Lisa Hannigan - We, The Drowned Lyrics






We, the drowned
Hold our hollow hearted ground
Til we swallow ourselves down
Again

We, the ashes,
We spend our days like matches
And burned ourselves as black as
The end.

We know not the fire in which we burn
But we sing and we sing
And the flames grow higher.
We read not the pages which we turn
But we sing, and we sing, and we sing, and we sing

We, the wrong,
We the sewn up and long gone,
Were before and all along
Like this

We, the drowned
The lost and found out,
We are all finished again.

    This is like the Death Fugue of Paul Celan (https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/death-fugue). It's a song for those friends of my friends which where lost in the mediterranean sea or in the Lybian Desert, in the woods of Nigeria, in the slave camps in Lybia. What a great, great song.

    I fell in love with your voice some months ago, and this is probably the most beautifull performance I've evere heard (of my preferred song of you). This song is so meaning full for me and every time I hear it, I feel a strange heat inside of me. There are just a little bunch of songs that can do something like this. Thank you for your music, I hope that someday I will be at one of your concert and maybe meet you

    We the drowned hold our hollow-hearted ground
    Till ve swallow ourselves down
    Again, again

    We, the ashes, we spend our days like matches
    And we burn our ships as black as
    The end, the end, the end, the end

    We know not the fire in which we burn
    But we sing and we sing and the flames grow higher
    We read not the pages which we turn
    But we sing and we sing and we sing and we sing

    We, the wrong, we the sewn up and long gone
    Were before and all along
    Like this, like this, like this, like this

    We, the drowned, the lost and found out
    We are all finished
