "all that's left are bloodlines" creates a disturbing image of the aftermath of violence.

The later part of the song continues with a similar theme of captivity and harm, with lines such as "bleaches over me, when you held me close," "lie now and never hope," and "feelings start, a [gauntlet stays]??", leaving the listener with an eerie and unsettling feeling. Overall, the lyrics of "Landscapes" appear to delve into the complexities of power dynamics, trauma, and the aftermath of harmful relationships.
