about

Body of Water is the first collaboration between Scottish electronic alt-pop duo Post Coal Prom Queen and Japanese electro-pop band macaroom.

The track is a unique blend of beautiful electroacoustic composing, Lily Higham’s ethereal vocal harmonies and Emaru’s breathy rapping in her native Japanese. Body of Water is the perfect song for spring; its hazy atmosphere and lush arrangements, combined with two stunning vocal performances, make it unlike anything you’ve heard before.

lyrics

I am water
Dripping from the ceiling

Watch me ebb and flow
Watch me ebb and flow

And when I wake I rain down
On your skin like a kiss

Watch be ebb and flow
Watch me ebb and flow

With a body of water
I fill every shape
When the sun shines on me
I become clouds again

While sleeping in a coffee cup
I heard of the ocean
And all the lives in it
I overheard the day will come
All bodies of water and streams of our consciousness

Watch me ebb and flow
Watch me ebb and flow

石鹸に体がむき出しでとろけた飴玉の味
布団に絡まる地球がまるで窓から逃げるデフューザー
インターネットの墓場から来る噂の数は知れず
私の体はどんどん溶けてく
この排水溝から洪水を

用水路を通ってあなたの血液に
新たな決意に体が追いついて
嫌われるものになりたい
明日の天気を考える 不穏な空気は続く
膨らんだ勇気は使えないけどまともなふりをする

カメラにおさえた歴史の曲がり角
贋金づくりに駆け出す自慢の住宅展示場
から研究所を通って各所で勃発
開発競争 再開発すら出来ない街にいる
けど私は興味ないから一人で焦って外に出る

いつでも私は海に行き
ねえこれ見てよ
高い堤防が囲んだ地形の境界線から
水平線までゼロになる
遊覧船から眼を見張るほどの平行線はすぐ波に
私に形がないのは理由があるからすぐにわかる

あなたが堤防だったらいいのになって
抵抗するのは野暮でも誰かが手を取り合ってる所に
君はいないから関わらない
君がいないから関わらない
そういう風に思う
ただ漂って流れて
ただ漂って流れて

When I am a puddle you slip down
I clean out all your wounds
And join up your tears

Watch me ebb and flow
Watch me ebb and flow

With bodies of water we'll go to the sea
We'll join with the storm
And you'll join with me

While sleeping in a coffee cup I heard of the ocean
And all the lives in it
I overheard the day will come
All bodies of water and streams of our consciousness will join
