about

About this track:

"Gnarled" is the third track on Étale's debut album, "Phynai", the first part of a two-part concept album. Released in tandem with the complementary fifth track, "They Grow Toward the Light", on "Phynai", the aural experience of "Gnarled" stands in marked contrast to that of "They Grow Toward the Light", exploring natural growth in a darker light.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Sickly sequoioideae
Rests in catatonic state
Moat of thorns surround

Crawled out on a limb 
Too far away from home
So far below me
Cradle oaken
Bough has broken
Dragged down by the
Weight of all the world

Knotted roots tangle below
Draining from the Earth’s marrow
Growing stronger

Crawled out on a limb 
Too far away from home
So far below me
Cradle oaken
Bough has broken
Dragged down by the
Weight of all the…

Spire of brier the crown
Animosity unbound
Ghastly flora

Crawled out on a limb 
Too far away from home
So far below me
Cradle oaken
Bough has broken
Dragged down by the
Weight of all the world
