    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.

    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

    Traditionally, the fae steal humans away to live Underhill with them. It's not really good for the humans; eventually the fae get bored with them and return them. And since time does not run the same in Underhill as it does in our world, they usually come out 100 years later or the like. Some have been turned into slaves, others educated like young elf princes - and then abandoned. This song sounds like a fae trying to entice a child away(sometimes it's pretty young men or maidens, but often children) with promises of feasts and fun, but usually the stories say it's 95% illusion and only a little reality that anyone would experience Underhill. Like, they would feed you, but it might not be as nice as they've bespelled you to think. Or they would dress you, but it would actually be a sack or something, not the velvet you swear you are touching. Never trust fae(fairies/elves/The Good Neighbors) promises - even if they are actually trying to help you(and they think it's hilarious to trick you), they don't usually have any idea about what would actually be a good thing for you. So yes, both a fun and sinister song!

They mostly enter the fish’s body where it breathes and remplace the tongue of the fish, and puts themselves where the tongue was, and then make babies here when another of their kind enters the fish’s body. Also they switched genders when they remplace the tongue (not sure which to which gender it is though 😅)

    This song to me, feels like it was sung by a charismatic evil spirit - beckoning and persuading you to abandon everything you've ever lived for to come enter its lair. A mysterious, cold cave located deep in the forest covered in moss and roots. Ancient paintings and symbols, lines of torches and bioluminescent plants decorating the interior of the lair. Once you enter, you never come back.

    In 1284, while the town of Hamelin was suffering from a rat infestation, a piper dressed in multicolored ("pied") clothing appeared, claiming to be a rat-catcher. He promised the mayor a solution to their problem with the rats. The mayor, in turn, promised to pay him for the removal of the rats (according to some versions of the story, the promised sum was 1,000 guilders). The piper accepted and played his pipe to lure the rats into the Weser River, where they all drowned.[4]
    Despite the piper's success, the mayor reneged on his promise and refused to pay him the full sum (reputedly reduced to a sum of 50 guilders) even going so far as to blame the piper for bringing the rats himself in an extortion attempt. Enraged, the piper stormed out of the town, vowing to return later to take revenge. On Saint John and Paul's day, while the adults were in church, the piper returned dressed in green like a hunter and playing his pipe. In so doing, he attracted the town's children. One hundred and thirty children followed him out of town and into a cave and were never seen again. Depending on the version, at most three children remained behind: one was lame and could not follow quickly enough, the second was deaf and therefore could not hear the music, and the last was blind and therefore unable to see where he was going. These three informed the villagers of what had happened when they came out from church.[4]
    Other versions relate that the Pied Piper led the children to the top of Koppelberg Hill, where he took them to a beautiful land,[5] or a place called Koppenberg Mountain,[6] or Transylvania, or that he made them walk into the Weser as he did with the rats, and they all drowned. Some versions state that the Piper returned the children after payment, or that he returned the children after the villagers paid several times the original amount of gold.[4][7]

Fairies are these sweet magical creatures that are often portrayed in children's books, however faeries include tons of different species. Faeries are essentially demons, the general elf looking faeries attempt to lure people into their realm, stealing them away from reality, or giving them a 'gift' which will come back to hurt the person who took it, as fae make trades, they don't give gifts. Another fae would include sirens for instance

    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"
