About This Track

'Sidewinder' by Stand Atlantic is a 2017 indie rock track from the album 'Sidewinder - EP'. The lyrics set up a series of sharp comparisons, then shift into a more resentful, replacement fantasy, with the speaker describing being “stuck deep” in another person’s grasp and demanding release. There is also an accusatory edge to the imagery, as whispers, regrets, and silhouettes blur together into a breakup-in-motion feeling. The song’s vocal delivery stays urgent, matching the sense of being pulled under and then spat back out.

"Sidewinder" is a single by Stand Atlantic, from the album Sidewinder - EP, released 14th September 2017. The track is 2:42 long. It's filed under Indie Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Stand Atlantic.

Lyrics

Sidewinder

I'm a wave in the ocean
You're a tree in the orchard
So I'm out like I'm under
Stuck deep in your soil

From my chest to my head
To the breath on your neck
Silhouettes and regrets
Now replace you instead
Spit me out, spit me out

Until you feel like it
'Cause your whispers just soothe me
They grow deeper
They shake me and they linger
I'm relegated to them, you're a bluebird in the winter
Disguising the way you hide
Like a sidewinder

You lack the conviction
So suffer in silence
With self-medication
And it's sour elation

I've been muting the colors on my skin
I've been matching the distance that you bring
Fall asleep to the pressure
That I can't make this better
'Cause you won't let me further in
Spit me out, spit me out

Until you feel like it
'Cause your whispers just soothe me
They grow deeper
They shake me and they linger
I'm relegated to them, you're a bluebird in the winter
Disguising the way you hide
Like a sidewinder

You could have used some respect
Instead you play with my head
And I will never let you cry alone
I'm on the side of the fence
You don't call home

Sidewinder, wake me in the dark of night
So you can take me to the place you hide

'Cause your whispers just soothe me
To go deeper
They shake me and they linger
I'm relegated to them, you're a bluebird in the winter
Disguising the way you hide
Like a sidewinder
