Ingydar was the name of my great-aunt Becky’s horse, who passed away when I was a kid. But the song itself, I have to say, it isn’t really about that horse. That was just a fragment from the pool of ideas, or colors that I wove into the song, but yeah. “Everything eats and is ea...
[Verse 1]
Fragilely, gradually and surrounding
The horse lies naked in the shed
Evergreen anodyne decompounding
Flies draw sugar from his head
[Pre-Chorus]
His eyes are blueberries, video screens, Minneapolis schemes
And the dried flowers from books half-read
The juice of dark cherries cover his chin
The dog walks in and the crow lies in his jaw like lead
[Chorus]
Everything eats and is eaten

[Verse 2]
Early еvening, the pink ring swallows
The sphеrical marigold terrain
Sleepily, Venus sinks and hollows
The stationed headlight of a plane
[Pre-Chorus]

With fixtures fracture varyingly
The juice of dark cherries cover my skin
Six years in, no baby
[Chorus]

Ingydar bares a scar like a meteor
Crystalline amber guilds her cheek
Tambourine of the beech leaves lead her
To the raven playing hide and seek
[Pre-Chorus]
Drying blueberries, figurines
And the angel leans at the head of the bed
The juice of dark cherries cover her chin
The dog walks in and the crow lies in his smile like lead
[Chorus]
Everything eats and is eaten, time is fed
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten
Everything eats and is eaten

I was imagining everything being swallowed by the mouth of time, and just the cyclical-ness of everything feeding off of everything else. It’s like the simple example of a body decomposing and going into the dirt, and then the worm eating the dirt, and the bird eating the worm, and then the hawk or...
