Belle & Sebastian - Ease Your Feet In The Sea Lyrics

how many heartbreaking belle and seb songs do you know that involve suicide?

i think about this one, "if you're feeling sinister" , "beautiful", "sleep the clock around", "suicide girl" (ahahah) in some way

"1 could see the house where you lived
I could see the house where you gave
All your time and sanity to people
Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you
They spoke in turn
But their eyes would pass over you
Over you
Who's seeing you at all?
Who's seeing You at all?"

"Suddenly, without a warning
On a pale blue morning
You decide your time is wearing thin
A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling
Hovering
It's an emergency
There's no more "wait and see"

"Later on, as I walked home
The plough was showing, and Orion
I could see the house where you lived
I could see the house where you gave
All your time and sanity to people
Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you
They spoke in turn
But their eyes would pass over you
Over you
Who's seeing you at all?"

this is heartbreaking, but stuart's and belle and seb's empathy for it all is filling me with hope.

who is seeing you at all?

Creo que este tema tan bello lo compuso Sarah Martin. No estoy seguro pero da lo mismo. Es un tema precioso de una banda que nos alegró mucho los finales del siglo veinte. También nos encanta en el veintiuno, pero la novedad siempre es la novedadl A mi en los noventa me encantaba demasiado que existieran y se crearan bandas con este estilo, esta expresión. Gracias.

This song convinced me to stop seeing my friends.

So sad.

mellowed

me hace acordar un verano a la atardecer andando en skate.

Reminds me of driving along a tropical cost line ride then stopping off for a paddle.

Ease you're feet off in the sea
My darling it's the place to be
Take your shoes off curl your toes
And I will frame this moment in time
Troubles come and troubles go
The trouble that we've come to know
Will stay with us till we get old
Will stay with us till somebody decides to go
Decides to go

Soberly, without regret, 1 make another sandwich
And I fill my face, 1 know that things have got to you
But what can 1 do?
Suddenly, without a warning
On a pale blue morning
You decide your time is wearing thin
A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling
Hovering
It's an emergency
There's no more "wait and see"

Maybe if I shut my eves
Your trouble will be split between us
People come and people go
You're scouring everybodies face
For some small flicker of the truth
To what it is that you are going through, my boy
I left you dry
The signs were clear that you were not going anywhere
Anywhere
Save for a falling down
Everything's going wrong

Later on, as I walked home
The plough was showing, and orion
1 could see the house where you lived
I could see the house where you gave
All your time and sanity to people
Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you
They spoke in turn
But their eyes would pass over you
Over you
Who's seeing you at all?
Who's seeing You at all?

good memories

I will frame this moment in time.

For years I heard 'power frame this moment in time' until I bought this vinyl and saw the lyrics. Somewhat upsetting (not really). Still it's always this to me now! I do like how lyrics can mean different things to different people but also how mishearing lines has this effect also. Hopefully I'll power frame this thought :)
