Swans - Kirsten Supine
[Verse]
May moonlight fall upon your breast
May god send wind to lick your lips
The river flows beneath your comb
Granite, pines
Silver, shine
Green velvet throne
Folding in, folding in
The water brings
The flower string
Folding in, folding in
The water sings
The black horse scream
May planets crash
May god rain ash
To sear our skin
To fold us in
Kneeling close
Seeking hands
Our blood is warm
But what comes next?
[Outro]
I will let it go, I will let it go
I can't let it go, I can't let it go
I will let it go, I will let it go
I can't let it go, I can't let it go
I won't let it go, I won't let it go
I will let it go, I will let it go
I can let it go, I won't let it go
I will let it go, I can't let it go
I will let it go, I won't let it go
I will let it go, I can't let it go
This song pays tribute to a scene in Lars von Trier's movie "Melancholia", which tells the story of two sisters dealing with the trauma of an approaching rogue planet that is about to collide with Earth. Frontman Michael Gira explained to Consequence of Sound: "That's an homage to the scene where [Kirsten Dunst] is lying naked on the mossy stones bathed by the light of the malevolent planet."
