This song reads like a meditation on death, love, and reincarnation.
The imagery of “limbs disconnect” and the “scythe in its sheath” personifies mortality, while the repeated plea of “don’t cry, we’re bound together” emphasizes eternal connection beyond physical loss.

The Scythe Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It'll take you too, mm
Take a long time
Limbs'll disconnect, mm
Like the phone lines
Keep the water on, mm
Keep it running
I'm in the other room, mm
Nothing happened
[Pre-Chorus]
Make it quick, make it quick
Make it quick so I can't see the scythe in its sheath
[Chorus]
Don't cry, we're bound together
Each life runs its course
I'll see you in the next one
Next time, I know you'll call
[Verse 2]
I'll put your record on, mm
Keep it spinning
Under the LEDs, mm
'Til I'm seasick
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Nothing lasts, I know I've seen the scythe in its sheath
[Chorus]
Don't cry, we're bound together
Each life runs its course
I'll see you in the next one
Next time, I know you'll call
[Bridge]
Next time you call, I'll be your girl
You'll be in silk, and I'll wear my furs
We can go out, I feel your mouth
Open me up, butcher my heart
Please let me die on the street where you live
[Chorus]
Don't cry, lie here forever
Let life run its course
I'll be here in the next one
Next time, you know I'll call
Don't cry, we're bound together
Each life runs its course
I'll see you in the next one
Next time, I know you'll call
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Don't cry, we're bound together
Each life runs its course
I'll see you in the next one
Next time, I know you'll call

Abigail Morris:
This song began 9 years ago, like a prophecy. I wrote it before I had known anything of grief or heartbreak, how a relationship ending feels exactly the same as that person dying. Once you know how it feels to lose someone you enter a new realm from which you can never return. You’r...
