Jenny Hval - Cemetery of Splendour lyrics
[Jenny Hval - Cemetery of Splendour lyrics]
When you call
When you call my name
Breath fills a shut-down space
Mouths were opened here once
There was a band on
Hear the buzzing of the empty halls
Or all rooms that are empty
At any point in time, sigh
Ah
Once you played in empty bars
Performing for the beer tap
And the pool tables
Nobody giving you their card
Because you have potential
Almost nothing interrupting ideas
Jittering in the jiggers
They sound like the way to another
Now you go to thе afterlife
You've hеard good things about it
But the embers are cooling
And the spirit's
Are just names plus one
And you see tagged-over
Posters with faces out of frame
Boarded up windows
That watch you walk away
All things abandoned are following your steps
Associating from space to emptiness
(Trees, sticks, rocks)
Tagged-over posters with faces out of frame
(Bamboo leaf, bamboo leaf again
And the branch, the branch, the pine cones)
Boarded up windows
That watch you walk away
(And the birds in the distance
Gum, gum, gum, cigarette butts)
All things abandoned are following your steps
(Candy wrapper, a button, a slug
Shoes came here, and here, and here)
Associating from space to emptiness
(Someone once lay down here
But the trees, the trees)
And the pine cones
And the sticks, and the rocks
And the bamboo leaf
The bamboo leaf again
And then the branch
The branch, the branch, the branch
(When you are sleeping, time glows)
Pine cones and the birds in the distance
Gum, gum, gum
Cigarette butts
Candy wrapper
A button, a slug
Shoes came here, and here, and here
Someone once lay down here
But the trees
And the pine cones
When you call my name
Breath fills a shut-down space
Mouths were opened here once
There was a band on
Hear the buzzing of the empty halls
Or all rooms that are empty
At any point in time, sigh
Ah
Once you played in empty bars
Performing for the beer tap
And the pool tables
Nobody giving you their card
Because you have potential
Almost nothing interrupting ideas
Jittering in the jiggers
They sound like the way to another
Now you go to thе afterlife
You've hеard good things about it
But the embers are cooling
And the spirit's
Are just names plus one
And you see tagged-over
Posters with faces out of frame
Boarded up windows
That watch you walk away
All things abandoned are following your steps
Associating from space to emptiness
(Trees, sticks, rocks)
Tagged-over posters with faces out of frame
(Bamboo leaf, bamboo leaf again
And the branch, the branch, the pine cones)
Boarded up windows
That watch you walk away
(And the birds in the distance
Gum, gum, gum, cigarette butts)
All things abandoned are following your steps
(Candy wrapper, a button, a slug
Shoes came here, and here, and here)
Associating from space to emptiness

And the pine cones
And the sticks, and the rocks
And the bamboo leaf

And then the branch
The branch, the branch, the branch

Pine cones and the birds in the distance
Gum, gum, gum
Cigarette butts
Candy wrapper
A button, a slug
Shoes came here, and here, and here
Someone once lay down here
But the trees
And the pine cones
