“Mora” was one of the more notable tracks on Sonny Moore’s (less notable) self-titled and self-produced album, “Sonny”; this album represented a transitional era between his work with punk band From First to Last and his better known work as EDM bigwig Skrillex.
The lyrics are cryptic, but are wide...
[Verse 1]
Take a step off of that silver bird from your planet
And you brought a little bit of that cold with you
Now wring me out like you would your bastarding father
And you're so quick to stick to that scum, hungry like a piranha
[Chorus]
Swallow a little of that sea
Now taste a little bit of that salt in me
Throw up a little of it on your knees
Now doesn't that bring you back to the beginning?
Before you poured your elements away
Now sink back to the bottom of it all
[Verse 2]
Seal your lips with the black stitch of a secret
Parade with that speechless dryness of the desert air
Lay flat, under the limelight and feed off all the fiction
Cold, callous, and boiled
Between the bleak deep of your dirty hands
Kiss your son, now kiss your Bible
You know I never wanted to see your screams
Oh, I just won't believe it
[Chorus]
Swallow a little of that sea
Now taste a little bit of that salt in me
Throw up a little of it on your knees
Now doesn't that bring you back to the beginning?
Before you poured your elements away
Now sink back to the bottom of it all
[Bridge]
You're sinking, you're sinking!
[Chorus]
Swallow a little of that sea
Now taste a little bit of that salt in me
Throw up a little of it on your knees
Now doesn't that bring you back to the beginning?
Before you poured your elements away
Now sink back to the bottom of it all
[Outro]
Before you poured your elements away
Now, sink back to the bottom of it all
