When some unfamiliar faces came to shop in our old house
I didn't bother trying to stop them until they emptied it out
I was standing by the front door, stuffing cash in a jar
taking payment for our failures
I only wanted to alarm you
So when they asked me for directions, I sold them our map
I sold our shovels and our flashlights
they took our duffel bag with a ton of room, but a broken strap
The hungry patrons hit the graveyard, I lit a joint in the house
where there was nothing but our mattress and the same soft shelter of sheets
where nobody found us
I let them strip your mausoleum so nothing was left
but they forgot to close the casket
They sent you shivering to my doorstep
Gently clawing at my window when I was less than awake
I slid it up for you to slither through
I heard you howling
"Just take me!
Just take me to the rusty city we perfected
that holy summer we first found!”
The place you’re stubbornly protecting is the only pretty thing that we own now
and we can stay here to wither in your garden of eden
but your fantasy’s a prison and you’re serving a sentence you can't stop repeating
Can you see the secret exit? The false wall in obsession?
You’ll only .t through the doorway when you relinquish your possessions
So leave everything you've stolen that you can't give back
and don't replace what you've been missing until you know what you're lacking
Leave everything you've borrowed and kept for yourself
You can’t unbreak our broken leases holding on to broken pieces, so return them!
No guilt, no sorry speeches
The lyrics REVISITED of THE ANTLERS is also present in the album Familiars (2014)
The Antlers sono un gruppo musicale indie rock statunitense formatosi a Brooklyn nel 2006. Il nucleo del gruppo è costituito da Peter Silberman (voce, chitarra), Michael Lerner (chitarra, tastiere) e Darby Cicci (batteria). La loro musica è caratterizzata da atmosfere introspettive, testi poetici e arrangiamenti delicati che mescolano elementi di folk, post-rock e dream pop. Dopo diversi EP indipendenti, hanno pubblicato il loro album di debutto "Hospice" nel 2009, un lavoro acclamato dalla critica che ha raggiunto un grande successo di pubblico. L'album racconta una storia d'amore tormentata attraverso la lente della malattia terminale e ha contribuito a consolidare l'immagine del gruppo come uno dei più promettenti dell'indie rock contemporaneo. Nel corso degli anni, The Antlers hanno continuato a pubblicare album apprezzati dalla critica, tra cui "Burst Apart" (2012), "Familiars" (2014) e "Green to Gold" (2017). I loro brani più rappresentativi includono "Kettering", "Epilogue", "Putting the Dog to Sleep" e "Two", che hanno contribuito a definire il sound unico del gruppo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
