This is the second song on Little Dragon’s fourth studio album, Nabuma Rubberband.
It seems to be about committing or wanting to commit suicide to escape strife.
Here’s a cool video featuring the song.
[Verse 1]
Corridor lies with the river run watery eyes
I stand waitin' for my turn, determined to rise
The spirits blew around like a hurricane whip
The girls who melt like my ice cream drip
[Chorus]
Somebody from his head said
You can turn off and feel better
When everything's clear like cold weather
Go feel better, feel better
Somebody from my heart said
I could turn off and never wake up
When everything's clear, my breath made
Like steam fade, feel better
[Refrain]
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
[Verse 2]
Finally they called my name
The ghost inside come wake us to life
Making my chair do flips
Giving into this, we’ll be safe every time
Fallin' through the floor on my broken butterfly wing
Gimme me one more, the girl from the corridor sing, she sing
[Pre-Chorus]
"I hear you want it, don’t you?"
"I know you want it, don’t you? Don’t you?"
"I see you want it, don't you?"
"I know you want it, don't you? Don't you?"
[Refrain]
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
[Chorus]
Somebody from his head said
You can turn off and feel better
When everything's clear like cold weather
Go feel better, feel better
Somebody from my heart said
I could turn off and never wake up
When everything's clear, my breath made
Like steam fade, feel better
[Bridge]
Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it?
Do you? Do you? (She says) Do you? Do you?
Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it? Do you want it?
Do you? Do you? (She says) Do you? Do you?
[Refrain]
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
Fallin' apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
