Lifeforms Lyrics

From the beginning
Small lifeforms
They can kill without warning
So you don't explode

Stop you growing limbs and thinking
That you love them now you're blinking
And reminding her of him

Oh you steal his features
And your mother is a bleacher
She don't even feel the heat no
She don't even want to speak to you

But you, you'll always find another place to go
(Oh you) you'll always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow

Well you can try to sink down deeply
And find the children lost at sea
Find the children who discretely
Were killed in infancy

To stop them holding you and screaming
That you'll lose your wildest dreaming
Still reminding you of him
How he left without reasons

But you, you'll always find another place to go
(Oh you) you'll always find another womb to grow, to grow, to grow

You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily
You can try to forget me but I won't let you easily
I'm floating out in the water, washed out to sea
Drifting away with time you'll regret you conceived it
Clean up the dead you leave behind
Just like insects

Clean up the dead you leave behind

What is the Meaning of Lifeforms?

The haunting narrative explores the complex emotions surrounding abortion and the psychological aftermath of such a decision. Through metaphorical imagery of sea creatures and marine themes, the lyrics delve into the perspective of both the terminated pregnancy and the mother wrestling with her choice. The song touches on various aspects of this difficult subject: the genetic connection to an absent father, the mother's emotional detachment as a coping mechanism, and the persistent memories that refuse to fade. The recurring motif of "finding another womb to grow" suggests the cyclical nature of life and death, while also hinting at the possibility of future chances at life. The underwater imagery effectively conveys feelings of loss, guilt, and the weightless limbo between existence and non-existence. It's a poignant exploration of a deeply personal and often silenced experience.
