Animal Collective – Safer Lyrics

Read Time:2 Minute, 17 Second

Why am I so scared
That the shadows on the wall from yesterday…
I turn and tell my dad
I saw ghosts in the park wooing girls with cakes
And their moms are scared
Cause they havent been home in two or three days
Wind blows trees through the tops of my hair
I saw wolves in the fog, I can see through the rain

Oh, man and things have changed
In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves
I feel deranged
Theyre building beaches inside so its sunny on me
I dont know, I think its strange
Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it
I dont know if theres any real danger
But the creatures all know that its safer in the dark

Why am I so scared
Of explosions going off just any old way
I turn, ask is it really that bad
They say weve much bigger problems, we got wolves on the plain
And they left their den cause of cracks in the pipes through the murky graves
Theyre running just as fast as the hares
They say you shouldnt leave a place if you can eat there
Oh, man, and things have changed
In the snow filled lakes where there used to be waves
I feel deranged
Theyre building beaches inside so its sunny on me
I dont know, I think its strange
Cause I know we met before but I cannot place it
I dont know if theres any real danger
But Im alright if youre alright
Im alright if youre alright, man

She cuts her diamonds so they
Look like a decoy lover
Many have fine costumes but theyre not like mine
He said Id kiss you, sometimes I
Dont wanna kiss you, dont mean I
Dont like to kiss you, just means these lips are mine
He just dont jerk and he just dont work and
He got wrapped up in loving but
We opened him just in time
He said dont make your problems my funny problems
Because Ive got problems but Ill cover them up in time
Dont make your troubles my funny troubles
Because Ive got troubles
Why we talk about em all the time
Like crocodiles sometimes I wanna eat him
Sometimes I just wanna meet him for a
Good meal but to eat you better win so loud
Like crocodiles sometimes he just wanna basement
Sometimes, man, he can never take it when he
Do not look at you but deep inside its fine, thinking about

Torture
Dont let it get you down
Theres other ways to fight
Torture
I hope it gets you round
Shaking it off with me

Man, now dont get too freaky on me
