Mountain Goats, The - Hast Thou Considered The Tetrapod Lyrics
You are sleeping off your demons
When I come home
Spittle bubbling on your lips
Fine, white foam
It's a hot southern California day
If I wake you up
There will be hell to pay
And alone in my room
I am the last of a lost civilization
And I vanish into the dark
And rise above my station
Rise above my station
But I do wake you up, and when I do
You blaze down the hall and you scream
I'm in my room with the headphones on
Deep in the dream chamber
And then I'm awake and I'm guarding my face
Hoping you don't break my stereo
Because it's the one thing that I couldn't live without
So then I think about that, and then I sort of black out
Held under these smothering waves
By your strong and thick-veined hand
But one of these days
I'm going to wriggle up on dry land

Mountain Goats, The Hast Thou Considered The Tetrapod Comments
you just don't know, unless you know. And this guy knows.
The last line is so powerful in a way that's indescribable.
Luego de leer el libro,buscare la traducción,me mato.
Which tetrapod?
@Amber Spath ah :)
Du hast mich tetrapode.
No one makes me as proud of my pain as The Mountain Goats
Hi Joel.
ahhhh reminds me of home
When does the lyric include “Hast Thou considered the tetrapod?”
It doesnt
it doesn't, but the tetrapod thing is a reference to the last lyric, "but one of these days i'm gonna wriggle up on dry land"
if i'm interpreting correctly the singer is a tetrapod, the sea is abuse/his abuser, dry land is safety
@• skvlly • I also think it is an evolution reference relating to his development as a person.

Dude we should call our new song horseshoe crab.
"Hast thou considered the tetrapod?"
Actually.... hol up, I got an idea
this song has the weirdest effect on me. when i listened to it while depressed, it made every depressed thought of self-loathing and self hatred become louder and louder still and it gave those thoughts more power over me. but when the song is over, it makes me feel like those thoughts mean nothing and are not true. it's like a purge. when i got my depression out (after 10 horrible years) this song was like a triumph, a celebration of getting through those terrible times to the other side.
Whenever I listen to Mountain Goats, it makes me wanna drop-kick Life in the mouth.
I don't understand why I relate to this song so strongly
I want to scream but nothing's coming out
i think we all feel that way
dont worry, i am continuing to cry. this is wonderful.
This was my first mountain goats song
Boy Howdy is this Uncomfortably Relatable
