“Some Things Cosmic” is the fifth track from Angel Olsen’s debut EP, Strange Cacti.
The song serves as the poetic introduction for Olsen, with simple metaphors masking the deeper, more contemplative meaning.
[Verse 1]
Before we draw, my dear dear friend
I promise you my word
If we should part, my dear dear love
You know you’re in my heart
[Chorus]
And though I may be getting older
Know that I'm going with you
Know that I'm hanging on to the things that you said
The things that you said
[Verse 2]
I felt my soul rise up from my body
When I look into your blue eyes
If cosmic force is real at all
It’s come between you and I
[Chorus 2]
I want to be naked
I don’t mean my body
I don’t need my body
[Outro]
I’m floating away
I’m floating away
I’m floating away
