About This Track

'Boat' by Mount Eerie is an alternative track from the 2015 album 'Sauna'. The lyrics imagine origin and return, with a river threading through domestic space and a drifting “boat” that becomes a vessel for being made, launched, and carried off. The voice moves from disconnection to motion, describing a form that feels separated, then reconstituted through building and pushing the boat into the waves. For now, the imagery stays fixed on water and shelter, even as everything inside it seems to loosen and drift.

"Boat" is a track by Mount Eerie, from the album Sauna, released 3rd February 2015. The track is 2:14 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Mount Eerie.

Lyrics

Boat

I was born out of nowhere
And back to nowhere I'll return
But for now the river next to the house
The river inside the house, and a person's form
Disconnected and drifting in my boat
I built this boat on the shore
Pushed it into the waves and was born
In this boat, blown across the north
Another island appears and then goes
Mind only plus the ocean and my boat
There's no way I will be able
To ever step outside of my boat
