Cradle
Echoes of Pride and Silence: Adrianne Lenker's 'Cradle' Unveiled
Lyrics
Cradle more
Care for or embrace more
The hours reel
The passing of time is disorienting
Cradle more
Care for or embrace more
How you feel
Be attentive to your emotions
Baby, you're still too proud to come down
Despite challenges, maintain pride
Maybe I'm still too loud to hear
Possibly, I am too expressive for you to notice
All the waves ascend and disappear
Natural cycles of change and disappearance
Like a storm
Similar to a storm, you disturb the atmosphere
The air you steal
The atmosphere you create takes away breath
Glacial form
A cold and unfeeling presence
The icy heel
A metaphorical reference to a harsh, unyielding influence
Baby, you're still too proud to come down
Despite challenges, maintain pride
Maybe I'm still too loud to hear
Possibly, I am too expressive for you to notice
All the waves ascend and disappear
Natural cycles of change and disappearance
Earth is born
Life is created with the capacity for both harm and healing
To wound and heal
Care for or embrace more
Cradle more
The passing of time is disorienting
The hours reel
Care for or embrace more
Baby, you're still too proud to come down
Despite challenges, maintain pride
Maybe I'm still too loud to hear
Possibly, I am too expressive for you to notice
All the waves ascend and disappear
Natural cycles of change and disappearance
