I assume you’ve listened to the track just below this post or at this link. If, like me, you were left somewhat confused then you’ll have come up with incorrect lyrics such as those below. Do enjoy the process of figuring them out for yourselves and if an epiphany arrives then share with all of us: the confused.
Edit: Thanks to wupfunk, Ludros, Dan and teresaaa7 for the big improvements.
“Scale It Back”
Words written by Yukimi Nagano
I swear I saw blue light
My feet followed it outside
And I thought I heard someone say
Fly far away
And when you reach up the sky is there
This clueless weather know
We swing the waves, and let it go
Until I heard someone say
Over a horizon and beyond
Oh, where you’re reach and knocked over stars
Like light I came from pocket finesse
Every moment I see with eye closed
Take me to places where we can start
Like light I came from pocket finesse, every
Nothing can steal this treasure from us, babe
I’m still in luck– now
Fighting the sounds
Take chances and come closer to me babe
I’m fallin’ out – now
i think the first few lines may be,
i swear i saw the blue light,
my feet followed it outside…
maybe?
here’s what i could make out from taking the acapella and slowing it down, still not 100% convinced of all of it though:
i swear i saw blue light
my fear followed it outside
and i thought i heard someone say
fly far away
and when you reach up the sky is there
this clueless weather know
we swing the weights and let it go
until i heard someone say
over the rise and beyond
oh when you reach and knocked over stars
like light i came from pocket movements
every moment i see with eye closed
take me to places where we can start
like light i came from pocket movements
ooh, ooooooh
nothing can steal this treasure from us babe
in sin and luck
now
fighting the sounds
take chances and come closer to me babe
i’m fallin out
now
take chances and come closer to me babe
i’m fallin out
Thanks so very much, everyone. I’ve amended them – hopefully coming to a closer realisation.
‘finesse’ could also be ‘witness’
These lyrics make a lot more sense than the 99% of lyrics on those lyric sites that come up on google search
not sure if it matters too much but I hear over the ‘horizon’ rather than over the ‘rise’
and Robotaki remix of this song FTW
The remix is amazing, so true. As for the lyrics, I think you’re spot on, so I’ve corrected it above. Thanks so much!
