This is the fourth song off Warren’s 2008 album The Scientist. Its cheerful tone and unsettling imagery contrast to create a juxtaposition that Warren masterfully weaves in and out of his lyrics.
[Verse 1]
Everybody here
Is a piece of a perfect sphere
And looking back in time
I can see that I'm becoming clear
I am entropy
Take my family tree, it's a trail of slime
Leading back in time
Down by the sea
[Chorus]
Shining like the sun over me
Crumblin' like the ground beneath my feet
Sittin' on a rock in the wind
Feeding bits of my skin to an anemone
Swallowing my tongue and my teeth
Choking on my fear and my grief
Sittin' on a rock by the sea
Feeding what's left of me to the creatures beneath
[Verse 2]
Every single day
A little warmth will slip away
Until the world is warmly
Uniformly dull and gray
That takes time
That's the reason I'm not all that scared
There's time to spare
Before we fade
[Chorus]
Shining like the sun over me
Crumblin' like the ground beneath my feet
Sittin' on a rock in the wind
Feeding bits of my skin to an anemone
Swallowing my tongue and my teeth
Choking on my fear and my grief
Sittin' on a rock by the sea
Feeding what's left of me to the creatures beneath
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Shining like the sun over me
Crumblin' like the ground beneath my feet
Sittin' on a rock in the wind
Feeding bits of my skin to an anemone
Swallowing my tongue and my teeth
Choking on my fear and my grief
Sittin' on a rock by the sea
Feeding what's left of me to the creatures beneath
