This song begins with very nice sound vocoder vocals that are unintelligible. The form of the song being a procession, it is almost like depicting Hippolytus’s death satirically as a wedding ceremony or funeral procession where he is still alive being dragged by the chariot.

[Verse 1: Julia Holter]
Could you shift my weight a little (Ah)
What I most want (What I most want)
What I have spoken aloud (I've spoken aloud)
And prop my head
Spoken aloud (Straighter?)
Is eating me
[Chorus 1: Julia Holter]
Ah! What I most want (Alive)
What I have spoken aloud
Is eating me alive
[Verse 2: Julia Holter]
Hold me up by my wrists, please
My delicate wrists
My hair loose down
Let my hair loose down my shoulders
Something has melted in my limbs
[Chorus 1: Julia Holter]
Ah, what I most want
What I have spoken aloud
Is eating me alive
[Verse 2: Julia Holter]
Hold me up by my wrists, please
My delicate wrists
The combs, take them off, please
Let my hair loose down my shoulders
Something has melted in my limbs
[Chorus 1: Julia Holter]
Ah, what I most want
What I have
Spoken aloud is eating me alive
[Verse 2: Julia Holter]
Hold me up by my wrists, please
My delicate wrists
What I most want (What I most want)
[Chorus 2: Julia Holter & Choir, Choir, Julia Holter]
All leave in silence
All leave in silence
All leave in silence (All leave in silence)
All leave in silence (All leave)
(Ah!) All leave in silence (All leave in silence)
[Verse 1: Julia Holter]
Could you shift my weight a little
What I most want (What I most want)
What I have spoken aloud (I've spoken aloud)
And prop my head straighter?
[Outro: Julia Holter]
What I most want
What I have spo—
Is eating me alive
What I have spoken aloud
Is eating me alive
Ah, what I most want
