The second song on I See a Darkness, Will Oldham explores the nomadic wanderings of his mind. Rather than shy away from the thoughts that enter his brain, he embraces them. The chorus reinforces this idea by claiming that the mind is kept together by moving all around.
[Verse 1]
Today was one where, lost in thought
I really feel I am
Losing not an ounce of what
You see in me, my lamb
[Verse 2]
If you're not with me tomorrow
That would be the worst
I'm glad I dreamed of what I dream of
Today a thing was burst
[Chorus]
Oh, all around
Oh, all around
It's kept together
Moving all around
Oh, all around
Oh, all around
It's kept together
Moving all around
[Verse 3]
My brain it beams, it's here at all
And living, I must work
To make our lives here justified
And not let trouble lurk
[Verse 4]
Instead of seeing monkeys biting
I lay on the ground
While my hectic travelling partner
Wanders all around
[Chorus]
Oh, all around
Oh, all around
It's kept together
Moving all around
Oh, all around
Oh, all around
It's kept together
Moving all around
[Bridge]
Oh, all around a left buttock
And all around the right
All around your every curve
I'm going to go tonight
But only hold me, hold me
All the city's on me
And all their wish to scold me
And lay their hands upon me
So only hold me, hold me
And I'll return you baby
I just need an evening
With someone nice to hide me
[Chorus]
Oh, all around
Oh, all around
It's kept together
Moving all around
Oh, all around
Oh, all around
It's kept together
Moving all around
