The Oh Hellos - Grow (Lyrics)

Lyrics:
between the seams that line your living room
a vine of ivy's pushing her way through
and as she creeps along, she sinks her roots
into the cracks, to pull 'em back until the structure's coming loose
and the way the shadows on the wall are cast
look like a twisted apparition from the past
and all the memories come flooding fast
a wilderness you kinda miss, but were taught you ought to cut it back
so you shut it out
you shout it down
until you're all white-knuckled
you got a lot to learn, if you'd settle down
let be what is, let be what isn't
it's a natural world in which we're living
and if you let it alone, it will surely grow
just leave it alone, child, and let it go
and when all your ziggurats have crumbled down
and every stone is thrown like seeds across the ground
a new Arcadia will come around
and multiply until the binds of death have been unwound
so don't you shut it out
don't you shout it down
and get your feathers ruffled
you got a lot to learn, if you'd just settle down
and let the river run its course
'cause see, the ground all around
it was always holy
leave the ruins where they fall
leave them all
and let the wild take over

This album somehow fits every one of my fantasy ocs like a dream.

I love how the 4 albums are named after Greek gods of wind. But they had lyrics like “and when all your ziggurats have crumpled down” witch are temples from ancient Mesopotamia. Different cultures in songs make things so beautiful

Man, The Oh Hellos are great. I have to admit, Passerine (the story) is why I found this band. I have found a favorite band now, when before I didn’t even listen to music.

[@lennipog]

same! except for the statement saying that you never listened to music before, i've always been an avid enjoyer of music :)
the oh hellos is a wonderful band who writes amazing songs that i can only admire. they're wonderful :D

This song is so well-written! Excellent job, Toasty ..

[@toasty9769]

sorry I didn't write this song, it's from the album "Eurus" by The Oh Hellos, but it is very well written

[@roba1899]

@@toasty9769 I stand corrected !

[@alirizvi5663]

This song's kinda reminds me of the book Dreams of the Dying by Nicolas Lietzau

[@slateoffate9812]

Infinityhi was right! This fits Alinua a lot! I was practically imagining an amv listening to it!

[@canaldoga6902]

Assim eu associo ao "Príncipe Caspian" do C.S. Lewis

[@celestineskies]

okay but,, this is like the singer in ivy by Taylor Swift, years after their arranged marriage remembering the feelings they had in ivy and forcing themself to repress it
