Grizzly Bear – Foreground Lyrics

Pop

Take on another shift
Palms in the middle, hands in the middle
Work out another rift
Something is muffled, another juggle

This is a foreground
It is a foreground

A cross country miss
Take direction, can't connect it
I'm afraid this is
Ten detected, nine in a wreck and...
A little jetty fight
Pattern evolving, motion insolvent
Something about this might
Take all evening, I'll just be cleaning

This is a foreground
It is a foreground

    I think that this song is about how one's job can take over more of one's life than one would want. It becomes the foreground, and the important things in life are relegated to the background.

    Its about a routine relationship and how it can feel like a job. In the foreground everything looks ok
