No Flashlight, Pt. 2
Phil Elverum
""No Flashlight""
""No Flashlight"" means that there's another world and it's inside this one.
The moon is in the lake.
""No Flashlight"" means
at the lake at night, at the cold bottom, there's no pool of light, no moon, no sky, no world.
""No Flashlight"" means
at the bottom of the lake with opened eyes.
in the mountains with no flashlight and no friends
knowing the world is in song and being able to hush,
turning off the light is being welcomed home.
crawling in the dark saying ""no flashlight"" is saying ""yes"" to everything else.
