    Am I cold? I cannot tell
    Have I fallen? Or am I falling down this stairwell?
    Oh, the cadence of the glow
    Concussive flashes of distant memories
    Good God, I feel your hands on me
    In the dying of the light, my aggressor runs under the lamps
    Morning light they'll get to see the crime committed on me
    Sonny Green is feeling slow
    Pepped up with a bag so righteous he sings all of Rubber Soul
    Oh, the cadence of the glow
    Percussive flashes over dimly lit country
    Good God, I feel your hands on me
    In the dying of the light, my aggressor runs under the lamps
    Morning light they'll get to see the crime committed on me
    Silk, dampened, unknown, over final thoughts
    Where will I be in two years?
    Euphoria breaks over the bow, washing up the macabre
    Out to sea to my mother's arms
    And I'm losing my ability to fathom
    Awake and not awake
    And I'm losing my ability to fathom
    Awake and not awake
    And I'm losing my ability to fathom
    Awake and not awake

      A little history about Alt-J, they are an English indie rock band formed in 2007 in Leeds, by Joe Newman, Thom Sonny Green, Gus Unger-Hamilton and ex band member Gwilym Sainsbury. Their debut album An Awesome Wave was released in May 2012 in Europe, and in September 2012 in the United States, and won the 2012 British Mercury Prize. I discovered them in 2018 through my teenage daughter and fell in love with their music ever since..

    This is a song about getting murdered. But like all Alt-J songs, it's not about exactly what the subject is, but capturing the intensity of human emotions in various situations of high emotion. The moments before death just so happens to be one of those things this band captures so poetically. So much raw emotion and truths in their music. My favourite band.
