About This Track

'Cliff' by Låpsley is an Electronic track from the album 'Long Way Home' (2016). The lyrics set up a tense, intimate scenario: a nameless boy is presented as available in some desperate sense, while the narrator keeps moving right up to the edge, trying to intervene as the other figure shakes. The repetition of “Take me to the cliffs” turns the chorus into a kind of plea, alternating between risk and rescue as the relationship remains shadowy.

"Cliff" is a track by Låpsley, from the album Long Way Home, released 4th March 2016. The track is 4:28 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Låpsley.

Lyrics

Cliff

Everything

Take me to the cliffs, there is a boy, heart's up for sale and he is shaking
I walk close to the edge with this boy without a name, I try to save him
Take me to the cliffs, there is a boy, heart's up for sale and he is shaking
I walk close to the edge with this boy without a name, I try to save him
I walk close to the edge with this boy without a name, I try to save him
I walk close to the edge with this boy without a name, I try to save him

Takes me to the water, it's so clear now that he wants her, I walk away
The air is getting colder, I feel shadows leave my shoulder, he has nothing to say
Sickness that's among us moving back into a lawless state of mind
Sinking into sand, he's reaching out for someone's hands, you know I tried

Separate
Separate, separate, separate, separate
Everything
Separate, separate, separate, separate

Take me to the cliffs, there is a boy, heart's up for sale and he is shaking
I walk close to the edge with this boy without a name, I try to save him
Take me to the cliffs, there is a boy, heart's up for sale and he is shaking
I walk close to the edge with this boy without a name, I try to save him
I walk close to the edge with this boy without a name, I try to save him
I walk close to the edge with this boy without a name, I try to save him

Takes me to the water, it's so clear now that he wants her, I walk away
The air is getting colder, I feel shadows leave my shoulder, he has nothing to say

Everything is priced
Are you willing to pay?
If you willing to pay, if you willing to pay

Everything is

Everything is priced
Are you willing to pay?
If you willing to pay, if you willing to pay
Everything is priced
Are you willing to pay?
If you willing to pay, if you willing to pay

Take me
Take me

Everything is priced
Are you willing to pay?
If you willing to pay, if you willing to pay
