slenderbodies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I could be naive
Holding onto something sweet
Maybe I was born this way
Yet I could be wrong, yeah
Try to keep yourself at ease
Maybe you were born this way
But you could be wrong, yeah
I fell back
And I lost my track
As my chin sags
And my eyes go black
I want all my senses back
Senses back, my senses back
I want all my senses back
Senses back, my senses back
I want all my senses back
Senses back, my senses back
I want all my senses back
Senses back, my, my, my senses, my senses
Often on the sea breeze
Height of mountains kept me sleeping
You and I were born this way
Did something go wrong here?
I'm chuckling softly, hey hey
I′ll pass it off graciously
Even in my time and place
Will something grow old here
And I fell back
And I lost track
As my chin sags
And my eyes go black
I want all my senses back
Senses back, my senses back
I want all my senses back
Senses back, my senses back
I want all my senses back
Senses back, my senses back
I want all my senses back
Senses back, my, my, my senses, my senses
My senses, my
The lyrics of slenderbodies' song "senses" convey a sense of introspection and a desire to regain lost sensations. The opening lines, "Yeah, nah-ah-ah," set a contemplative tone as the singer reflects on their own naivety and the sweetness they hold onto. They question their own nature, hinting at the possibility of being wrong about themselves.
The chorus, "I want all my senses back, senses back, my senses back," expresses the longing to reconnect with their senses, to feel fully alive again. This desire could stem from a feeling of detachment or numbness, as indicated by the lines, "I fell back, and I lost my track, as my chin sags and my eyes go black." There is a tangible yearning to break free from this state and reawaken their ability to experience life to the fullest.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift to a more reflective tone. The mention of being "on the sea breeze" and the "height of mountains" suggests a connection to nature. The line "Did something go wrong here?" hints at a perceived disconnect between their natural state and the current reality they find themselves in. Despite this, they maintain a sense of humor and grace by chuckling softly and passing things off graciously.
Overall, "senses" explores themes of self-discovery, questioning one's own nature, and the longing to experience life fully. It reflects a desire to reignite the senses and find a deeper connection with oneself and the world.
