Portal Lyrics

In the throes of the ruby red
River that flows through this
Darkening concrete, devouring ghost afloat by
I'm with them

Up in the current and, taking in whole
I've been struggling, strangling
Others in toll have my eyes
Gone missing

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Imagining sequences, playing back visions by
Stereo air and fragmenting emissions
I've lost and found it
The loneliest thing in the shape of a fist
That I wish I could bring in this bitter abyss
Is my petrified heart
Still bound in

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Out on a balcony, reaching out to
Design this epiphany and with the sidewalks
Will do
And I just,
In the processes through means to the end
It's the glass bottle vessel and
Depths that extend to the spins between us

If I could I'd cut through the cables and cords
But I'd never be able,
My life's at the table with yours
Immortal
Nothing is sacred and nothing is sure anymore
Except all that you are and stand for
Got me toward your Portal
Your portal, your portal
Your portal
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Your portal, your portal
Your portal
Your portal

Portal Song Chart

Little Machines' opening track is a result of an experimentation with poetry. Lights explained during a Reddit AMA: "For a stretch I wrote a poem a night in attempt to free up my mind lyrically, and the first track on the album, Portal, is a direct result of that! Poetry to song."

Lights added that she wrote the song during a very frustrated, uninspired time. "I felt like I lost my knack for writing, I was angry it wasn't coming easily, sort of like I was losing my purpose," she said. "It was sort of a cry for something sure during a time that I had a lot of questions."

Muscle Memory Lyrics

After having spent a fast year
Waiting for the next time I can get you close
I grew used to being back here
Like a chorus synth line soldier at his post

You call and I respond
The sparrow and the song
I miss you when you're gone

When I am alone, I
See you in the dark, I
Talk into the empty
Like you were with me
Started on a cold night
Felt you in the low light
Noticing the reflex
Taking over me

I see you when I reach
Muscle Memory

Again, off into the next fall
I am on the back steps tryin' to let you in
See you standin' in the front hall
Maybe this is madness underneath my skin

Guess the misery spawns
Or the body it haunts
And we do what it wants

When I am alone, I
See you in the dark, I
Talk into the empty
Like you were with me
Started on a cold night
Felt you in the low light
Noticing the reflex
Taking over me

I see you when I reach
Muscle memory
I feel you when I sleep
Muscle memory

When you feel the chains
Of a thousand words
And I speak your name
Like I know you heard

I can feel you there
I can hear you move
And it moves me, too

When I'm playin' games
When I'm drinkin' wine
And I see your glass
Sittin' next to mine

I can feel you there
When you're not at home
Like I'm not alone

When I am alone, I
See you in the dark, I
Talk into the empty
Like you were with me
Started on a cold night
Felt you in the low light
Noticing the reflex
Taking over me

I see you when I reach
Muscle memory
I feel you when I sleep
Muscle memory

Muscle Memory Song Chart

This is one of three songs on the Little Machines album that Lights co-penned with Drew Pearson. The American songwriter/producer is best known for "Home," his hit collaboration with American Idol season 11 winner Phillip Phillips.

Lights admitted during a Reddit AMA that she originally hated the tune. "I just wasn't feeling it," she said. "Later on when inspiration freed up and after my team yelled at me that it was a good song, I reworked it a bit and it's one of my favs. And that felt really good!"
