Fountain
iamamiwhoami Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What lies beyond the fringe of the woods?
Dust to dust, so we leave for good
When all has gone to blazes I start to run
Until I find places where nobody's gone

No more weight on your conscience
With ease, I go back to the start
Surge like a fountain
Riptide
And swallow me
Flourish like a fountain
Inside
Gather force from the sea
Now you're new and shiny
Hold tight
Let it wash me clean

Crawling through deafening cold
Turning head, there's no sight of home
Though my body's aching, we have to push on
For every start, no line is drawn

Surge like a fountain
Riptide
And swallow me
Flourish like a fountain
Inside
Gather force from the sea
Now you're new and shiny
Hold tight
Let it wash me clean

From watching eyes I blindly rove
To guard my stories and find my god





What lies beyond the fringe of the woods?
Dust to dust, so we leave for good

What lies beyond the fringe of the woods
Dust to dust so we leave for good
When all has gone to blazes i start to run
Until i find places where nobody's gone
No more weight on your conscience
With ease i go back to the start
Surge like a fountain, like tide
And swallow the bleed
Flows like a fountain inside
Gather force from the sea
Riding this giant wave untied
Let it wash me clean
Crawling through deafening cold
Turning head there's no sight of home
Though my body's aching we have to push on
For every stride a new line is drawn
From watching eyes i blindly rove
To guard my stories and find new gold

You should listen to kill again , at the very end of the song , you can hear the very same voice just to indicate maybe there's a new path here.
I know she is working with some dude, maybe it's him singing,
By the way I think that kill and this song are connected in so many ways:
The "windy" sound from the beginning which remind us the sea , you can hear the same in kill's bridge.
As I wrote before, goods was something different, after kill everybody was like, what's next?
And she did "goods", just to say fuck off dudes, she was sayin' this is not over, you'll hear from me again.
This the next part of the story :)
the story from kin ends at the beach, this one starts at the beach.
That's why I'm sure they put the voice in the end on purpose ;)
( I think it's the same voice in "o" too btw )
