Tiny Moving Parts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to feel it
Just how flexible it is
Maybe someday I will eventually know
It's not as easy as it seems
I know it's hard to let go
A certain standard you've created
I know it's hard to let go
A certain level you've created
And how to reach it?
I don't know
I hope you never let our love descend
Can you please promise me that we will always be friends?
I need this
I need you
And if you ever want to know what it's like to be alone
Just ask me
I'm the example of a lost human being
Maybe what moved you is what's moving me
Time heals all wounds sounds so confusing
Maybe what moved you is what's moving me
It's the littlest things
I won't forget the day
We took off our clothes in the rain
Danced until the morning came
But the memory remains
You were drenched down to the bone
I was so cold yet so warm
A final frail hug on this plateau
Seconds before you had to go
You were drenched down to the bone
I was so cold yet so warm
We went inside and dried out the night
Everything is gone but the memory remains
The lyrics of Tiny Moving Parts' song Birdhouse describe a complicated and emotional relationship between two individuals. The singer expresses a desire to intimately know his partner on a physical level, symbolized by the line "I want to twist your skin, I want to feel it, just how flexible it is, maybe someday I will eventually know." However, he acknowledges that it's not an easy feat, suggesting that perhaps there are emotional barriers preventing complete intimacy between them.
The singer also alludes to a certain standard or level that his partner has set for their relationship, which he feels he has fallen below. This creates tension and confusion for him as he struggles to understand how to reach the level that his partner desires. Throughout the song, he reflects on their past experiences together and expresses a desire to maintain their connection, even if it means just being friends.
As the song progresses, the singer's tone becomes more somber as he recounts a specific memory of dancing in the rain with his partner. The imagery of being drenched to the bone and feeling both cold and warm creates a sense of vulnerability and closeness between the two. However, the memory ends with a bittersweet farewell, as they separate on a plateau, leaving only the memory behind.
Overall, the lyrics of Birdhouse explore the complexities of relationships, the struggles of intimacy, and the importance of holding onto cherished memories.

I want to twist your skin
I want to explore your boundaries
I want to feel it
I want to experience your flexibility
Just how flexible it is
Just how far you can be pushed
Maybe someday I will eventually know
Perhaps someday I will understand better
It's not as easy as it seems
Things aren't as straightforward as they appear
I know it's hard to let go
I understand that release is difficult
A certain standard you've created
An expectation you have put in place
And I've fallen below
And I've failed to meet it
A certain level you've created
An ideal you have constructed
And how to reach it?
And I don't know how to achieve it
I hope you never let our love descend
I hope our love won't deteriorate
Can you please promise me that we will always be friends?
Can you please vow to remain friends?
I need this
This is necessary for me
I need you
You are essential to me
And if you ever want to know what it's like to be alone
And if you ever wonder about solitary existence
Just ask me
Just inquire with me
I'm the example of a lost human being
I am a specimen of a bewildered person
Maybe what moved you is what's moving me
Perhaps, what inspired you is what is inspiring me
Time heals all wounds sounds so confusing
The notion that time mends everything is confounding
It's the littlest things
The smallest actions matter the most
I won't forget the day
I will remember that occasion
We took off our clothes in the rain
We disrobed in the shower
Danced until the morning came
Danced until sunrise
But the memory remains
But the recollection persists
You were drenched down to the bone
You were soaked to the core
I was so cold yet so warm
I was chilly but welcoming
A final frail hug on this plateau
A weak, last embrace on this level
Seconds before you had to go
Moments before you had to depart
We went inside and dried out the night
We moved indoors and remedied the night
Everything is gone but the memory remains
Everything has vanished except for the memories

Quiero torcer tu piel
Quiero sentirla
Ver qué tan flexible es
Quizás algún día eventualmente lo sabré
No es tan fácil como parece
Sé que es difícil dejarlo ir
Un cierto estándar que has creado
Y me he caído abajo
Sé que es difícil dejarlo ir
Un cierto nivel que has creado
¿Y cómo llegar?
No lo sé
Espero que nunca dejes que nuestro amor descienda
¿Puedes prometerme que siempre seremos amigos?
Lo necesito
Te necesito
Y si alguna vez quieres saber lo que es estar solo
Solo pregúntame
Soy el ejemplo de un ser humano perdido
Quizás lo que te movió es lo que me mueve
"El tiempo cura todas las heridas" suena tan confuso
Quizás lo que te movió es lo que me mueve
Son las cosas mas pequeñas
No olvidaré el día
Nos quitamos la ropa bajo la lluvia
Bailamos hasta que llegó la mañana
Pero el recuerdo permanece
Estabas empapada hasta los huesos
Tenía tanto frío pero tanto calor
Un último abrazo frágil en esta meseta
Segundos antes de que tuvieras que irte
Estabas empapada hasta los huesos
Tenía tanto frío pero tanto calor
Entramos y nos secamos la noche
Todo se ha ido pero el recuerdo permanece
El recuerdo permanece
El recuerdo permanece

Best combo of midwest emo and mathrock I have seen. Also anyone know the guest vocalist in this?
Owl100
@j.f.a.p it is
j.f.a.p
@Wolf92xd Midwest is not emo
D S
@Wolf92xd this track is more midwest-emo/pop punk.
Wolf92xd
I know TBS isn't exactly midwest emo or mathrock but they're considered pretty much emo, so I'd say Adam and John also made a damn good combo back in the day when they released Tell All Your Friends. Man that album was amaznig and the combination of vocals by them plus the riffs and everything else was just perfect. But yep, this is astonishing too and this album especially is what I love the most by TMP. Much better than the latter ones and even This Couch. IMHO ofc.
