Lyrics
[Intro: underwater chimes, reversed music box]
[Vani: whispered]
Hilo azul, bajo el mar
Follow me where the ribbons are
[Lia: distant]
Vani? Where are you?
[Verse 1][Vani]
Blue thread crawling from the kitchen drain
Slithered up the staircase like a vein
Through the nursery, beneath the door
To a room I've never seen before
Pearls on the ceiling, rust on the lock
Little wet footprints around the clock
Hundred pretty ribbons, hanging in rows
Every single knot has a name I know
[Pre-Chorus][Vani]
Pull one loose, hear the floorboards cry
Something in the bathtub opens its eyes
Silk around my wrist, pulling me inside
Hear the little house say—
[Chorus][Both]
Ribbon tide, ribbon tide
Pretty little knots with a secret inside
Tie me tight, tell me lies
Watch the blue come alive tonight
Snip, snip, let it slide
Hear the water climbing up the sides
You can dress a cage in silk and pearls
But the tide won't keep your perfect girls
[Verse 2][Vani]
Found my name sewn into a sheet
Found her name underneath my feet
Every door has a bow on its spine
Every pretty little prison has a design
No me amarres, déjame salir
The walls are breathing underneath the sea
Took the silver scissors from the shelf
Cut the first knot, heard somebody yell
[Lia]
Stop! The house is shaking!
[Vani]
Good. Let it.
[Chorus][Both]
Ribbon tide, ribbon tide
Pretty little knots with a secret inside
Tie me tight, tell me lies
Watch the blue come alive tonight
Snip, snip, let it slide
Hear the water climbing up the sides
You can dress a cage in silk and pearls
But the tide won't keep your perfect girls
[Bridge: muffled heartbeat, distant whale-like synth]
[Lia]
They tied these bows when we were small
Said they'd catch us if we'd fall
If you cut them, where will we go?
What if we're safer here below?
[Vani]
Look at your wrists, look at mine
We've been wearing chains disguised
怖くても、手を離さない
Take my hand, we'll be alright
[Lia]
Then give me the scissors.
[Instrumental: sharp snips, distorted harp]
[Final Chorus: heavy drums, rising strings]
[Both]
Ribbon tide, ribbon tide
Cut the pretty knots and let the ocean rise
No more bows, no more lies
Watch the blue swallow the night
Snip, snip, one last tie
See the little house begin to cry
You can dress a cage in silk and pearls
But you can't keep your perfect girls!
[Outro: water rushes, three warped music-box notes]
[Lia]
Vani... the basement door.
[Vani]
I know.
[Metal lock falls to the floor]
