« The Merge » is Birthing’s sixth entry, and one of the most challenging tracks of this era of their music’s history.
A very contrasted sound collage of harsh noise sections, crispy drums, a distorted bass groove, found sounds and samples, drony wall of guitars… And finally, to end on a calmer note...
The Merge Lyrics
[Intro: Sample]
I love you mommy
[Instrumental Section]
(Whistling)
[Sample]
Erste, zwei, drei, vier, eight, sechs, sieben, ocht, neun
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two
Erste, zwei, drei, vier, eight, sechs, sieben, ocht, neun, zehn!
[Instrumental Section]
(Vocalizing)
[Verse 1]
Now, a light grows inside
Painting shadows, under skin
Spreading slowly in a tide
Flooding fingers, limbs, sealing eyes
[Refrain]
(Ah, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na...)
[Verse 2]
And here, is a forest
And here, is a stone
Right here, are the marks they made
I still hear them, they still call
They sing through me, they still sing
[Refrain]
(Ah, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na...)
[Verse 3]
And I, I will wander, in a lake, under water
Where the jewels drift by me forever
Where their minds combine and silence is laughter
Where waking is dreaming, where motion is stillness
While I, I drift in the tides, in wonder, going under
[Outro]
Pom pom pom, pom, pom
Pom pom pom, pom, pom
Pom pom pom, pom, pom
Pom pom pom, pom, pom
