Bathtub Mermaid [Cover & Animatic]
546Happy love day!! What better mood than a pretty little song about intense yearning and obsessive love? 😃
~
I only just recovered from the flu yesterday, so had to figure out all these different parts and harmonies, record it, and mix it all together in less than a day, so PHEW. I'm pretty proud of how it came out! And this animatic?? Holy heck, yo!! Hazel did SO AMAZING on this!! Please go give them some well-deserved love for their work! Find them at @HazelEyeArt on twitter!

Lyrics:
Rise and fall
Silver moon tide erased my footprints
Then I picked up broken scales
Stuck them to my tail
Ah
If love truly makes you blind
Then I guess
There is no need (There is no need to see)
I'll trade my eyes
So you can see for me
Lulala Lulalila
Stay with me
You will never be sad
I
I will embrace
Embrace your bubbles, your fluids
And keep you warm
Then
I will squeeze out
Squeeze out your germs, your spore, your viruses
I
I will embrace
Embrace your membranes, your bones
And keep you cool
Then
I will squeeze out
Squeeze out your evil, your grim and your woe
Transform myself
Once and for all
Sink into the tub
Reborn
Reform
Twist my legs to one and mind to none
Tell me, tell me
What do you see
In the mirror that's covered in chalky steam
Touch me touch me
Kiss me to sleep
Cut me open and give me gills
So I can breathe
With tweezers and nippers
Trim off my fins
And forever I'll be yours
I won't fight or make you cry
Whatever you need
Whenever you need
I'll be by your side
And then I gave you my eyes
To see all the colours
And then I gave you my ears
To hear all the sirens
And then I gave you my heart
To fill in the emptiness in your chest
And then I gave you my brain
So that you can learn to love
Tell me, tell me
What do you see
In the water that's clinging onto my skin
Cut me cut me
Please make it deep
If I'm covered in scars
Will you look at me
Kiss me kiss me
Don't leave me be
I'm a bathtub mermaid
I cannot swim but only sing
Just pull the plug
Flush down all your memories
Into the sea
