Lyrics: Pretend (2017)

[rocknroll1968]

Pretend
Giants in the Trees

Let's play pretend

Oh, love
Oh, love

Sitting on the porch
Contemplate my own mind
I line up my last week [there?]
And watch the world go by

And now the movies of my mind
Are playing again
Times when we faded
We were so outta sight
Come on
Let's pretend to

Fly
Into the night
Down
Darkness fills our light
Fly
Spiral down with you
Lie near
Just learn to be good to yourself

You're falling down, love
Oh, love

You know I'm changing skin again
Looking toward the moon
Seeking violence from our mother
And wings to stir us, too

And together we run
Dusted by the desert's empty sand
[Glass grates too great?]
I fill our buckets
With the love that fills our hands

And we fly
Into the night
Down
Darkness fills our light
Fall
Spiral down with you
You're near
Just learn to be good to your soul

You're falling down, love

For two other songs that use the word "faded", click here and here. Kurt and Krist seem to have had their own special meaning for the term, which appears to be used as slang for orgasm.

Lyrics: Star Machine (2019)

[rocknroll1968]

Star Machine
Giants in the Trees

If you see it coming
When you feel divine
Did you see it coming
I hope you recognize

And I know we've been worlds apart
Can you find your way through the dark
And it's crossed my mind that
You'll never wanna see my face again

Here comes the part
Can you hear the heart
Star machine
I feel it coming down

I remember how it felt when I put you down
And I know you'll be back for me someday

And I know we've been worlds apart
Can you find your way through the dark
And it's crossed my mind that
You'll never wanna see my face again

Here comes the part
Can you hear the heart
Star machine
I feel it coming down

Yes, I've been walking down this road
Yes, I've been walking down this road
Yes, I've been walking down this road
For miles and miles and miles

Lyrics: Weight of the World (2019)

[rocknroll1968]

Weight of the World
Giants in the Trees

Can you feel it?

Everybody's got their own style
Everybody walks their own mile
Everybody's got their own scene
Come on baby, yeah, let's live off of dreams

And then it comes, yeah!
It's the weight of the world
Oh, you could be drinking up, drinking up
Oh, it always comes in a disguise
Oh, say to lift you up

Here's the van [He's the man]
I load it up
Come to grind
Yeah, burn it up [off]
Don't let go
I lose control
You're the one
Who can make it when it comes, yeah!

It's the weight of the world
I could be drinking life, drinking life
It always comes in a disguise
Oh, say to lift you up

And I know that you're the key
I see you in my dreams
I love the way you are ('cause we're going far)
I see the work of art [world go by]

'Cause everybody's got their only life
Rise in our own time
That's life in the sunshine
It's always the right time

Everybody's got their own fire
Come on baby, take me higher and higher!
When it gets to you
Will you see it through
I don't know, I don't know
If your low is so flow[?]

Let it come, yeah!
It's the weight of the world
Oh I could be drinking life, drinking life[?]
Oh, it always comes in a disguise, yeah
Oh, say to lift you up

Like a flash
I hit the gas
Roll it up
I knew you'd come
I only told ya
Thought I warned ya
Yeah, you're the only one
Who can make it when it comes, yeah!

It's the weight of the world
Oh, you could be drinking life, drinking life[?]
Oh, it always comes in a disguise
Oh, say to lift you up

And I know that you're the key
I see you in my dreams
I love the way you are ('cause we're going far)
I see the work of art

Everybody's got their only life
Rise in your own time
That's life in the sunshine
So, we both can't live some season
Watch for the fireflies
Now it's a sure sign
It's always the right time

Archivist's notes: I isolated the vocal and compared with another fan's transcription. Corrections welcome, especially on the parts in brackets.

I absolutely love the double meaning in the "come to grind/burn it up" line. Weed, sex, or both? Probably both. Krist, king of puns. X)
