about

This odd somewhat lyrically abstract retro-danceable song from the band Sister Black Lagoon's first EP is a rumination on the memory of lost love and the multiple ways of coping with loss.

lyrics

Travelogue

Light is image, fluttering, bearing information, telling stories, always from the past
the stars above your house become reminders, a network
telling stories to identify the past…
I could be right; I like to watch it like a movie
light is image, fluttering, bearing information, telling stories, always from the past
I’d like to watch it now from a different body
I’d like to watch it in its pantomime

This one refuses to get sober
this one denies that it’s over
this one gets used to the ache
this one disenchants the fake
gravity demands what it deserves…

So I drove me all night to Utah where I married me 16 sisters
they wove me unbelievable clothes from their blond manes
and then their mistress…
[little fish on the surface big fish down below]

She symmetrical she goes down like a ship
she symmetrical & go down like a ship
she Leonard Cohen me & then she jet and then she simmer,
some things unravel, some things ache with the dream to travel
some things never say a thing -
but the divine, she moan like a train, just outside of town
little fish on the surface big fish down below

I could be wrong, by the time I got back there in the ally
there were beer bottles broken all around
like stars fallen down
and it got to be where you couldn’t even see me
and it got to be where you couldn’t even see me
and it got to be where you couldn’t even see me.
