Mountain Goats, The - How To Embrace A Swamp Creature Lyrics

pushing air through my gills

it’s ok Burt Sidefish

please god im just trying to figure out how to hug my swamp husband why am i getting goat results

so im listening to music on youtube and i started with randy orton's theme song and autoplay ended up here after an hour

Got out of bed, could not remember my own name
Condemned to walk the soil amongst all creatures wild and tame
Go where I go, do what I must
Crawl, starving, on my belly, licking up the dry dust

I see the light in your window
Ride the elevator to the sixth floor
Stand with my arms at my sides
As you open up the door

But I'm out of my element
I can't breathe
I'm out of my element
I can't breathe

Alone with your bathroom mirror, try to get my head straight
Breathe on the glass and wait for it to clear, clean slate
Meet up with you in the kitchen where the air is hot and dry
Open up all the faucets, be fruitful and multiply

I stand where
The flashing swords gleam
And I try to shake my head
Clear of the dream

But I'm out of my element
I can't breathe
I'm out of my element
I can't breathe

I start to sweat, I can't cool down
I'm scared of all the strangers in this town
I try to tell you just why I've come
It's like I've got molasses on my tongue

I made it through town somehow
But who's gonna save me now?

I'm out of my element
I can't breathe
I'm out of my element
I can't breathe

is this in any way a reference to alan moores swamp thing, bc the band clearly like HPL, as does alan moore

Ahh, yes. A song about accepting Shrek.

Shape of Water looks great!

Guillermo del Toro plagiarised this song to make The Shape of Water.

nah thats abe sapien lol

The perfect start to my Shrek self-insert smutfiction inspiration playlist!

i am going to suplex you with my bare hands

this comment made me cycle through the five stages of grief if those stages are realization, anger, rage, wrath, and ungodly fury

Love love love all these songs!

i see what u did there

Is this song about Swamp Thing

Yes, but it's also about hooking up with an ex

Looking through the comments section I've come to realize that you either hate the Mountain Goats or think that anything that Darnielle touches is gold

Jade Reynolds
Hey, I acknowledge a lot of the songs sound similar, I just like the one song he writes over and over because im a depressed piece of shit

RF9431 it's "simple" musically but John really puts a lot into it.

You mean his words are golden and his experiences are his own.
It's hard to understand others, but some people try.

Alex Allie was tuhtqwww

@Holly Mistur good drunken try. I hope are safe and have some one holding your hair back if you're one of my drunk and thirsty. Love and peace

all these fucking songs sound the same.

+Alok Bapatla you're right they all sound like the best song in the world

Literally every band ever.

Says the person with a NMH icon (I say that as a NMH fan)

+bing bong Okay very true

This band somehow feels like a good catharsis for my feelings. Sometimes you need a band like them.

Absolutely. This band has made me a better and more calm person

This song is obviously about a goldfish. "Woke up this morning, couldn't remember my own name", "I'm out of my element, I can't breathe" etc.

i like this side of Mountain Goats a lot a lot!

....like your face! :D

Bright Mountain Choir!

Definitely one of my favorites off this album. You can feel the nervous excitement.

I think that's the point.

....like your face! :D

I love this song. One of my favorites from the album.

But then again, they're all beautiful.
