Inside Of The Shell

from .​.​.​in Green by Oui Ennui

/

about

Inspired by the natal philopatry of sea turtles, who return to their birthplace to breed/lay eggs. Written from the perspective of a mother sea turtle “teaching” her eggs how to survive before she lays them.

lyrics

The light is seeping in
But don't you dare burrow
Your brain's not beneath your chin
Why is your brow furrowed?
If you want to stay alive
It's time to dive
Just pull your life inside
And count to 5....hundred thousand

INSIDE OF THE SHELL
You will be safe
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
You can melt away
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
Everything is gray
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
Its always today
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
Everyone is sane
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
It never rains
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
You won't be afraid
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
You're in the shade
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
You will be safe
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
You can melt away
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
Everything is gray
INSIDE OF THE SHELL
Its always today

I'll never hear you talk
I'll never see you walk
I'll never feel you swim
I'll never know if you live
