about

After her encounter with the octopus, Natalia begins to feel as if she is truly a part of her surroundings. At this point in our journey, the voice of our narrator begins to entwine with the sea itself. She is drawn to the nearby coastline – a place of violence, seduction, persistence and change. The shore is the most constantly mutable place on earth.

lyrics

Claim, Reject, Reclaim, Repulse.

She sings her love song backwards.
She sings to anyone.
She sings to you and to me.
Where the rock meets the sea, her black inscription lies:

‘Your life an intricate blindness, your death a clear-eyed purpose.’

Lick me like a love-starved hound.

She sings her love song backwards.
The crush of water, the weight of time,
swallow the shore again and again.

She will render you.
She will render me.
Surrender! Surrender to me!

She sings her love song backwards.
