Lyrics Dirty Projectors

Dirty Projectors

Ascent Through Clouds

You're alone

Even though you're the same

As everyone

With your ketchup blood and your changeable flame

I go out for a walk

Back way through the fog to the moon with who I talk

I am so myself, I am no one else

You are one who helped me and took my help

I fly fluid and remade

Ascending through the clouds and joining the constellation

There was never more than now

Urge and urge again, newly took and new endowed

I am not contained

In my chest or in my brain

I am energy unconstrained

And even though I want to

I find it hard to stay

In constant contact

Sometimes I go away

Sometimes I go away

Solitude becomes alienation

(The feeling of weariness)

And leads you to togetherness

(The slide in between pain and bliss)

Pleasure slides into pain

(The surrender to forgiveness)

And into pleasure again

(The happy acceptance of a kiss)

Forgiveness, need, apology

(Inevitability)

Redemption and surrendering

(Of sadness)

Strangers become friends

(The river washing us away)

And then strangers again

(Washing the garbage too and trash)

I become you and you become me

(Love and gratitude for the)

Suddenly we are not who we were

(Opportunity)

Passion and intellect combine

(One more chance maybe)

In human love

(To see the sun raise)

Highest common denomination

Even though I want to

I find it hard to stay in constant contact

I gotta go my own way
