Baths – Miasma Sky Lyrics

Electronic

Tall rock shelf, are you maybe here to help me hurt myself?
Miasma Sky would you swallow me alive?
Tall rock shelf, are you maybe here to help me hurt myself?
Miasma Sky would you swallow me alive
Loud now, now in the dark of the ta da da dda tum tum
Ta da da dda tum tum
Ta da da dda tum tum
Yeah, yeah
Ta da da dda tum tum
Yeah you ta da da dda tum tum

Tall rock shelf, are you maybe here to help me hurt myself?
Miasma Sky would you swallow me alive
Realize there is very little you can do for me
Tall rock shelf, are you maybe here to help me hurt myself?
Miasma Sky would you swallow me alive

Tall rock shelf, are you maybe here to help me hurt myself?
Miasma Sky would you swallow me alive
Realize there is very little you can do for me
Tall rock shelf, are you maybe here to hel? me hurt myself?
Miasma Sky would you swallow me alive

About This Song

"Miasma Sky" is a haunting exploration of self-destructive impulses and existential despair, where Baths uses natural imagery as metaphors for internal turmoil and suicidal ideation. The song's protagonist addresses both a "tall rock shelf" and the titular "miasma sky," personifying these elements as potential agents of self-harm, reflecting a deeply troubled mental state where even the landscape seems complicit in one's desire for escape. Musically, the track exemplifies Baths' signature blend of glitchy electronic textures with ambient atmospherics, creating a soundscape that feels both ethereal and unsettling. The repetitive vocal samples and fragmented lyrics mirror the cyclical nature of depressive thoughts, while the sparse, echoing production amplifies the sense of isolation and vulnerability. This piece stands as one of the most emotionally raw moments on *Obsidian*, showcasing Will Wiesenfeld's ability to transform personal darkness into deeply affecting electronic art that resonates with listeners struggling with similar mental health challenges.
