Elle 122,851 Posted July 13, 2017 Finally I'm crossing the threshold From the ordinary world To the reveal of my heart Undoubtedly That will for certain Take the dead out of the sea & the darkness from the arts This is my commitment My modern manifesto I'm doing it for all of us Who never got the chance For --- and for --- & all my birds of paradise Who never got to fly at night 'Cause they were caught up in the dance Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind I want to get off, but I keep riding the ride I never really noticed that I had to decide To play someone's game or live my own life & now I do I wanna move Out of the black (out of the black!) Into the blue (into the blue!) Finally Gone is the burden Of the Crowley way of being That comes from energies combined Like my part was I Was not discerning And you, as we found out Were not in your right mind There's no more chasing rainbows & hoping for an end to them Their arches are illusions Solid at first glance But then you try to touch them There's nothing to hold onto The colours used to lure you in & put you in a trance Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind I want to get off, but I keep riding the ride I never really noticed that I had to decide To play someone's game or live my own life & now I do I wanna move Out of the black (out of the black!) Into the blue (into the blue!) Out of the black (out of the black!) Into the blue (into the blue!) Out of the black (out of the black!) Into the blue (into the blue!) 15 Quote • 4.18.14 • 5.1.14 • 9.20.14 • 5.28.15 • 6.14.15 • 7.28.16 • 7.24.17 • 10.23.17 • 10.24.17 • 1.25.18 • 2.5.18 • 12.5.18 • 10.3.19 • 10.11.19 • 11.16.19 • 8.6.23 • 9.21.23 • 10.1.23 • 5.17.24 • 5.19.24 • SF • ATL • ATL • IND • ATL • CHI • LDN • NYC • NYC • DC • ATL • NYC • PDX • SAN • KS • CHI • AL • MD • AL • AL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GroupieLover 1,162 Posted July 13, 2017 Those lyrics make me want to cry. Wow I can't believe people were doubting her ability to change her narrative. 6 Quote I'm in love with the green on the grass and the trees, the scent of my sidewalks perfumed by the rain/ I'm in love with the tunes that colored my youth/ and the smudges of autumn that spill through the pane/I'm in love, just in a different way/ and that's okay.

gogo yubari 1,124 Posted July 13, 2017 Was expecting a semi-dark bop like COTBR considering the repetition of 'Get Free' in the song. She's really stepping up on the uplifting lyrical front. 0 Quote redline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theviolence 5,839 Posted July 13, 2017 This is like her jubilant send off for us at the end of the album, it sounds as if it comes from a place of darkness, but with added determination to march on to the sun in the distance I love this so much as a closer 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloudbusting 5,382 Posted July 14, 2017 Such a great closer (from what we've heard lol), now I'm glad it's not actually Yosemite. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparklrtrailrheaven 9,113 Posted July 14, 2017 Take the dead out of this heat I hear "take the dead out of the sea", in reference to the Dead Sea. I think it fits well with the next line, "and the darkness from the arts". i.e., take the dead out of the dead sea and the darkness from the dark arts 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lad 8,801 Posted July 19, 2017 It's time for you to update these lyrics. I don't understand and this topic should be a fully ready guide Elle has stated the lyrics won't be posted until the album release. I'm dependent on these threads too because I enjoy reading lyrics on my first listens, but Genius.com is doing the work for me by now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
