Slenderbodies writes songs for you to experience like a blanket or a warm breeze of equatorial air. The California based duo met while attending University together, and came together as a creative force 3 years later. The two wrote, recorded and produced their debut album "sotto voce" over the span of a month and 380 miles. The result was an emotionally impactful, sonically soft collection of songs, with intricate airy guitar work complemented by gentle vocals and present drums. With vivid imagery at at the forefront of vocal waves, the duo paints portraits of siren songs, sultry nights with foreign lovers, lost romance and home. Almost a year following, they have returned with fabulist, the surreal story of two entwined souls, drawn out to sea together.
Lyrics:
feeling better??say if somethings wrong?held it all along made a mess up?cleaned it just for fun?you could be the one you could be the one?to take my breathe away dont pretend love?breaking ins the charm?fooling mes the harm you can fess up?tell them youre at large?wont be back too much you could be the one?to take my breathe awayLyrics:
mended to my prime heavy on my eyelids too like-able too like-able steady all my life making any mindset shifts so probable yet you try to step but you step awkward you take a breath but youre bent outward well make a friend but well lose a couple lets make pretend that were going backwards its better like that i hate to say goodbyes but its the only time i get to talk to you its true i could let it slide corner of my pupils perspective neglectedLyrics:
Paranoid You got me figured out Paranoid Come down its much too loud Paranoid Too long we lived with doubt Ive never run Til right now You know that Im hiding Cant belong Shadows that Im fighting Make me strong This throne in my mind is Keeping me going Farther than the reach of time So she said Baby its all in your head, its in your mind I guess This baroness She always seems to know Best, I bet shes my common sense paranoid Youll all see when im down Paranoid Among a troubled crowd Polaroid Your pictures fading Too quickly now With the sound You know that Im hiding Cant be long Her warm touch invites me Makes me strong The morning in my mind is Keeping me going Farther than the reach of timeLyrics:
Want to believe that I got nothing for you at all At all Yet the way you see me you -treat me like the king that i am King that i am ? Ill be in the corner drawing pictures of myself Trying to be somebody else Making something for myself now Ill be in the corner till you show me all my wealth Til you show me all my wealth Ill believe it til the end now ? Got something to love about you, i Got something to love about you ? Told myself Holding my images Time to forget it Born again, and i ? Wonder if i rise too slow ill fall sleep Waiting on my own until you talk to meLyrics:
feels nice?driving down the coast-line?with you by my side?hand in hand tonight?gripping oh so tight?ooh lady i may have miscalculated?i could have left you out of this mess so crazy Ive been craving your ?every touch my eyes cant get enough?its hard to say were in love?weve been miming like animals no words come from above?our minds were left in the dust so?let me take you home?let me take you home? seen the sights?rolling on teenage vibes?reminiscing on our feeble lives?so pretty i may have miscalculated?so crazy Ive been craving your ?every touch my eyes cant get enough?its hard to say were in love?weve been miming like animals no words come from above?our minds were left in the dust so?let me take you home?let me take you homeLyrics:
Down below My thoughts can wander and I let go I don't need much in my life I know I like it better underwater I've been drowning in anemone Here you'll never get the best of me I've been drowning in anemone Breathing deep Breathing deep Down below sandy like the ocean floor Quiet like I like it here I'll never be alone I pause my life, I spend my time It's always right, it's never wrong to try It's been alright, I've been alright But here it's better, I hear better I like it better underwater Send me underwater Feeling little pulls Won't get the best of me so La la la let's go A little destiny To tell you what you know A fatal recipe of life Dreaming bout a place Where I can be by myself Feeling little pulls Won't get the best of me so La la la let's go A little destiny To tell you what you know A fatal recipe of life Dreaming bout a place where I can be by myself Dreaming bout a place where I can be by myselfLyrics:

i feel dangerous to be honest I'm trying to conceal it but I've been dangerous for a while though we don't need reality hear me speak stop to think you might have missed an echo if you want to play for keeps start off easy i want to make sure that you slowdown with your love slow down with your love you think you think you think you got it now i think i think i think I'm falling out we sink we sink we drag each-other down I found a way for us We need a bit of luck When were together love We are so dangerousLyrics:
Lens flare aching as it covers our eyes Been so late I've been a cannibal I carry along I carry along Glossed over all the fine lines Cold crisp cream inside a silky spine I've been carried along I've been carried along Loose leaves spill over my sanity Wilted winds will me Loose leaves spill over my sanity Wilted winds will me I've been seeing in blue I've been feeling in blue When I'm with you I've been sinning in blue I've been blooming into muted motion Opal ocean north shore floats in Opal ocean slowly flows in Loose leaves spill over my sanity Wilted winds will me Loose leaves spill over my sanity Wilted winds will me I've been seeing in blue I've been feeling in blue When I'm with you I've been sinning in blue I've been blooming into muted motionLyrics:
stalled and leaning backwards following all the rules you left baby steps long laborous lobotomy performed on me woke every night same questions asked i don?t remember its been so long yet i remember you like scars a perfect picture, everyday its been so long yet i remember how it was i used to be your everything and anything since I?ve been gone I?ve been forgetting all i was but you?re still clearer than the day everyday Come down Come home Melt in morphine All alone Still alive Still whole Still in toxic chemicals Still intoxicated love Dizzy mess inside my bones I still remember I still remember Now i feel a little hypnotized Sentimental of your scent tonight Sent my mental off i feel just fine got my heart its all need this time YeaLyrics:
running feet sound of seas trouble me i give into weariness half asleep struggling slowly until I can wake me up tell me that I'm ok from the haze dripping in reflection suddenly you are here with me sweet and safe nothing else will matter anymore lucid i see my body yet im dreaming im floating way above?hold in hysteria fluid the irony of it all dubious of the future i hold wake me i dont wanna devolve days too deep crows or keys rabbits feet hold it close i need the luck eyes on meltingling from the breeze peering at me from the dark tell you that i got something on my mind fooling you is all i do soon as you fall asleep and make it here then you and i can be forever young tell me im a loon when i want a little dosage let me fall in your arms i aint gonna lose it like an old soul let me inch a little closer find my way back home way back homeLyrics:
You were my one love In that place where blacktails roam You were my one love Away from home Lay with me Be it briefly Come close, Im coming clean Pupils sway In bauble blues Do you feel as I do Lamenting light Once in your eyes Septembers sunsets Cascade the night A Pink hue surrounds you i dont know why you dont take your time to think twice a pink hue surrounds you makes me wanna feel alive? ill take you places where you wanna go ill take your pain and make your body whole its such a shame the way you treat your bones i see your glow i see your afterglowLyrics:
lately ive been feeling gray a little less human a little less human a little less human thinking about the ways i used to like to be maybe some day well create some harmony thinkin bout a way to get all that i want maybe some day you could be the one lady come on lately ive been feeling gray a little less human a little less human a little less human (maybe im a bit less)Lyrics:

So hung up Got sun sitting in my blood I wanna leave To dip my feet I spent some time To search for a place to hide I saw your face from underneath Drip away My vision flawless As i await your full reveal I am captivated You reel me in Steps from shame I wanna see your whole body sway I step inside as you call my name You let me in ~~ Falling through the symphonies I just wanna hear your voice Hidden inbetween theirs Melt into cacophony Ringing in my ears is yours Swimming through the white noise ~~ Gasp of air A grasp of something is all i need Maybe you Could be the one that will deceive me Sing your songs Enchant my senses with your stories Make me feel like i will never be left lonely Drip away My vision flawless As i await your full reveal I am captivated You reel me in Steps from shame I wanna see your whole body sway I step inside as you call my name You let me in ~~ Falling through the symphonies I just wanna hear your voice Hidden inbetween theirs Melt into cacophony Ringing in my ears is yours Swimming through the white noiseLyrics:
You said that you were one of us Sitting around the wild fire Sinning around with her wild side She said that you were one of us One of the kids from back in the day When the world was more lonely Chorus Be cool to her Dont act like a fool because Youre one of us One of us (x2) Dont try to offer her the silly things You do on a day to day Basis because Youre one of us One of us (x) One of us, one of us, one of us Verse You said youll never run from us Told us that youre ours til youre dead and gone But youre running from us now And chasing after her wont get her heart to trust you again Since you became the one who tore her heart apart as a friend You wont be one of us, one of us, one of usLyrics:
heights looking down from above the sky by my fingertips the polychrome below you wanna play it out live walking through a sea of colors floating through I wanna see you lie down its so surreal its so slow Kaleidoscope Thousands of crystals down below Spend all my time to let it go You wanna play it out of my mind ~~~ I feel so right stop me if you want it all hold me down and beg i still wont give you anything spent time in a polychrome still i got my head right still i got my head right i feel alright i feel alright ~ all my thoughts tesselate for you its been so wrong its been so wrong a single breath i drew from you its been so long its been so long ~ dont wanna be in it all dont wanna be in it i wanna be in it all i wanna be in itLyrics:

drip out the mouth fall on the ground lying awake for a long time dont make it loud youre golden now gather like hounds in the dogpound growling startled animal a little cat call darling i want you to leave me alone heavy blanket of your gold feel the fire i have been reborn think a puff is well deserved pray to someday be, evermore evermore sent my only pair of shoes away walked a mile with blistered feet in forest rains i want to be your lover i want to be your friend i want to be your demon i want to be your hell try to be your summer swimming in my eyes losing yourself you never what youd find i dont want to see you cry anymore i need a little smile every once in a while may be youve been stuck in rut let me turn your blood to gold turn your blood to goldLyrics:
spent my days locked away from your eyes letting myself create a place to getaway away daydreaming years to leave my mark as I grow old spent scheming visions I've had space that I belong home always whispers in my ear home is quite lovely i hear feels like home it feels like home splash of paint watch its ends curl and dry as sun rays escape all i see is my little hideaway away home always whispers in my ear home is quite lovely i hearLyrics:
I woke up Lost at sea Memories On the breeze I woke up Lost at sea Memories of it underneath
