About This Track

'Barefoot' by Pumarosa is an alternative song from the album 'The Witch' (2017). The lyrics linger on disorientation after a small argument, with images of dust settling and a city street scene that feels cold and waterlogged, before the voice admits, “When I drown I drown”. The language mixes quiet surprise with a sense of being overwhelmed, as if reconciliation has been replaced by numb immersion.

"Barefoot" is a track by Pumarosa, from the album The Witch, released 18th May 2017. The track is 4:22 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Pumarosa.

Lyrics

Barefoot

I see the settling I have in my eyes
Imagine my surprise
Heaven and earth have both fled way
After the argument that was very little to say
Uh uh uh oh yeah as the dust came down
Uh uh uh uh
When I drown I drown
Uh uh uh uh
Lining wood slab on a cold city street
Soaking up the rain
With the soles of my feet
Now the city feels like a cold cruel place
When you're down on your luck and it spits in your face
Uh uh uh I walk barefoot now
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh on the edge of the Nile
Uh uh uh
I tread lightly on no man's land
With my high wheels on I keep sinking in sand
Now I'm buying coffee and I'm drinking some rum
If Mezcal wasn't so tight
I'd run and run and run and run and run and run and run
Uh uh uh I walk barefoot now
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh on the edge of the Nile
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh I walk barefoot now
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh on the edge of the Nile
Uh uh uh

    Their debut album ‘The Witch’ was a critical darling, but with its arrival came news that changed everything for Pumarosa. Now back with a second album which rips up expectation; they’re a band reborn.

    Pumarosa: "We've found our sound"

    Pumarosa are one of those formidable bands who combine fun with being a bit weird, and also really bloody good - and their debut album is everything you’d hope it would be.
