ANOHNI - Why Did You Separate Me From The Earth? Lyrics






Why did you separate me from the earth?
Oh my god
Why did you separate me from the earth?
My father

You drew lines miles high
In steel or nuclear
The forests of Borneo
White water in your mouth
I don’t want your future
I’ll never return
I’ll be born into the past
I’m never coming home

Why did you separate me, me from the earth?
What did you stand to gain?
Why did you separate me from the earth?

The rotten bodies threaded gold
The pitch of hair and sticky meat
The sea life cut with plastic
A white cross gilded gold
A case of white doves
Laying in the boiling snow
A sharp knife of concrete
The blue line of tuna’s throat

I don’t want your future
I’m never, I'm never coming home
I don’t want your future
I’ll be born before you’re born

Why did you separate me, me from the earth?
What did you have to gain?
Why did you separate me from the earth?
What did you have to gain?
Why did you separate me from the earth?
(From the earth, from the earth, from the earth)
What did you have to gain?

    I joked with my daughter's the children may have the sports oval between 1 am and 5 am in the morning My daughter joked with me and took the children out to play on the sports oval between these time. And black ops came and killed the children because is was their play time , they how ever were not joking.

  4. M.... C....

    We are not seem people , we do not play children's games except with the children. You do not have a blanket ? You have no children ? What is your lack of understanding dear ?

  5. M.... C....

    You are not separated from the earth. The earth has terrorised, you are now on a broken part of the earth . I will heal the earth back together. You are very childish. Why do you fear being in depth space on a broken part of the earth, with will soon be brought home ? Why do you fear ?

  6. M.... C....

    You have no choice honey. We are not a walk people .

  7. M.... C....

    The earth has been terrorised and is in many separate parts. Will 41 years to put the earth bs CV k to get her.

  8. B.... W....

    Show your face are you embarrassed?

    B.... W....

    A lot of artists feel liberated when their face is hidden while they perform, as they don't have to worry about what they look like. Anohni is one of those people. Another reason why artists do that is to separate their appearances from their music, as their personal lives and faces are not their music. The Knife does this as well. It can either be a preference or a statement.

    RIP Pete Burns

    I loved the music, but I didn't find to download! Can anyone help me?😁

  11. s.... f....

    I like individuality and interesting, intriguing self expressions.

  12. J.... T....

    Awesome. Poetry. The way she moves in the climax.. my soul is overwhelmed.

  13. J.... S....

    My current mood.

  14. J.... L....

    stunning

  15. F.... D....

    As we move through the Far Right upswing everywhere, we'll need intersectionality and compassion. We'll need artists like Anohni. There are so many revolutions yet to imagine.

    Intersectionality is a victim complex and terrible justification for marxism. It's precursor. Do look into how communist worked out for more info on why your equality of outcome is a death wish. Hard to criticize nazis when you're basically just the either side of the horseshoe.

    F.... D....

    Too right. Times of divide. Intersectionality and compassion are the antidote.

    F.... D....

    @Osiir Who is talking about communism here, beyond you? The world that I wish is not far right or far left. Is more to the center of the politic spectrum. The fact that we are moving to the right and far right, is a real and dangerous problem.

  16. s.... ....

    WOW FUCKING WOW !!!!

    s.... ....

    So why did it wow you? Please share your thoughts.

  17. H.... l....
