Sumney, Moses - Polly Lyrics






You remain in motion
Bottom of the ocean
Not yet sick of sycophants
Tellin' you their true lies
Like, "No moon is higher"
Hollow as a hallway
Your fist fits right through me
If I split my body into two men
Would you then love me better?
Octopus myself so you weather this

Sea, sea, sea polly
Sea, sea, sea polly
See, see, see, see me

You love dancin' with me
Or you just love dancin'
Polly, polly, polly

I don't wanna live here
Sometimes don't wanna live at all
I want to be cotton candy
In the mouth of many a lover
Saccharine and slick technicolor
I'll dissolve
I know that won't solve this (I want to dissolve)
Evolve into rain and spit
You make me go unstitched

Are you dancin' with me?
Or just merely dancn'?
Polly polly polly

1-2-3-4-5-6
Am I just your Friday dick
Cornucopia of just-in-cases
You'll never have to chase this

Woah, polly, polly
Obviously don't think much of me
Polly, polly, polly, polly, polly ooh

    seriously moses is so overrated, it's a shame, his art is wonderful

  2. L.... A....

    [Verse 1]
    You remain in motion
    Bottom of the ocean
    Not yet sick of sycophants
    Tellin' you their true lies
    Like, "No moon is higher,"
    Hollow as a hallway
    Your fist fits right through me
    If I split my body into two men
    Would you then love me better?
    Octopus myself so you weather this

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Sea-ea-ea polly
    Sea-ea-ea polly
    See-ee-ee, see me

    [Chorus]
    You love dancin' with me
    Or you just love dancin'
    Polly, polly, polly

    [Verse 2]
    I don't wanna live here
    Sometimes don't wanna live at all
    I want to be cotton candy
    In the mouth of many a lover
    Saccharine and slick technicolor
    I'll dissolve
    I know that won't solve this (I want to dissolve)
    Evolve into rain and spit
    You make me go unstitched
    Oh, yeah

    [Chorus]
    Are you dancin' with me?
    Or just merely dancin'?
    Polly, polly, polly
    Yeah

    [Outro]
    One, two, three, four, five, six
    Am I just your Friday dick?
    Cornucopia of just-in-cases
    You'll never have to chase this
    Woah, polly, oh, polly
    Obviously don't think much of me
    Polly, yeah, oh, polly
    Polly, yeah, polly, yeah
    Polly, ooh

    It feels like suffocation while being able to breathe.

    N.... T....

    Also, I hope this feeling goes away for me and you both. Love you. Thank you.

  4. V.... D....

    I’m so filled with emotions.. this is my first time seeing anything like this and you sound beautiful wow.. I’m lost for words honestly ❤️

  5. K.... A....

    Moses is one of the most impressive artists I’ve ever seen. He’s just unapologetically and that’s what an actual artist makes! I wish him all the good in the world, he’s such a hard working person and I bet my ass it’s not easy at all. I think we get to see a glimpse of these feelings in this video. I’m very grateful.
    (If this person uses they/them pronouns please correct me!)

  6. A.... D....

    Whoever disliked this doesn’t have a soul

  13. c.... ....

    don't bother calling, Polly

  14. J.... A....

    Imagine a collaboration between him and Lianne La Havas.

  15. h.... ....

  16. D.... T....

    Hey man. My wife is called Polly. Today we had an argument because she wanted me to get my nephew a cycle computer but I had only just got back in from Tesco and wanted a coffee, so I know how you feel mate.

    D.... T....

    Words cannot express how much i relate to this comment

    D.... T....

    I go to tesco too sometimes and i have drank coffee before

  17. F.... C....

    This is amazing

  18. A.... G....

    ahh clairo..

  21. d.... b....

    Why are you so beautiful man? Damn.

  22. M.... H....

    I stumbled upon magic today...so beautiful

  23. k.... s....

    This is the art I NEED to see the YouTube algorithm pushing out there.

  24. s.... u....

    Literal chills!! Listened to this on Spotify and I love this song already.

  25. f.... e....

    The guitar speaks to me and touch me 😔 the words are beautiful I keep playing it

  26. E.... F....

    Woooaaah, ok this gorgeous

  27. M.... G....

    This is so perfect ♥️

  28. E.... S....

    I tried scrolling past this video, but something in my soul told me I needed to watch it. Thank you for this art, for the raw emotion, and for the truth which blessed my ears ❤️

  29. E.... S....

    Wow this is some talent!!!

  30. M.... C....

    He beautiful

  31. f.... g....

    This is so good, looking forward for the LP. Much love!

  32. B.... ....

    dude just @ them next time, no need to sing/cry about it......

  33. A.... R....

    few days I came to know the girl I liked is dating one of my friends, this knowing left me paralysed. She was so mariaful and upbeat, whenever I hear yellow or see yellow, her face just appears before my eyes. This feeling is quite close to being out of breaths or much of it neither. I wanted to ask her if she loves dancing. However I never did. Yesterday I happen to go through this song, and I am still listening to it, this song is addictive in a way that induces your heartfelt emotions as in the sorrowful weariness is parallel to the idea of this song. The wanting of dissolve doesnt resolve anything , rather creating conflicts inside the head. love ya moses. I am saccharin and slick technicolor

  34. M.... P....

    I've just realized the song is weirdly tuned, try out to play along and you'll hear it :)

  35. G.... D....

    What’s your ig

  36. t.... ....

    This song is beautiful, and it’s so sad that so many of us in the comments have encountered a _”Polly”_ . I hope everyone watching this finds happiness one day 💞

  37. C.... R....

    Fucking hell, Moses. I needed this.

    I do the thing I think this video does. I like to be prepared for anything so that I'm not caught off guard. I'll go through fake conversations in my head just to see how I'll react. They always reveal much more about me than the person I'm pretending to converse with. And sometimes those things aren't pretty. But they shift.

    It's almost like turning someone into a "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" flower. Except with those the idea is to go through their actions that point to yes or no. Yet here the video is focused on a single scene of dancing. Instead, your reactions become the flower petals. Personally, it's cathartic. It's been a badd few months and I feel like I finally have something to dive into.

  38. J.... M....

    Omg, this is so good.
    Hi from Ukraine <3

  39. S.... S....

    Wow. I'm so blown away by this on so very many levels.

  40. A.... M....

    I've never heard of you before, I don't even remember why I clicked this video. But I am absolutely in love, this is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a while. I can't wait to explore more of your music.

  41. T.... ....

    Wow. This is so good.

  42. B.... ....

    Is it just me that notices references to polyethylene (plastic) in the sea? "You remain in motion, bottom of the ocean", "sea sea polly" both suggest this

  43. b.... ....

    very brave video, it's terrifying staring into a camera knowing you're being watched, it's like going on a stage, thousands of thoughts racing through your mind but all burning out in seconds like small objects entering the stratosphere. To do this for 4 minutes is intense.

  44. B.... D....

    *Sees call me by your name once*

  45. s.... m....

    So vulnerable, thank you

  46. f.... ....

    this a nice song..

  47. J.... ....

    I hate love.

  48. N.... N....

    I feel like I needed to hear this 😢

  51. K.... U....

    so so proud of how far you’ve come these past few years moses!

  52. M.... G....

    Does anyone know the guitar tabs of this song? Or know where I can find them??

    It’s so beautiful I need to sing it 😍

  53. A.... L....

    big mama cry

  54. C.... Q....

    This song makes me feel things that I've avoided for a long time.

  55. D.... C....

    This was beautiful....but are you okay?

  56. L.... S....

    I love you so much. Your voice is like honey and angels. 🙏🏻

  57. A.... M....

    His soul is ancient and ever-feeling.... it’s magical that he can express such emotion in his music..... for one that is empath, this song speaks truth......🙏🏿🌻❤️

  58. E.... M....

    Oh brother, the pain. Feel ya. Huge hug your way. Thanks for the brave presence.

  59. G.... ....

    Moses is like Bilal but weirder

  60. L.... C....

    one of the most intense experiences of my life so far :)

  61. S.... A....

    Honestly the first part was a little cringey but once I got the context and what he was getting at with the song I understand why. This was unexpectedly cool

  62. B.... K....

    This is amazing. I have no words! ♥️✨

  63. S.... B....

    What a great smile .

  64. P.... ....

    I need some air

  65. s.... o....

    Am I the only one who cried when he cried and smiled when he smiled, even if I've never really had a Polly in my life ? The power of art, I guess.

  66. S.... S....

    Vulnerably Arresting...

  67. a.... k....

    I feel Kevin krauter vibes in this beutiful song,it would be so great if them collaboration together

  68. A.... Q....
