Les paroles de la chanson
« Animal life »
Shearwater

Born inside the gates of the family
Hardened by a Roman machinery
Cast among the building sights
The calling wives, the shards collected

Called out in the wake of the lottery
Hurled inside the family gathering
Mirrored beams and doglike stretch
The wandering association

Marbles in the dark confessional
And the rides along the road ephemeral
As an animal life

Rustling in the shade of the batteries
Hanging from a rope in the gallery
Pacing down the balance beam
Of half remembered holidays

No rush of light, no sign of belonging
No joy in building love in the finishing
Chasing down an anodyne
And half reflected radiance

To high below the ancient barricade
In chambers like the rooms a swallow made
For an animal life

Charging down the mall with the ocean
I wanna come close, I wanna come closer
I held your name inside my mouth
Through all the days out wandering

But called out from the mouth of …rebellion
Cast away like dogs from the shelter
I shut the dolls in all the places
That once collected radiance

Searching at the light’s perimeter
The half remembered wild interior
Of an animal life
