About This Track

'Hedra' by Grimes is an electronic track from the album 'Darkbloom', released in 2011. The lyrics move through a restless, inward register, with the speaker repeatedly “fly” and falling, then settling into a cycle of crying at night in a quiet world, returning to the idea of 'darkbloom'. The voice is urgent but dreamlike, treating motion and loss as part of the same process.

"Hedra" is a track by Grimes, from the album Darkbloom, released 17th April 2011. The track is 3:39 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about Grimes.

Lyrics

Hedra

I fly on and on
I hold
I know I fall
In time, I will fly
I cry cry cry, inside inside
I cry at night while in a quiet world
In a darkbloom
I, when I (fly)
Oh, night, night
Oh, night, night
Oh, night, night
Oh, night, night
Oh, night, night
Oh, night, night
