Discover the story of the song > Forwards Beckon Rebound – Adrianne Lenker

In these lyrics, the protagonist is feeling confident and unafraid. They talk about being by the Dead Sea and not being scared anymore. They close their eyes and feel the wind blowing, which sounds like a howling dog and laughing clown. The protagonist then talks about seeing pictures in their partner's house and mouth, and how they have nothing to pray to anymore. They mention feeling close to their partner, both as a villain and as an innocent baby. The chorus repeats the idea of moving forward and bouncing back from the mystery of lacking something.
