In “Cannibal Resource,” Dave Longstreth contemplates what it means to be human. It is an energetic introduction to what many praise as Dirty Projectors' most cohesive, agreeable, and well-received record.
Dave’s lyrics evoke a sense of yearning for humanity to appreciate the beauty of life and ceas...
[Verse 1]
Look around at everyone
Everyone looks alive and waiting
The wind is up, the stars are out
The sun is calm, the light is fading
But we are
[Chorus]
Still counting on cannibal resource
OK, open your eyes
I think you're more than a terrified witness
Behind the arbitrary line
[Verse 2]
Can it ask a question?
Can it sing a melody?
Can it be interpreted?
But is it more than what the eye can see?
Maybe not
[Chorus]
Still counting on cannibal resource
OK, open your eyes
I think you're more than a terrified witness
Behind the arbitrary line
[Bridge]
I'm cryin'
I'm cryin'
[Chorus]
Still counting on cannibal resource
OK, open your eyes
I think you're more than a terrified witness
Behind the arbitrary line
The arbitrary line
The arbitrary line
The arbitrary line
