The Motion Makes Me Last - Eluvium, Four Tet

How does the motion make me last

I shuffle forward and then back

I can be questioning my thoughts

But not looking for what I lack

What is it that has my mind so hypnotized

When shapes are for looking at

And their colors create my mood

I’m a vessel between two places I’ve never been

To seek a further or former design

Creation as a pathogen

What’s more than subtle in these lines

I know you’re looking forward to them

What is it that has my mind so hypnotized

Evolving on a thought that you’ve half realized

Life is real only when I am (well, I am) — I am surprised

That shapes are for looking at

And their colors create my mood

I’m a vessel between two places I’ve never been
