Body Needs Time

from Unheard, Unseen by Small Souls

/

about

This song is about the anxiety of being alone and how that bleeds into relationships. I liked the image of someone sitting alone drunk in his kitchen, with just the refrigerator humming, watching the cat crawl out the window—it worked to create a typical, even banal, sense of loneliness. Musically, I think this song gets to what it’s doing right away, which is why we chose it to open the album.

lyrics

You stay at home in your kitchen drunk
Refrigerator hums
The cat crawls through the window and she’s gone
And no one has the time to be alone

Falling off your chair, swinging chandelier
Is it you or the room
The capsized boat in the empty room
And no one has the time to be confused

Try to give yourself a day
Walk along a line that’s meant to fade
And all your body needs is time

I would give up my heart attacks
Cross my arms and float away and back
All my body needs is time
