To me, this song feels like some sort of character trying to motivate and soothe the lost during nuclear war. Especially with "we'll rise when the birds sing" and "shut your ears when sirens sing". And them trying to get them to safety, "Get to where the two ends meet" could be the difference in war zone and a safe zone. Just my interpration.

[@s0up_1223]

It seems to me like it’s a group of forest spirits or fae trying to snatch you away but promising fun and happiness with no boredom but in reality it’s actually a trap

[@Sleepyvoidboi2111]

Sirens could also relate to the mythical creature that hypnotizes you with its song

Rising when the birds sing is representative of getting up at Dawn. Sirens are mythical creatures tempting sailors into the water with song. i.e. Don't listen to the haters

I was thinking "dark whimsy" and "joyful purgatory" Edit: you definitely hit the nail on the head though

[@editswithluna9697]

one of my favorite things about this song is the almost always overlooked reference to a poem called "The Jabberwocky" by lewis carrol which was insane in wording(quite literally called a nonsense poem). The references are the lines "Don’t let moments pass along and waste before your eyes, March with me and the borogoves, Come with me and the slithy toves, And never ask us why." relating to the poems first and last paragraphs "twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe: all mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe"

Where the Jabberwocky’s small green tentacles do flow, And the Quangle Wangle plays in the rain and the snow." The Moss was the first song I found from Cosmo Sheldrake, and later I found a few others including this one. It's certainly a unique style!

This song to me, feels like it was sung by a charismatic evil spirit - beckoning and persuading you to abandon everything you've ever lived for to come enter its lair. A mysterious, cold cave located deep in the forest covered in moss and roots. Ancient paintings and symbols, lines of torches and bioluminescent plants decorating the interior of the lair. Once you enter, you never come back.

its okay if you didnt know (i didnt either until someone told me) but goblin originated as an antisemetic charicature, so i really dont reccomend using that term. instead you could call it: gremlincore, forestcore, dark cottagecore, green academia, faecore, corvidcore, or cryptidcore. not using the word goblin helps push back against antisemitism. im not asking you to completely give up the gremlincore aesthetic (the aesthetic itself is really nice i love it a lot) but rather to use terms that arent offensive. thank you! /lh /nm /g (edit: i just realised that your comment was a year old, but just in case im sorrybsjbhfj)

[@Eselta_]

It fascinates me that all the references to classic literature, children's stories, fairytales and nursery rhymes, blend so seamless to create a wonderous enchantment in a forlorn world, the likes of which I haven't feel since reading Terry Pratchett's "Lords and Ladies" when I was young. Heffalump is from Winnie The Pooh (at least, as far as I know), Borogroves and Silthy Troves are both from Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, the reference to "the pigsty" is a classic in both Hans Christian Andersen's and Brothers Grimm's fairytales, and the entire thing is wrapped in the energy of woodland spirits who lure kids away from home. This is magnificent. My comparison to "lords and Ladies" comes from the fact that in the story the elves are described as instilling wonder in people, making them do as they're bid, when in reality the elves are terrible creatures, but noone sees that except for the few who see the world as it really is.

I imagine two characters, a girl and a boy, dancing around in a fair or a circus, whilst running away from someone for some sort of prank they did. I imagine them running in a big crow of people celebrating, all dressed in vibrant colors, under sparkling lights and fireworks, with a band playing as the two of them run and laugh around and between the members.
