Blonde Redhead - SW Lyrics

Atom heart mother anyone?

Oh it's not, it's not what you give
But it's what you kept
Oh it's not, it's not who you kill
But it's who you left

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

Oh it's not, it's not how you speak
But it's what you said
Oh it's not, it's not what you seek
But it's what you have

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

Oh it's not, it's not what it seems
It's not what it seems
It's not, it's not what you leave
But it's what you hold

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

south west

Reminds me alot of HBOs Chernobyl series..

The best

I cannot describe my feelings when i listen to this song...

"Its not what it seems!"

It's not, it's not what you give but it's what you kept
It's not, it's not who you kill but it's who you left

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am ...

It's not, it's not how you speak but it's what you said
It's not, it's not what you seek but it's what you have

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am...

It's not, it's not what it seems ... It's not what it seems
It's not, it's not what you leave but it's what you hold

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am ...

This track is so amazingly peculiar... the part with the trombone reminds me of that beautiful strangeness you can only find on a few records from the 70ies, such as Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother", the Serge Gainsbourg's uncontested masterpiece "histoire de Melody Nelson", and also "Rock Bottom" by Robert Wyatt; all those albums contain arrangements similar to the ones we can find here. It's a kind of emotional palette that is so deeply connected to the subconscious of a whole era that you normally can't reproduce that particular emotion in modern times. I guess Blonde Redhead are living in a typical italian town coming right out of a Fellini movie... untouched by the erosion of time... 😆💓💞💗

S.E.L. 25 so true, so true!

Reminds me of "God only knows" by Beach boys lol

Super cool someone else made the connection

Breaks my heart. Beautifull.

"SW"

It's not, it's not what you give but it's what you kept
It's not, it's not who you kill but it's who you left

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am ...

It's not, it's not how you speak but it's what you said
It's not, it's not what you seek but it's what you have

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am...

It's not, it's not what it seems ... It's not what it seems
It's not, it's not what you leave but it's what you hold

I am I am running in my head
I am I am lying on my left
I am I am growing in my bed
I am I am ...

its not who u kill but its who you love?

I think it's "loved"

Definitely "Left". All the lyrics are based on those very obvious opposites while expressing a wide spectrum of implications...
