    Lyrics -
    Come along catch a Heffalump,
    Sit with me on a muddy clump,
    We’ll sing a song of days gone by.
    Run along now don’t be glum,
    Get you gone now have some fun,
    Don’t be long for the end is nigh.
    Don’t let moments pass along and waste before your eyes,
    March with me and the borogoves,
    Come with me and the slithy toves,
    And never ask us why.
    Come come come come come along now,
    Run away from the hum-drum,
    We’ll go to a place that is safe from
    greed, anger and boredom.
    We’ll dance and sing till sundown,
    and feast with abandon,
    We’ll sleep when the morning comes,
    and we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.
    We’ll be here when the world slows down,
    and the sunbeams fade away,
    Keeping time by a pendulum as the fabric starts to fray.
    There’s no such thing as time to kill,
    nor time to throw away,
    So once for the bright sky,
    Twice for the pig sty,
    Thrice for another day.
    Come come come come come along now,
    Run away from the hum-drum,
    We’ll go to a place that is safe from,
    Greed anger and boredom.
    We’ll dance and sing till sundown,
    And feast with abandon,
    We’ll sleep when the morning comes,
    And we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.
    Come with me catch a rare type specimen,
    Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton,
    We’ll break our fast with friends.
    Once we’re fed we shall disappear rapidly,
    Many moons to the west of here and happily,
    Our journey never ends.
    Shut your ears when sirens sing,
    Tie armbands to your feet,
    Listen up and you won’t go wrong again,
    Float along on a verse-less song and then,
    Get to where the two ends meet.
    Come come come come come along now,
    Run away from the hum-drum,
    We’ll go to a place that is safe from,
    greed anger and boredom.
    We’ll dance and sing till sundown,
    and feast with abandon,
    We’ll sleep when the morning comes,
    and we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsongs.

      its okay if you didnt know (i didnt either until someone told me) but goblin originated as an antisemetic charicature, so i really dont reccomend using that term. instead you could call it: gremlincore, forestcore, dark cottagecore, green academia, faecore, corvidcore, or cryptidcore. not using the word goblin helps push back against antisemitism. im not asking you to completely give up the gremlincore aesthetic (the aesthetic itself is really nice i love it a lot) but rather to use terms that arent offensive. thank you! /lh /nm /g (edit: i just realised that your comment was a year old, but just in case im sorrybsjbhfj)

    To me, this song feels like some sort of character trying to motivate and soothe the lost during nuclear war.
    Especially with "we'll rise when the birds sing" and "shut your ears when sirens sing".
    And them trying to get them to safety, "Get to where the two ends meet" could be the difference in war zone and a safe zone.

      Oh, I noticed it too. I have ADHD, and music is a great way to block out distracting stimuli and get at least some concentration. However, I found that songs with lyrics don't work for me quite well, so I only use music from pragmaticNihilist and Jake Chudnow.

    @Eselta_ 2 роки тому +26

    It fascinates me that all the references to classic literature, children's stories, fairytales and nursery rhymes, blend so seamless to create a wonderous enchantment in a forlorn world, the likes of which I haven't feel since reading Terry Pratchett's "Lords and Ladies" when I was young. Heffalump is from Winnie The Pooh (at least, as far as I know), Borogroves and Silthy Troves are both from Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, the reference to "the pigsty" is a classic in both Hans Christian Andersen's and Brothers Grimm's fairytales, and the entire thing is wrapped in the energy of woodland spirits who lure kids away from home. This is magnificent. My comparison to "lords and Ladies" comes from the fact that in the story the elves are described as instilling wonder in people, making them do as they're bid, when in reality the elves are terrible creatures, but noone sees that except for the few who see the world as it really is.

    Come along catch a Heffalump
    Sit with me on a muddy clump
    We'll sing a song of days gone by
    Run along now don't be glum
    Get you gone now have some fun
    Don't be long for the end is nigh
    Don't let moments pass along
    And waste before your eyes
    March with me and the borogoves
    Come with me and the slithy toves
    And never ask us why
    Come, come, come, come, come along now
    Run away from the hum-drum
    We'll go to a place that is safe from
    Greed, anger and boredom
    We'll dance and sing 'til sundown
    And feast with abandon
    We'll sleep when the morning comes
    And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs
    We'll be here when the world slows down
    And the sunbeams fade away
    Keeping time by a pendulum
    As the fabric starts to fray
    There's no such thing as time to kill
    Nor time to throw away
    So once for the bright sky
    Twice for the pig sty
    Thrice for another day
    Come, come, come, come, come along now
    Run away from the hum-drum
    We'll go to a place that is safe from
    Greed, anger and boredom
    We'll dance and sing 'til sundown
    And feast with abandon
    We'll sleep when the morning comes
    And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs
    Come with me catch a rare type specimen
    Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton
    We'll break our fast with friends
    Once we're fed we shall disappear rapidly
    Many moons to the west of here and happily
    Our journey never ends
    Shut your ears when sirens sing
    Tie armbands to your feet
    Listen up and you won't go wrong again
    Float along on a verse-less song and then
    Get to where the two ends meet
    Come, come, come, come, come along now
    Run away from the hum-drum
    We'll go to a place that is safe from
    Greed, anger and boredom
    We'll dance and sing 'til sundown
    And feast with abandon
    We'll sleep when the morning comes
    And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs

    I just found this artist thanks to the all powerful algorithm. I've had UA-cam premium for less than a week and already UA-cam music showed me Cosmo and I love it. There's such a distinct style, it's intense but somehow calming and almost tribal at times but still modern and fun.

    this song is brilliant in a way that sneaks up on you--the melody is reminiscent of a childhood none of us actually had, but which puts at ease and in a state of wonder and curiosity, then he sneaks in with the lyrics which at once disorient and illuminate. Love it!

    Love how everyone has their own interpretation of this song.
    For me, it makes me think of Werewolf: Apocalypse. With the esoteric nature of many of the lyrics, the references to greed and anger, and the fight against the "humdrum", all I can think is a pack of werewolves sitting around a campfire gleefully singing this for morale the night before they firebomb a logging company or something

    one of my favorite things about this song is the almost always overlooked reference to a poem called "The Jabberwocky" by lewis carrol which was insane in wording(quite literally called a nonsense poem). The references are the lines "Don’t let moments pass along and waste before your eyes,
    March with me and the borogoves,
    Come with me and the slithy toves,
    And never ask us why."
    relating to the poems first and last paragraphs
    "twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
    all mimsy were the borogoves,
    and the mome raths outgrabe"

      Where the Jabberwocky’s small green tentacles do flow,
      And the Quangle Wangle plays in the rain and the snow."
