alt-J - Tessellate Lyrics






Bite chunks out of me
You're a shark and I'm swimming
My heart still thumps as I bleed
And all your friends come sniffing

Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go, my love; it's very late
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate

Go alone my flower
And keep my whole lovely you
Wild green stones alone my lover
And keep us on my heart

Three guns and one goes off
One's empty, one's not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins

Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Blubber rich in mourning, they'll nosh you up
Yes, they'll nosh the love away but it's fair to say
You will still haunt me

Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let's go my love; it's very late
'Til morning comes, let's tessellate

  2. A.... B....

    Bite chunks out of me
    You're a shark and I'm swimming
    My heart still thumps as I bleed
    And all your friends come sniffing

    Triangles are my favorite shape
    Three points where two lines meet
    Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
    My love, it's very late
    'Til morning comes
    Let's tessellate

    Go alone my flower
    And keep my whole lovely you
    Wild green stones, alone my lover
    And keep us on my heart

    Three guns and one goes off
    One's empty, one's not quick enough
    One burn, one red, one grin
    Search the graves while the camera spins
    Chunks of you will sink down to seals
    Blubber rich in mourning
    They'll nosh you up, yes, they'll nosh the love away
    But it's fair to say, you will still haunt me

    Triangles are my favorite shape
    Three points where two lines meet
    Toe to toe, back to back, let's go
    My love, it's very late
    'Til morning comes
    Let's tessellate

  38. k.... s....

    On a green dot....the dead are caught rolling face up or face down. Just like I said they would. They think they are bad as fuck. But I'm laughing my ass off. The difference is if your made a strait sheet of ice connecting the stars. Then you know, follow me.

    k.... s....

    Green goblins do it better than a troll that goes.

    k.... s....

    Now I can't find my keys. Got devil tears on my front door. And no I'm not removing it. Let it cry. Its ok. I'm not disgusted by it. Its when you put salt in the wound that I hate.

    k.... s....

    Gluttony to keep it to yourself.

    k.... s....

    I left. I leave. I don't go. And if I do its Solomon's fault. Read it. He moves my ass around.

    k.... s....

    You two have some kind of wonder thing going. I can't tell If its a team thing or a trap thing.

  39. K.... K....

    Is it a very good band, when you visit Mexico? I would like to go to a presentation.

  42. A.... ....

    I never realized theres a copy of each person in the video throughout different sections

  43. b.... a....

    I realized now, from where was Maddy Perez from Euphoria so familiar to me, she looks like the girl in the white dress in this video.

    b.... a....

    Omg I was thinking this too. The pony tail along w/ the general face structure favors Maddy so well

  44. E.... B....

    What is Lil Nas X doing in minute 1:10 ?

  45. D.... ....

    This is a reference to a famous painting by a ninja turtle named raphael !

  46. T.... A....

  47. R.... H....

    Ohhh. Wow. It looks like the thoughts in my head congregating...🤣

  48. A.... S....

    Stay woke, fellas.

  49. Z.... ....

    "Three guns, and one goes off. Ones empty, ones not quick enough." Is that a reference to Clint Eastwood's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly? The cemetery scene, where Eli Wallace and Lee Van Cleef faced off with "Blondie"? If I remember correctly, Eastwood unloaded Eli's pistol before they reached the cemetery where they were confronted by Lee Van Cleef? Eastwood only went for Lee Van Cleef, since he knew Eli's pistol was Empty..!

    I really love the song, but the video is so judgemental...

  88. L.... C....

    Not entirely sure he knows what a triangle is... "3 points where 2 lines meet" kind of ruins this for me :(

    L.... C....

    Lucas Carl Pauling he’s right you know

    L.... C....

  89. A.... ....

    I love how the beginning of the video is basically the anime opening, the looked at this video and copied it a bit.
