I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal
I feel you carrying me under a blanket of coal
Living in the time of dark
And I don't dare to look very far
Young man
She's just a whisper
Step too loud, the sound of the ground
Will just eclipse her
I leave all my doubts behind
(See through me)
I'll give up my sight
I'll tear it out so I can see the signs
My steps are small
(See through me)
Walking blind
Spinning to the clouds
Hoping I don't choke on all the truth that they bring
[Chorus]
See me over the mountain
I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal
See me over the mountain, yeah
I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal
If you see me to the darkest time
There'll never be a mountain that I cannot climb
See me over the mountain
I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal
See right through me to the sky
Down is up and up is down
A crumble climbing high
I've met you twice before
When you put breath in my lungs when my own kin had me gagged
When you taught me to breathe underwater
When I had myself drowned
So don't cry
It's nothing
(See through me)
Even in silence
There are voices who will sing
(See through me)
But oh little child
Understand a single thing
Your music's in your pocket
With the power you can even imagine
It will bring
[Chorus]
See me over the mountain
I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal
Won't you see me over this mountain
I feel you carrying me under a blanket of coal
If you see me to the darkest time
There'll never be a mountain I'm not willing to climb
See me over the mountain
I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal
Hey hey hey, hey-o
(Hey hey hey, hey-o...)
See through me
See me over this mountain, yeah
Living in the time of dark
And I don't dare to look very far
The lyrics TIME OF DARK of TUNE-YARDS is also present in the album Nikki nack (2014)
Tune-Yards è un duo musicale statunitense formatosi nel 2006 da Merrill Garbus e Nate Brenner. La cantautrice e polistrumentista Garbus, originaria di New Canaan, Connecticut, ha dato vita al progetto musicale che in seguito ha visto l'ingresso del polistrumentista Brenner come membro ufficiale nel 2009. Il loro sound è caratterizzato da un mix innovativo di indie pop, musica elettronica e folk, con testi spesso ironici e riflessivi. Garbus è nota per la sua voce potente e versatile, che spazia dal canto melodico a urla improvvise, mentre Brenner contribuisce con arrangiamenti musicali complessi e sperimentali. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Tune-Yards figurano "Gangsta", "Bizness" e "Powa", tratti dall'album di debutto del 2011, *Who Killed Patti Smith?*. Nel corso della loro carriera, hanno collaborato con artisti come tUnE-yArDs e St. Vincent.
