Mind/Body/Light/Sound

Swans is an American post-punk band originally active from 1982 to 1997, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. The band was one of the few groups to emerge from the early 1980s New York No Wave scene and stay intact into the next decade.

Throw your mind away
Fall into the sea
There's nothing solid here
Dissolve your body today
There's a sun in the sky.
We're in the atmosphere
Throw yourself in the sea
There's nothing solid down here
Mind/body/light/sound
Mindless, bodyless, soundless light
This ordinary night
This ordinary day
They're twisted out of shape
Then they disintegrate
Cool water runs through the ground
The ocean blends with the air
Throw yourself in the fire
There's nothing solid around here
Mind/body/light/sound
Mindless, bodyless, soundless light
The world was over today
The time is already gone
Throw your mind in the sea
Eternity doesn't last very long
There's some people on earth
They live in separate minds
Dissolve your body today,
There is no more outside
Mind/body/light/sound
Mindless, bodyless, soundless light
