While Feels isn't my favorite AC record sonically, Avey excels at romantic imagery. Hard to pick a single favorite (and honestly, because the lyrics are so impressionistic, I think they mostly work much better animated by Avey's vocal performances than on paper).

But basically, all of "Purple Bottle".

Aww

That either way you look at it,
You have your fits,
I have my fits,
But feeling is good

[reverendloch]

Better drink it all
If I can have it
I need mouth water

Some people's lives awake to itsy-bitsy I'm-so-sorry's
The branch breaks, you crack a window and the wind might say
"The birds are calling for you please don't follow..."

Oh my sweet goodness wish you could be here every time
But don't miss me goodness because I rub away every time
Then groan at the goodness but do you mean not every time
Then gone in the goodness wish I could stay here every time

[roopn]

And when our eyes will meet there
We will recognize nothing’s wrong
And I wouldn’t feel so selfish
I won’t be this way very long

[ImpendingPeacefish]

Gotham is so crushing.

"Ahhhh, what were we singing?
Ahhhh, I can't believe this goodbye

My choice to be there on time
It's not my choice to be there on time

And the thing about being apart
Is you just let life give you denial
It's not like you're given these feelings
All just set adrift in the mind"

[thespectrum]

The one i always sing from Gotham is 'is my ficus fiiiine, did you give it to much waaaaaaaaaaaterrr' <3

[dud]

When I'm old
And I'm feeling
Like not feeling
Like an old piece of bark
That's been thrown from the mold
Will I have grown to be so bold
To not fight it
And just pass on?
How will it make me feel?
Will I even like it?

[Fovrodi]

You find out that you can't ask a baby to cry

[fourthesoul]

Morbid, but i like:

When you are home you can do as you please
Some have homes in falling trees
One day our homes will all fall down
One day your body will be in the ground

What are y'all thoughts on Cuckoo Cuckoo's lyrics. I've always gone along the miscarriage interpretation but today I was thinking about it and realised it could be about the death of childhood. As in, Avey singing about his childhood self as if it was a dead child. This is an Avey motif though so there's every chance it's been said a million times before.

And I think My Girls is about Noah's family.

[primelchen]

i could see cuckoo cuckoo being about either of those - hard to say which one for sure though. i actually came here to share one of my favorite lyrics and it's from that song! "no heart flutters in late spring" really gets to me...i feel like i know that feeling so well of heart flutters in late spring. ahhhhhh. and you gotta be going through some really sad stuff to not feel those heart flutters at that magical time of year

[destiny]

i think it i about depersonilization and anxiety..."he woke and ate and dreamt and dieeed..."scary stuff

[Tropic]

Life was good now death's all wrong
Cause you can't feel a thing
No heart flutters in late spring

Life is fine, then you have to start growing up, learning that things can die. You start to die a little inside, things that excited you as a child no longer have the same effect.

[He said] please stay
You can see me, don't go away
I can't see the landscape
Please describe its amaranthine haze

This is young Avey speaking to his older self.

It's odd where I am
There are people you're not like them
They just look away
For rain quenched golden days

Avey to younger self, describing adulthood.

And people gonna come and people gonna cry
He just woke and dreamt and ate and died

This really does sound like a funeral for a baby that only ever lived in the womb. Though of course he could simply be talking about his younger self.

Don't try and erase what you have done
Put your fingers in a mouth and kiss it if it wants

This sounds like Avey proudly remembering his childhood self. Kids generally put fingers and other things in and around their mouths even though they aren't supposed to. This sounds to me, like, remember what you were.

We're all going cuckoo cuckoo. We were normal when we were younger, it's growing up that makes us nuts.

[primelchen]

wowowowwwie love your interpretation so much. i really love that theme in the lyrics avey writes. it feels really important to be able to hold onto some aspects of your child self as we grow older, and he is so good at describing how those realizations feel

[terrestrialjane]

Yes thank you cans ... very nice to read ....

[destiny]

yoo.have u guys deciphered too soon..theres def lyrics..you can hear him saying TOO SOON!!!

[Tropic]

Thanks. My tears could quench five feet of lawn sounds like a child's grave as well maybe. I don't really know enough about graves to be sure hehe

[Our Tiny Servant]

Sometimes I'm naked and, thank God, sometimes you're naked. Well, hello!

[Our Tiny Servant]

But seriously so many lyrics from Feels just kill me.

[terrestrialjane]

Seriously !

To find suddenly, he is Jack the Ripper
Too suddenly, he was Jack the Ripper
There he goes...

Stop crying like a child
She stopped crying like a child
Jack the Ripper

has me in stitches every time I here it

[dud]

when i'm on my side
feeling what's so fine

face enough in stride
i can hold it down

feeling what's its size
falling up to ground
to ground
to ground

change of action
change as all things should

a little traction
a little ground would do me good

now you must go
and see what your eyes will go for
then you will know

now you must sing
sing what your voice was meant for
then you will know

i know that you'll be fine
that you'll feel warm

and i don't have to shine
to see where you're from

i feel right

watching from these evil chains
i'm chasing faults that i can't break
i'm chasing islands

my brother's on a foreign shore
i miss you man, i hope that shows

i'm not what holds you down

change of action
change as all things should

a little traction
a little water would do us good

so all i'm asking
is that these eyes won't mind the sight, looking out

[speen]

moo rah rah rain has chilling lyrics and that song is overlooked too often

[dud]

this gets me every time:

wanna always be thankful for
things i've done
when i'm done
wanna say yeah i'm thankful that
all the years
passed away

:')

Otherwise I've been dying for a while to know the lyrics of Song for Jerom of Avey.. I'm French so i can't understand shit on the videos .... If anyone has it, or a vague approximation of it, I would be the happiest

[dud]

just gave it a shot, here you go!

Have you seen him
from the air
Cast your eyes on ?????????
Would you say "oh no"
now his body's aching
???????????

still haven't found a way to give comfort to jerome
oh [if you] pass his way tell him he's not alone
still haven't found a way to give comfort to jerome
??????? oh seen his way ????????
i don't know what he needs

too many fishing lines
can't seem to find any open fangs
and when the scales refuse to shine
i breathe in UNO DOS TRES CUATRO

is he breathing?
check his pulse
i can hear him moving ??????????
oh what you say jerome
oh what you say jerome
oh what you say jerome
oh what you say jerome
someone tap me on the shoulder

still haven't found a way to give comfort to jermone
oh have him pass his way, tell him he's all alone
still have not found a way to give comfort to jermone
what can you do today to free your heart and soul
i dont know what he needs
too many fishing lines
can't seem to find any open fangs
and when the scales refuse to shine
i breathe in ONE TWO THREE FOUR

still have not found a way to give comfort to jermone
still have not found a way to give comfort to jermone
still have not found a way to give comfort to jermone
still have not found a way
no i still have not found a way to give comfort

All the things that I relate to well like goggles and paint tubes
Transparent paper wings that float above me while I sleep
To make the room more natural
