“Inferno” is the only collaboration on Sir Sly’s debut album, You Haunt Me.
A duet with Ms Mr’s Lizzy Plapinger, the song uses hell and other allusions to depict the confusion that comes with grappling a lover’s past. Considering the comparisons between the two, and how Sir Sly performed on the sam...
[Verse 1: Sir Sly]
I think you clipped my wings to save me from the sun
Forgot my hands and knees, I had to learn a lesson
Oh fearless teacher how'd I ever lose my sight
Why'd I ever try to fight against your path?
Somewhere at half my life, I wandered in the woods
Can't find a single right, I swear nothing is good
I'm blinded now and darkness shrouds my every sight
Why'd I ever try to fight for my own path?
[Chorus: Sir Sly]
I don't know why
I must be out of my mind
Know I'm going, going, going, gone
Going, going, going, gone
I don't know why
I must be out of my mind
I'm just going, going, going, gone
Going, going, going on my own
[Verse 2: Lizzy Plapinger]
A leopard, lion, wolf, and mountain in my way
I'm coming up for light and I'm coming out that cave
Only a prodigal could understand my life
Why'd I ever try to fight against your path?
I go through hell and back and try to find my place
The poet shows me how I had to fall from grace
The devil stares me down he’s trapped himself in ice
Why'd I ever try to fight for my own path?
[Chorus: Sir Sly]
I don't know why
I must be out of my mind
Know I'm going, going, going, gone
Going, going, going, gone
I don't know why
I must be out of my mind
I'm just going, going, going, gone
Going, going, going on my own
[Bridge]
Going on my own...
[Chorus: Both]
I don't know why
I must be out of my mind
Know I'm going, going, going, gone
Going, going, going, gone
I don't know why
I must be out of my mind
I'm just going, going, going, gone
Going, going, going on my own
[Outro: Sir Sly]
I think you clipped my wings to save me from the sun
Forgot my hands and knees, I had to learn a lesson
