Of Monsters And Men - Sloom Lyrics






The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you

The carpet on my cheek feels like a forest
And I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me

The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories
That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours

To be asked to take this plunge, to forgive and forget
And be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

The cat's silhouette as big as a monster in this concrete jungle
With street lights hanging their heads

So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

I met a man today and he smiled back at me
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet

  9. L.... ....

    I feel like this song is somebody and their God, just me?

  10. L.... ....

    "I met a man today and he smiled back at me. Now there are thoughts like this that keep me on my feet" this part kinda makes me fell like crying and I don't even know why, but It happens almost everytime I hear it

  11. W.... S....

    I miss my friend.. got me through 2017 and 18... the music did.

  12. D.... M....

    Came back here for a little bit of classic after all the emotions of FEVER DREAM, someone in the same way?

  13. F.... A....

    Cooles lied

  14. N.... k....

    You may love Billie for her way of connecting with your heart and mind. But me? I love these songs. They connect with me. And yes, Billie songs and these are totally a diff universe. No offense...but I prefer a world of solitude and joy.

  15. P.... ....

    I love lying on the carpet. I imagine it being a forest too. The carpet feels really good against my cheeks.

  16. P.... :....

    ZzZzZz how els fell asleep? 😴




    👇🏻

  17. N.... ....

    I love love LOVE this song

  18. A.... G....

    I've come back to this song. I remember that the first time I heard this masterpiece I was in the edge of dying and begging to get out of my sadness. Today I feel as lonely as I could be, but this song makes me feel loved, that there's hope and I'm on the right path. I love OMAM with all my heart it almost hurts.

  19. a.... v....

    Is like a dreaming under a sunset; meanwhile someone whispers this song

  20. D.... ....

    My favorite track from them

  21. A.... H....

    Salami mother

  22. C.... ....

    This sounds like a murder song.

  23. s.... ....

    my english teacher once told me this song was actually about a stalker and a murderer or something like that. idk if that’s true, but this song is good regardless

  24. K.... S....

    Beautiful ❤️

  25. M.... M....

    Am I the only person who thinks the lyrics relates a couple who have come so far in their relationship to marriage and the song is about them having to tell their parents that they are moving on as they describe their love to them and their parents...


    Just me??? Kk

  26. S.... O....

    Their voices are so angelic

  27. J.... F....

    It's haunting and yet peaceful.

  28. N.... T....

    [Verse 1]
    The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
    The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you
    The carpet on my cheek feels like a forest
    And I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me

    [Verse 2]
    The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories
    That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours
    To be us to take this plunge, to forgive and forget
    And be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man

    [Chorus]
    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

    [Verse 3]
    The cat's silhouette as big as a monster in this concrete jungle
    With street lights hanging their hats
    So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
    And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last

    [Chorus]
    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

    [Outro]
    I met a man today and he smiled back at me
    Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet

  32. r.... c....

    I'd love their black and white atmospheres as moving screensavers.

  33. S.... O....

    beautiful <3

  34. k.... w....

    Not so much sloom more visionary of a time of change. Who could mother and father be? Hmmm. And who was that smiling man?

  35. E.... J....

    FEELS GOOD!!

  36. A.... B....

    To be a butter Man

  37. a.... f....

    I think this song talks about suicide. But I also think that we only see what we want to see.

  38. M.... T....

    🗣My peace

  39. S.... J....

    Am I the only one who notice that they are similar to the Phillipnes Band called The Ransom Collective?

  40. A.... ....

    Thank you for the strength for though I make mistakes, I am your Brother...

  41. z.... ....

    The sea said goodbye to the shore a little dream of mine a nightmare of yours and I meet your eyes for the first time and for the last

  42. C.... B....

    Today is the first time I cried listening to this. When I was writing I wrote a sentence that was "I will always be with you, even if I'm not here when you wake up. I'll still be with you." That sentence in the context and what had happened to me just made me think of this in another way. My aunt and two of my cats died before I woke up, and I didn't get the chance to tell them I loved them.

  43. A.... B....

    This song is so peaceful, but has a dark feeling to it. There is litterally a lake with shores lined with skulls with a monster in it

  44. C.... H....

    Just near perfect writing, flowing with Hell, just beauty...Iceland seems to birth some effin’ amazing musicians!

  45. S.... H....

    Love this song

  46. L.... M....

    🎶And *llama* sister🎶

  47. A.... ....

  49. Y.... U....

    Wtf is this shit

  50. L.... B....

    this kind of good songs everyday FREE and WITHOUT COMMERCIALS only music for adult contemporary at radio BUENA MUSICA FM it´s in your country 24/7 buenamusicafm.com

  51. C.... H....

    i feel like a lot of the songs from this album are about being abused, especially this song. it tells the story of two kids being abused by their parents, the kids realizing they deserve better, and when theyre strong enough, looking their parents in the eye and forsaking them and all the lies they told them. the brother and sister only ever wanted their parents to love them, and the strangers smile reminds them the world isnt all evil and cruel. they can carry on. i relate to this album a lot due to those trauma feels

  52. �.... ....

    Is it only me that think this song is about child abuse? I feel so sad when I think so :(

  53. C.... 1....

    so dreamy

  54. J.... t....

    Holy shit, I just realized thia song is about a girl getting abducted and then murdered.
    And I used to think it was so peaceful...

  55. N.... A....

    How am I just discovering this song? This is so beautiful and it's been out for 4 years, just about as long as all the other songs from them I like...

  56. a.... z....

    Love this song..

  57. A.... m....

  76. T.... H....

    I love the detail to the back ground its a bit dark but then you can see by the detail the light and trees in the lake makes me feel so free and calm

  77. B.... E....

    The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
    The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you

    The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass
    And I run through the tall trees with your hands chasing me

    The books that I keep by my bags are full of your stories
    That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours

    To be asked to take this plunge, to forgive and forget
    And be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man

    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

    The cat's silhouette, as big as a monster,
    In this concrete jungle, with street lights hanging their heads

    So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
    And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last

    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
    So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

    I met a man today and he smiled back at me
    Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet,
    That keep me on my feet.

  78. C.... L....

    This song is speaking to and for me. <3 in love

  79. A.... Z....

    Can anyone help me identify the font used to display the lyrics of this song?

  80. I.... J....

    I believe this is my favorite OM&M Song ! It's like joy of life, as well !

  81. D.... 0....

    Im so sad im not here years ago😢😢😢

  82. R.... P....

    It sounds like they're saying "salami" father instead of "so love me"

    R.... P....

    true xd

  83. B.... ....

    This is such a wonderful song I feel so relaxed. I can feel the last few months of stress just steaming out of me. I feel like crying with joy!

    B.... ....

    Oh nvm i am crying.

  84. K.... ....

    Every time I listen to this band they take me away. Not any particular place but I just feel "out". Like I'm not on the planet anymore. It's the weirdest feeling.

  85. S.... H....

    Angus and julia stone what are you doing here?

  86. C.... ....

    to be a baaatman, to be a baaatman, to be a baaattmaan...

  87. B.... ....

    So apparently this song is a reverse murder story. Personaly i always pictured it to just be two people talking about their hopes, fears, dreams, and nightmares. I pictured one to be optimistic with a brighter outlook on life while the other was more pessimistic and anxious. Thats what the line "a little dream if mine a little nightmare of yours" would be about. The last line would be about the anxious person seeing someone smile at them and it calming them to think of a little good in the world

  88. A.... D....

    yeah potato, w this excellent music is closer to impossible found haters

  89. p.... 9....

    I really like this group , they have a wonderful voice , love me mother love me father love me Camila , I love u

  90. D.... V....

    OMAM always gives me such nostalgia. It's insane. Always gets me right in the feels

  91. M.... D....

    I want to date a girl so much, but she had a lot of issues in her past that were terrible and that breaks me every time I say her to be my gf.
    One day, I was listening to this and I wrote a little song for her.
    My plan is to play that song on her birthday. To show her that there stills one person who loves her in the must natural and human way.
    Galy, if you see this, I just want to tell you that you are the best thing that ever hapenned to me. And I love you

    M.... D....

    Mario Davila I feel like this with my boyfriend. He’s gone thru a lot , and his past sometimes hurts me but I love him unconditionally.

    M.... D....

    Don't keep trying if she's not interested. You'll basically miss out on so much else. Speaking from experience. Spent the better part of 6 years after one person. And now I don't know how to relate with others.

    M.... D....

    I hope its not too late to tell you to not do that

    M.... D....

    I love you too

    M.... D....

    Yogirl Cheeks r u her?

  92. L.... C....

    My favorite off the album. It's so beautiful!

  93. B.... E....

    it's hard to understand the meaning of the songs sometimes. I just hope it's not random lyrics that sound nice

  94. E.... J....

    If I Could Push The Like Button On The Channel, It'd Be Broken.

  95. M.... S....

    2018 ✌

  96. A.... S....

    I met a man today and he smiled back at me
    Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet

  97. s.... F....
