Song lyrics
Eyeless in the morning sun you were
pale and mild,
a modern girl.
Taken with thought still proned to care
making tea in your underwear.
You went out in the yard to find
something to eat and clear your mind 
and something bad inside me went away.

Quaking leaves and broken light ,
shifting skin,
the coming night ,
the bearers of all good things arrive. 
Climb inside us twist and cry.
A kiss on your molten eyes,
myriad lives like blades of grass,
yet to be realized.
Bow as they pass.

They are cold- still,
waiting in the ether to form- feel,
kill, propagate, only to die.

They are cold- still, 
waiting in the ether to form- feel,
kill, propagate, only to die. 
Dissolve... magically, absurdly, they'll end,
leave... dissipate, coldly and strangely return.

"...Climb inside us twist and cry/A kiss on your molten eyes/Myriad lives like blades of grass/
yet to be realized/Bow as they pass..."
Simple, intimate album-closer. Delicately plucked acoustic guitar. Haunting lyrics.

Gorgeous, amazing, etc.
I get what it's about in general, but can anyone explain the meaning of the lyrics?

Everytime I hear this song I think about salmon. They come back to their birth place to lay eggs and then they die.

One of my favourite songs by them. Love it. So much. <3

Especially this part...

They are cold- still,
waiting in the ether to form- feel,
kill, propagate, only to die.
