Apple, Fiona - Carrion Lyrics






Won't do no good
To hold no seance
What's gone is gone and
You can't bring it back around
Won't do no good
To hold no searchlight
You can't illuminate
What time has anchored down
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone away)

Won't do no good
To sing no love song
No sound could simulate
The presence of a man
Won't do no good
Asking no questions
Your divination should
Acquaint you with the plan

Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone away)

My feel for you, boy
Is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion
Of a murdered pery
And all I want is
To save you, honey
You can't intimidate me
Back into your arms

Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone a)
Oh, honey
(I've gone away)

My feel for you, boy
Is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion
Of a murdered prey
And all I want is
To save you, honey
Or the strength
To walk away

My feel for you, boy
Is decaying in front of me
Like the carrion
Of a murdered prey
And all I want is
To save you, honey
Or the strength
To walk away

    Lyrics

    Won't do no good 
    To hold no séance
    What's gone is gone, 
    And you can't bring 
    It back around
    Won't do no good 
    To hold no searchlight
    You can't illuminate what 
    Time has anchored down

    Oh, 
    Honey, 
    I've gone away
    Honey, 
    I've gone away
    I've gone away

    Won't do no good to 
    Sing no love song
    No sound could simulate 
    The presence of a man
    Won't do no good 
    Asking no questions
    Your divination should
    Acquaint you with the plan

    Oh, 
    Honey, 
    I've gone away
    Honey, 
    I've gone away
    I've gone away

    My feel for you boy 
    Is decaying in front of me
    Like the carrion 
    Of a murdered prey
    And all I want is 
    To save you honey
    Or the strength to walk away

    Won't do no good 
    To go no distance
    The space between us is 
    As boundless as the dark
    Won't do no good to 
    Throw no fist babe
    You can't intimidate me 
    Back into your arms

    Because honey, 
    I've gone away
    I've gone away
    I've gone away
    I've gone away
    I've gone away
    I've gone away

    My feel for you boy, 
    Is decaying in front of me
    Like the carrion 
    Of a murdered prey
    And all I want is 
    To save you honey
    Or the strength to walk away
    My feel for you boy, 
    Is decaying in front of me
    Like the carrion 
    Of a murdered prey
    And all I want is 
    To save you honey
    Or the strength to walk away
    Oh 
    My feel for you boy 
    Is decaying right in front of me
    Like the carrion of a, 
    A murdered prey
    And all I want is 
    To save you honey
    Or the strength to walk away

  11. J.... B....

    That Fiona was mad!" - Chris Rock

  12. j.... t....

    She is such an excellent song writer. I hate to use the word genius since that word gets thrown around way too much on the wrong people, but she is fucking genius.

  13. A.... B....

    Tidal is life ! 🌊 ❤️️🙌🏽

  14. T.... R....

    To be stuck between a want to stay and fix what's left and a want to leave because there is no fixing what's left is a hell I can finally understand.

  15. m.... m....

    Margo Reis as boundless as the dark

  17. i.... ....

    i wish sia and fiona would do a duet

    i.... ....

    iconocast YES! Image that. It would be extremely amazing. I love all 5 of her albums. Yes her 6th and 7th albums are good. But man Sia's albums 1-5 were very good and I hope she returns to that style.

    I love her old style more.

  18. T.... H....

    Never insult a genius!

  19. M.... M....

    I definitely hear piano concerto no. 4 influence. 16 years of loving this track, thank you kindly Fiona!

  20. n.... ....

    I almost contain how much i want fiona's voice and soulfulness when she sings. i emulate it in my house all damn day.

  21. E.... S....

    Elle était une chanteuse exceptionnelle; c'est un tristesse qu'elle ne chantera plus. :(

  22. w.... s....

    Too clever!

  23. C.... M....

    She wrote all her music and lyrics @ 17 years old, bad ass bitch

    C.... M....

    She's a bitch? Didn't realize that.

  24. C.... M....

    Deep and incredibly impressive

  25. p.... m....

    Fiona Apple the affair

    p.... m....

    lol much more...

  26. J.... S....

    Imagine fiona apple was a character played by carol lombard and everything all the girls we ever wished for we true.

    J.... S....

    men imagine while girls get things done.

    J.... S....

    men imagine while girls get things done.

    J.... S....

    men imagine while girls get things done.

    J.... S....

    what did you say?

  27. J.... S....

    There's not a stank. It's all in your mind, Honey. Let me take you to the dance and a way from this this thing.

  28. b.... ....

    @mallek1989 As far as I know Fiona wrote all her own music.

    b.... ....

    She work with a producer but composes and plays the piano all the melodies are written by her

    b.... ....

    @Jose Hernandez So, how much of her music is actually written by her Producers?

    b.... ....

    Honestly I don't know a quick search on the wiki returns that she is credited as the sole song writer. But production can entails many things including coveting a melody into something that can be played by some other instrumentalist deciding which instruments would best express the themes of the song and so on. Still if you here Fiona speak about the recording process she is very jealous of the products created in those recording sessions.

    b.... ....

    Jose Hernandez why would she be jealous she plays as flawless live.

  29. a.... ....

    Fiona Apple and Jon Brion made some good s**t, amirite?

  30. A.... F....

    I LUV THIS SONG !!!!!!

  31. A.... ....

    Some things get better with time

  32. J.... D....

    tidal is an excellent album

  33. S.... G....

    i bought this on cassette when i was like 16 and im 28 now and i still love it truly a classic album .

    S.... G....

    It sure is...I remember seeing 'shadowboxer' on MTV at 6:00 am waiting to go to school. I was in 5th grade or something. Fiona was absolutely my first celebrity crush.

    S.... G....

    I love her so much. Ughhhhh

  34. L.... N....

    She is good. Her mind and word play alone is enough to make me want to bang her.

    L.... N....

    can you shut the fuck up

  35. p.... ....

    haha apparently...

  36. H.... ....

    That girl is bad! No one is making music like that now. I've been a fan ever since.

  37. S.... S....

    I had this song stuck in my head for several months during a breakup. It made for an excellent sound track.

  38. s.... ....

    2 best things from the 90's nine inch nails and Fiona apple

  39. t.... ....

    Fiona Apple is a singer-songwriter. She writes all of her music. She's much more than a vocalist.

    t.... ....

    And she played that music also in many cases using the piano.

  40. m.... ....

    Who ever wrote and produced this music is absolutely amazing. Fiona Apple is a great vocalist as well.

  41. M.... J....

    Fiona Apple is my description of phenomenal.

  42. M.... D....

    Am i the only one who taught this was a parkway drive cover

  43. b.... ....

    Thank you. I was mistaken.

  44. A.... ....

    I am an actioned operative with years of experience. The song is about carrion. Sometimes you walk up to a wild kill in the middle of the winter. Picture a beast already eviserated by preadators. A definate time of death hasn't been established but if it is cold enough, there quality meat to be found to those with the knowledge to process it. You are right, I'm just preaching here. Pay me no mind, unless you care about survival. BTW the internet is much bigger than my mind.

    A.... ....

    way to be literal dude. ever heard of a metaphor?

    A.... ....

    @scarlit I'm pretty sure his response was in jest. :-)

  45. b.... ....

    Did you get on Youtube to talk to road kill in your mind again? I thought we discussed that - how it makes the people around you feel uncomfortable, remember?

  46. b.... ....

    It's got to be "carrion of a bird of prey," not 'murdered prey.'

    b.... ....

    It's "murdered" for sure

  47. A.... ....

    I have done good with apparent carrion. I am a survialist after all. Ruminents that perish during the winter are often times good near the core of the spine. The best meat resides there. I am an experienced butcher so I can find he quality meat. Don't you know it will be be delivered in somthing useable to the pallate. Surviable trumps all. God love subzero temps. I will find you and consome you. You will not go to waste.

  48. M.... H....

    One of the best sets of lyrics ever written. (and still nothing compared to Shadowboxer)

  49. J.... E....

    aplausos!!

  50. T.... M....

    And all I want is to save you, honey
    Or the strength to walk away
    ... ugh, my feelings at this exact moment.

  51. M.... E....

    looking at it again it may be her hand in the water, but even if so that is amazing what it looks like.

  52. M.... E....

    has anyone noticed the reflection of her in the water. looks like some creature. is that supposed to be there making a statement since this is a freezeframe or pic from criminal. Or am i just discovering this after others knew. because if it is not intended and you look at it, it is scarey.

  53. k.... t....

    The instrumentals on the back end of this song is so perfect it's scary!

  54. k.... t....

    @MansyMcMans
    OMG isn't it? I love so much!

  55. L.... ....

    I lost my virginity to this song...I was 15...she was 19.
    I didn't want to do it, but I went along with it anyway.
    Naturally, I wish i didn't.....
    I didn't know who she was at the time, but I fell in love with this song and album due to the emotional connection established through that affair...

    ...every now and then I play the album, this song in particular and I still get chills and flashbacks.

    Truly a beautiful song from a great artist.

    L.... ....

    Not cute! Never feel like you can't walk away. "No" and "stop" and gtfo. I'm sorry that was how that happened for you.

  56. H.... ....

    take a bite out of me!!! Hold a party for thee!! have a slice of pizzaz for you!!! Storms a coming!!! The storm of the mudered prey of the circle of light....

  57. c.... ....

    take a walk on the w.s.

  58. A.... ....

    Cult bitch.

  59. A.... ....

    Happy Birthday Fiona... I love you Fiona....carry on.

  60. L.... S....

    "My feel for you, boy, is decaying in front of me, like the carrion of a murdered prey. And all I want is to save you, honey , or the strength to walk away." So powerful.
