Connection

from The Hoax by Wild Animals

/

lyrics

My friend's father inspired this song
when his furry soulmate died,

after 11 summers spent together


It did really pierce his heart, 
he said
"it feels like I’ve lost a son"

and the saddest words always come with a tear


I can't get you connect so deeply with an animal

then you don't want to hear what you consume

It may upset you to find out the whole truth of this trade

you never gave a second chance to what I tried to say



For sure you can relate to me
it’s no single case, it’s something

we’ve been fed since elementary
Five same old stupid words that fail

The sound of nails on a chalkboard

I feel I'm screaming at a wall


I can't get you connect so deeply with an animal

then you don't want to hear what you consume

It may upset you to find out the whole truth of this trade

you never gave a second chance to what I tried to say



I feel sad and irate at the same time, when i have

to deal with other people's narrow views,

it's hard to assume they'll never make the connection



All those forces use resources,
we’re just numbers lost in slumber
All those forces fueled by gold,
who push you back into a deep sleep,
I don't care I won't be silent

He remembered in the dark, they were playing in the park,
she was always by his side, unlike us they never lie
and from the day he got divorced she changed
his once supposed course of life,
11 years they were each other shadow
Time rolled over they were lying on the sofa
with a toy between her teeth she cured him of his grief
and the day she lost a chunk of ear his body was possessed with fear
11 years they were each others shadow
