“It’s about death and grief and it’s supposed to feel like you’re having an existential crises / epiphany while doing a little dance in the basement of a Parisian night club which you only ran into because it was raining” – Jordan Stephens via Twitter @jordanfstephens
[Intro]
I died again just this evening
New path its time to move on
Say to send my love
I'm in a place where my name doesn't mean a thing
Right through the door where life begins
Calming oceans, karmic truths
Now I'm gone
Don't lose a part of you
Use my love to start anew
Put my heart in all that you do
And I'll be here, holding on to you
We can do
Whatever we want to do
Scream in grief
Or dance to old tunes
Nothing's lost
Now it's my energy
That's infinite too
Feel me in the way that you walk
Feel me hugging and feel me guide your way
The pain will ask to stay
[Chorus]
But promise you'll
Promise you'll shake
Promise you'll shake
Promise you'll shake
Promise you'll
Promise you'll shake
Promise you'll
Promise you'll shake
Promise you'll
Promise you'll shake
Shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Promise you'll shake
Shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
I'm trynna keep my soul alive
Live through the loving power of you
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than this life we're taught about
I'm trynna keep my soul alive
Live through the loving power of you
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than you
Promise you'll shake
Is death that deep?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Is death that deep?
Do we really believe
That we have a hand
In handling our dreams
Will we ever reach a point
Or lose our grip
On acting supreme?
We are armed to the teeth
With reasons why
We have more to say
Than a branch
Or a leaf
And yet
The promise of an empty field
Prove our only chance at relief
We are pylons
Livid living thing
That won't rest
Tone deaf to our own ringtones
Thinking if we own death
Our limbs won't be in limbo
That's the thing though
Our heads are heavy
And our shoulder blades wanna dance like blades of grass
We are green and plenty
Whenever we twist, wave and shake
We are only reminding ourselves of the unserved chord
Between us and the earth
Promise you'll shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Promise you'll shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Promise you'll shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Promise you'll shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Shake the pain away
Promise you'll shake
