    I have accepted it
    I'm disconnected
    I am a monster in a maze and in a way I’ll live forever
    I have accepted it
    I am connected
    My ugly head is like a mushroom on a tree of knotted muscle
    I have accepted it
    I am two halves and two hearts
    One was on a hook while the other one just watched
    And then they named me
    They called me Asterion
    But they were fools for naming me anything at all
    I have accepted it
    I'm disconnected
    I am the body that you bury in the ground
    I have accepted it
    I am connected
    I am alive in the ground like a bug
    You'll never know me
    None of you will ever see my face
    No matter how much we long to face the unknown
    And that’s okay
    Yeah, that's okay
    I have taught myself to dance alone
    I hear your parties and your music in the evening
    I hear your laughter and your singing creeping over the walls
    So I taught myself to dance alone
    I am the star of these infinite halls
    I am the owner of my lone owl feather
    And that is all
    And while I know I'm not the brightest fire
    I'll never really understand why
    You never sing any songs for me
    You never bang on the door
    There once was two different kinds of shadow
    Dancing in a trance by the sea
    And one was in disguise
    Disguised as the other
    They were attempting some kind of harmony
    I was born into this
    We were all born
    You were born like a pearl
    We were all born
    We were all born
    We were all born
    From wall to wall, I am the star of these infinite halls
    And while I know I'm not the brightest fire
    I'll never really understand why
    You never sing any songs for me
    You never sing any songs for me
    And while I know I'm not your only monster
    I'll never really understand why
    You never sing any songs about me
    You never sing any songs about me
    You never sing any songs about me
    You never sing any songs about me
    You never sing any songs about me
    You never bang on the door
    I have accepted it
    And I forgive you
    I am this monster in this maze and in a way I’ll live forever
    You’ll never know me
    None of you will ever see my face
    No matter how much we long to face the unknown
    And that's okay
    Yeah, that’s okay
    We were all born
    We were all born
    You were born like a pearl
    We were all born

      I thought he was saying "They named me, they called me a scary old myth" and not "They named me, they called me Asterion" but this is right. >>> In Crete, the Minotaur was known by the name Asterion, a name shared with Minos' foster-father.

    I can't adequately articulate why but I love these lyrics transposed with a bunch of individual animals acting out a natural beautiful mysterious group behavior.

    Amazing how the lyrics are about a mythological creature that lived centuries ago, yet today, they're more relevant than ever. Thank you, Spencer Krug.

      No joke. I've been following Krug since 2003 and he's easily the brightest star of modern music.

    I didn't like this at first, and was very apprehensive to hear his voice like that.
    But goddamn did it grow on me (like a mushroom) once the bass and melodies kicked in.
    I have accepted it.

    when i first heard Wolf Parade i was much more attached to and affected by Krug’s songs; not to say that Boeckner can’t write a great song, cause he can! But i didn’t really hear about his moonface stuff until Vibraphone came out, and i was really impressed by the depth of that album, especially Whale Song. the album that really got me was Julia with blue jeans on. that’s still in my top ten albums. this album took a little longer to get attached to, and i think it’s because of the use of steel drums and autotune that i didn’t quite understand right away. but after realizing the background for the Minotaur series, i started really appreciating it. this song specifically moved me very deeply. i think we have all been the minotaur at some point in our lives, and this song really speaks to the desperation and despair that can be overcome if we seek to forgive and accept our life as it is.
    love you Spencer
