In an interview with Submerge Magazine, when asked about the story behind the song, George Clarke replied with the following:
Long story short, I saw a homeless man being attacked in Downtown L.A. for holding up traffic. A man got out of his car and accosted him for no reason. This guy was clearly...
With all life profane
The ladles cradling
Streams of buttermilk
Current stretch out
And alabaster lips unseal
So I may recall
The soft timbre of
Whisper in its stillness
Still
Alabaster lips unseal
So I may recall
I may recall
The soft timbre of
Whisper in its stillness
Still
Now
When a fawn
Stumbles into the road
Honeydew high
And deep in afterglow
Mind swarming
Mind small
Honeydew high
Transforming the soul
On purple sand verbena
I forgive its delusion
Caress its world view
Super bloom
Shelter canary yellow eyes
Then search to pin the legs
Of the stalking dog
That lends its teeth
To sticky, sad bedlam
War cries quake through lurching light
I bury a blade between its ribs
Bear hug the soft canine frame
Then smear ash
Then smear the ash on its brow
All who have forgotten
Remember now
Remember now
Now
Now
