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."
