Unveiling Silence: Julia Holter's Enigmatic Statue Lyrics
Lyrics
I gave you a statue
I presented you with a statue
Wonder why they're so still on label
Reflecting on why they remain motionless on the label
Could it be
Contemplating the possibility
Talk to me to be bull or
Engaging in conversation, whether genuine or deceptive
Ten signs that read silence
Observing ten signs conveying silence
Ten signs that read silence
Reiteration of ten signs symbolizing silence
Ten signs to
Reference to ten signs
Possible to say
Expressing the possibility of articulation
Ten signs that read silence
Mentioning ten signs indicative of silence
So born skin
Describing a birthed or inherent nature like skin
Impossible to say
Acknowledging the difficulty in expression
Ten signs that read silence
Referring again to ten signs representing silence
Frozen green, what's life
Describing a state of immobility or stagnation with green imagery
Impossible to say
Emphasizing the challenge in articulation
I can't hear
Expressing an inability to perceive or understand
Oh, oh, oh
A vocalization reminiscent of uncertainty or hesitation
Talk to me
Requesting communication or dialogue
The human whispers so cold
Depicting human whispers as chilling or emotionally distant
A few more sights
Noting a few additional observations or experiences
Don't be
Advising against a certain action or mindset
The human whisper so cold
Portraying human whispers as emotionally distant or indifferent
