arrival
slenderbodies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bend around the road
I give away my silhouette
Nothing holds you like the sun
I'm youthful in the morning light
I speak highly of my own life
Though it seems like I'm living right
Maybe you could tell me I'm a little off
A little off, mmh, yeah

Flakes are peeling
Falling on my skin
Seek my reasons
Dance until the end

So wait until it's said and done
Then make amends and move along
You're stranded right where you belong
And maybe it's intentional
Maybe it's not bad at all
Wading in subliminal
You're stranded but you have it all
And maybe it's intentional
Did you know?

Tryna chase a stone
Yeah we did it on our own
Caught us rolling on the floor
By the bedside
Resuscitate a tone
That reminds us of the ones
That we met along the road
From our own tribe

We held our weight alone
Hard to say if when and why are reasons to be home
Straying somewhere sweeter than the places we have gone
All the strangers left our fingers feeling warm

Flakes are peeling
Falling on my skin
Seek my reasons
Dance until the end

So wait until it's said and done
Then make amends and move along
You're stranded right where you belong
And maybe it's intentional
Maybe it's not bad at all
Wading in subliminal
You're stranded but you have it all
And maybe it's intentional
Did you know

It helps depending on the people
That you said you'll always love
Only in your life
You'll share these chemicals

So wait until it
So wait until it
So wait until it
So wait until it
Wait until it




Wait until it
Wait until it

Tryna chase a stone Yeah we did it on our own Caught us rolling on the floor By the bedside Resuscitate a tone That reminds us of the ones That we met along the road From our own tribe
We were chasing a dream and did it without help. Caught up in the moment, we find solace in familiar sounds that remind us of those who have supported us along the way.


We held our weight alone Hard to say if when and why are reasons to be home Straying somewhere sweeter than the places we have gone All the strangers left our fingers feeling warm
We carried our burdens alone and question if time and reason are what create a sense of home. The unfamiliar path we wander may lead to greater happiness than what we have already experienced. Though we meet strangers, their impact still warms our hearts and stays with us.


It helps depending on the people That you said you'll always love Only in your life You'll share these chemicals
The people you love have a powerful effect on your happiness and well-being. You can only experience these unique connections in your lifetime.


So wait until it So wait until it So wait until it So wait until it Wait until it Wait until it Wait until it
Be patient and wait for things to unfold naturally. Life's mysteries will reveal themselves in due time.

I'm patiently waiting for you guys to be recognised

@Mmmkay10

Well aren't you recognizing them? Aren't ppl on this channel recognizing them? Unless what you're waiting for is for them to go commercial and then that's when ppl will start talking shit about them for selling out. How about stop worrying about other ppl and just embrace them if YOU like them.

@thecrazybassman3102

MUSIC LOVER i agree

@slenderbodies

we're glad you're here :)

@milenaailendominguez5626

I said I'm waiting for them to be valuated as they are, an amazing group which deserves more and I know they will get the credit. I wish people know about them and appreciate their music as I do.
