“Dolphin,” the first song previewed on Panda Bear’s “Buoys,” is concerned with an honest appraisal of a friend or lover. The narrator promises to always be there and find and help this particular person in any situation, even among the “frustrated” and “vile” crowd of which they are both a part.
[Verse 1]
To the sea
To the end of the road
Could it be?
Has it always been so, so quiet?
I would always be there when you need it
Wanna give you a hand
Gonna creep
Gonna switch off the screen, un-blinded
And I'll always find you
Knelt down upon the knee
[Verse 2]
To the end
To the things that we see
Clever bend
As a cat up a tree, so spry
In the space between
Comparisons to you
To the edge of a cliff
Us, the odd
Us, the frustrated crowd, so vile
Let it all define you
A clown among the thieves
To the end
