James Mercer is a genius. He has the ability to make something that sounds like a 3 min pop song, but the more you listen, the more layers you discover in both the music and the lyrics.
I've done myself an impossible crime, Had to paint myself a hole, And fall inside, If it's far enough in sight and rhyme, I get to wear another dress, And count in time, Oh, won't you do me the favor, man, Of a giving mind, A polymorphing opinion here, And your vague outline, I'll find myself another burning gate, A pretty face, a vague idea I can't relate, And this is get what you get for pulling pins, Out of the hole, Inside the hole you're in, It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars, Of a blind man's bike, No straws to grab, just the rushing wind, On the rolling mind, They want you to decide, Eventually, it happens, Some gather on one side, With all their pearly snapping, They close the basement door, It sets our teeth to chatter, You never saw it before, But now that hardly matters, You're old enough, boy, Too many summers you've enjoyed, So spin the wheel, We'll set you up with some odd convictions, Because you're finally golden, boy

It's a great song
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Favorite song on the album
Too hard for me to choose. This one, Australia, Turn on Me, A Comet Appears, and Sea legs are all #1 for me.
Edit: Forgot Phantom Limb, also top tier
@@Blarsen780 oh no doubt all are great songs.

If I could make a song a tenth as beautiful as this I would have beyond succeeded in life

understandable
I've done myself an impossible crime,
Had to paint myself a hole,
And fall inside,
If it's far enough in sight and rhyme,
I get to wear another dress,
And count in time,
Oh, won't you do me the favor, man,
Of a giving mind,
A polymorphing opinion here,
And your vague outline,
I'll find myself another burning gate,
A pretty face, a vague idea I can't relate,
And this is get what you get for pulling pins,
Out of the hole,
Inside the hole you're in,
It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars,
Of a blind man's bike,
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind,
On the rolling mind,
They want you to decide,
Eventually, it happens,
Some gather on one side,
With all their pearly snapping,
They close the basement door,
It sets our teeth to chatter,
You never saw it before,
But now that hardly matters,
You're old enough, boy,
Too many summers you've enjoyed,
So spin the wheel,
We'll set you up with some odd convictions,
Because you're finally golden, boy
wiseman457 what does this mean to you?
Perched, not pressed.
Thanks.
