Exploring themes of alienation and self-discovery, this track delves into the protagonist's struggle to fit in and be understood. The lyrics portray a sense of dislocation, as if the speaker has returned to a place that feels foreign. The repeated phrase "they're all just speaking tongues" emphasizes a communication barrier, suggesting a feeling of isolation amidst familiarity. However, there's also an undertone of rebellion and individuality - the protagonist doesn't want to conform or be 'the chosen one'. It's about asserting one's identity even when it goes against societal norms or expectations. #Alienation #SelfDiscovery #NonConformity #Identity
Tongues
Lyrics
Pick me up, dust me off
Give me breath, and let me cough
Drag me back, collect my thoughts
I've come back to the land I'd lost
The palms are down, I'm welcomed back to town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes I think they're all just speaking tongues
Tell me all the things I've missed
Who's been killed and who's been kissed
(Drag me back, collect my thoughts)
I'll be gone when the drugs wear off
The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes you'd think they spoke another language
The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes I think they're all just speaking tongues
They say I'm the only one, who can be brave
That I am the chosen one
But there's no way, that I am the only one
And there's no one to save
If there's nowhere for them to run
The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes you'd think they spoke another language
The palms are down, I'm welcomed into town
Sometimes I feel like they don't understand me
I hear their mouths making foreign sounds
Sometimes I think
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
They're all just speaking tongues
