Esperanza Spalding - 'Til The Next Full (eyes) Lyrics






Our eyeballs are hollow but presently hold shape
Around a gooey filling
Faculty of sight submerged in there
Tethered to sense-making mysteries
We have of course solved by now, technically
But that mystery is harder than my blurry comprehension
I barely touch an edge and it grinds my frame
Into another shape of seeing

I'm not sure what all this prescription's good for
But here, I give to you my lens
A gift of self brightens
Right before your eyes
Keep unwrapping it

Till source pours out your eye
And radiates x-ray like
To the heart behind the mask
Behind the mask, two pupils gleam there
Behind shielded entry points, to another being
Just within their learnt performance

Bowing in ovation, they then
Give to you their mirror
A gift to see yourself clearer
Right before your eyes
Keep unwrapping it

Till source pours out your eye
And radiates x-ray like
To the heart of the unseen
The unseen, two pupils gleam there
Your own shielded entry points
To the future, you are portals of sight in that vast mind

To see the magic all these hollow seeming nows contain
And see the magic all these hollow seeming nows contain

  1. b.... k....

    great .. "hipsta-music" .. >) ..

  2. N.... I....

    my sight couldn't be more thankful

  3. Z.... C....

    I adore you so much i just want to cry

  4. G.... A....

    Twelve little wells of golden ink
    Bone bottles stacked mouth to tail
    Arcing your back into the sand cloud
    Our thoughts underneath her skin
    Arctic to equator
    A pair of sympathetic ridges shift
    You've evolved to harness
    These constant eruptions
    Through vascular pennance
    Tectonic verse flows
    Riding again, again, again
    Again, again
    (They all can seem perfect)
    All floating a lucky heart over their palm
    Casual ribs house an expanded mind
    Left and right hemispheres in balance
    Constant composition and
    Eighty scribbles per minute
    Let us flow towards that
    Transfer every character there, circulating function
    Nests flowing forward out the snaking valve
    (Mouthing the eternal)
    It too dipping itself in and out in intervals

    Twelve little wells of golden ink
    Bone bottles stacked mouth to tail
    Penned in its planet ’round the cracky pole
    The inner hall expands in gilded breaths
    Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
    Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
    Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
    Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
    Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
    Compelled to give yourself the moment you are for
    Compelled to give yourself the moment you are held
    Compelled to give yourself the moment you are for
    Compelled to give yourself the moment you are held

  5. A.... H....

    Weird but fun

  6. S.... G....

    The gooey feeling.

  21. C.... C....

    She’s doing some really weird stuff these days

    C.... C....

    Turned out by the industry.....trying to keep same by weird expression. Still love her tho

    C.... C....

    MasterWuWei oh yes me too ... but just can’t get my head around this ... she is extremely talented but this is seriously weird.

    C.... C....

    @Chris Cain One of her great talents is to make complex rhythmical and harmonic structures/compositions that are still pretty easy for comprehension. It so wonderful to observe through years and albums how this developed and so with it my taste and level of understanding of music. But this kind of music even if its done so carefully surely have some entry threshold.

    C.... C....

    Personally, I find this lovely and inspiring. But I do always gravitate towards anything experimental.

  22. W.... L....

    to dig ES is to embrace the beautiful and the sublime

  23. A.... S....

    Otherworldly. I am transported.

  24. �.... �....
