  • Act Your Age - Mimicking Birds
    Album: Eons
    Lyrics:
    Under the above, above the below a light dome glowing from the homes on the coast
    Somehow each one makes their way back to it and every year the reservoir fills up with fluid
    Pathways, holes, and cords connect everyone to each pair of lungs inflating under the sun
    Warm eras shift back into ice ages, I go extinct and retrogress to simpler phases
    With south being below us now up are mountains, moons, and clouds
    Someday maybe act your age, stand up straight, know where and walk that way
    A low tide exposes what hides in a high tide, for every right a wrong is right on the other side
    Corn fields turn beige and into mazes, planetary systems go through certain phases
    First thing to slither up on land was a fish, walked to the forest to build cities with it
    Retire in it's incessant empire, make and fight fires, through trees weave wires
    Into your house lies but just your mind mirroring in a lake like high lake pines
    Some other day maybe feel your age lay down in a grave know 'where' and step that way, know 'when' and catch that wave, know 'why' so lie awake

    Under the above, above the below
    A light dome glowing from the homes on the coast
    Somehow each one makes their way back to it
    And every year the reservoir fills up with fluid
    Pathways, holes, and cords connect everyone
    To each pair of lungs inflating under the sun
    Warm eras shift back into ice ages
    I go extinct and retrogress to simpler phases
    With south being below us, now up are mountains
    Moons, and clouds
    Someday maybe act your age
    Stand up straight, know where and walk that way
    A low tide exposes what hides in a high tide
    For every right a wrong is right on the other side
    Corn fields turn beige and into mazes
    Planetary systems go through certain phases
    First thing to slither up on land was a fish
    Walked to the forest to build cities with it
    Retire in it's incessant empire
    Make and fight fires, through trees weave wires
    Into your house lies but just your mind mirroring in a lake-like
    High lake pines. Some other day, maybe feel your age
    Lay down in a grave. Know 'where' and step that way
    Know 'when' and catch that wave, know 'why'-so lie awake

    I learn at least one new word whenever I listen to a Mimicking Birds song for the first time.

    These guys played a block from my house... Sadly, I had not discovered them until after that... I love them!

    I started listening to these guys when Eons dropped back in the days. It's probably one of my favorite albums and so underrated. Every now and then I check to see the new comments.

    When you're going for a walk alone this song is a must.

    I listen to this song right before I take my blood pressure. It physically calms me with its beauty.

  • @nicholaslindenmeyer6472

    The lyrics are amazing. Modest Mouse definitely passed their torch to this guy.

    Beautiful fishing tune. I recommend anyone engaging in outdoor activities to listen to this song. With an elegant somber that fits the mood well.

    My brother just showed me this song. It's my new favorite. I'd love to see them live sometime 'cause this song's so deep.

    When I first heard this song, it got me down as a musician because I felt I could never write something this good...7 years later, I pretty much feel the same just more accepting of that fact
