Lyrics for The Purple Bottle as interpreted by FuneralCatering

The Purple Bottle Lyrics
I've gotta big big big big heart beat, yeah
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
I've been having good days
Think we are the right age
To start out own peculiar ways
With good friendly homes?
You get me freaked freaked freaked on preakness
Never met a girl that likes to drink with horses
Knows her chinese ballet
Must admit you smell like fruity nuts and good grains
When you show my purple gaze
A thing or two at night
Make me sick sick sick to kiss you and I think that i woud vomit
But I'll do that on mondays i dont have a work way
I like it when I bump you an accident's a truth gate
I'm humbled in your pretty lense
I'll hold you dont you go
Sometimes you're quiet and sometimes I'm quiet. Hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes you're not talkative, I know....

Well i'd like to spread your perfume around the old apartment
Could we live together and agree on the same wares?
A trapeze is a bird cage even if its empty and defintintely fits the room
And we would toooo

And my dear dear dear khalana
I talk too much about you
Their ears are getting tired of me singing all the night through
Lets just talk together
You and me and me and you
And if theres nothing much to say
Well, silence is a bore

I've gotta big big big big heart beat, yeah
I think you are the sweetest thing
I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
I've been having good days
Think we are the right age
To start out own peculiar ways
With good friendly homes?

Sometimes you're quiet and sometimes I'm quiet hallelujah
Sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes you're not talkative i know....
Sometimes you hear me when others they can't hear me. Hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm naked and thank god Sometimes you're naked. Well, hello.....

Can I tell you that you are the purple in me?
Can I call you just to hear you, would you care?
When I saw you put your purple finger on me
There's a feelin' in your bottle
Found your bottle, found your heart
Gives a feeling from your bottled little part
(Repeat)

Hey oooooo

Gotta crush high
Thought I crushed all I could
Crushed all I can then I touched your hand
Crush high
Dont want it to stop
Cause stories of your brother make my crush high pop
And you couldnt really know cause its in my toes
And sometimes i wonder whered that crush high go
Crush high then i go and take some pills
Cause i cant do all of my dos and still feel ill
You get that whooooooo (x8)
(Repeat twice)

here's what i think the (almost) complete lyrics are:

i've gotta big big big big heart beat yeah
i think you are the sweetest thing
i wear a coat of feelings and they are loud
i've been having good days
think we are the right age
to start out own peculiar ways
with good friendly homes
you get me freaked freaked freaked on preakness
i've never met a girl that
likes to drink with horses and knows her chinese ballet
i must admit you smell like fruity nuts and good grains
when you show my purple gaze a thing or two at night
make me sick sick sick to kiss you and i think that i woud vomit
but ill do that on mondays i dont have a work way
i like it when i bump you an accidents a truth gate
i'm humbled in your pretty lense
i'll hold you dont you go
sometimes you're quiet and sometimes i'm quiet hallelujah
sometimes i'm talkative and sometimes you're not talkative i know....

On mood rings, the color for "in love" is purple. I wonder if that's where purple comes into this song?

"can i tell you that you are the purple in me?
can i call you just to hear you would you care?
when i saw you put your purple finger on me"

That's a good thought of what the purple means. I always thought the purple had to do with what the color purple is associated with, which is romance, wisdom, mystery,creativity etc. so i thought that maybe that had something to do with "the purple in me"

"found your bottle" could both refer to bottled feelings "bottled little part" or more literarly it could refer to a purple bottle of perfume that this narrator has found. The same perfume he likes to spread around the apartment.

the original lyrics were amazing and flowed better, they still sing them in concert sometimes

"i just called to say i like you
i just called to wonder if OOH if you care
i just called one try, its busy
i get that feeling from the bottle
there's a bottle, there's a heart"

they had to take them out because there's some lyrics by stevie wonder, but they sound much better, check out the bootlegs

i think the purple bottle reffers to her heart,since it is the only body organ in our bodies that is constantly filled with liquid, and it also pours it constantly just like a bottle.

I'm convinced that the "purple finger" is a penis.

I agree with the very first comment, can't really see it in the lyrics (except maybe the "crush high" parts) but that's exactly the feeling I always got from it.

amazing song.

i really think it's
"i wear a coat of feelings and they're all out.."

and i'm pretty positive it's
"i'm humble in your PRETTY LIMBS.."

but i must say, it's a job well done.

i definitely think it's "and they're all out"
it just reminds me of love
or actually it just thrills me that i have a song to perfectly describe the way i feel about someone.

"can i tell you that you are the purple in me?"
going along with the theme of the purple bottle being a heart, that kind of gives the lyrics an even more beautiful meaning. can i tell you that you are my heart?

so cuteee

I love this song. Its about being in love with someone, definately. Animal Collective are amazing at being cryptic yet at the same time really transparent, aren't they?

This song is so fun to listen to, I think it's my current favourite song off Feels.

Incidentally, does anyone know who or what Khalana is? I figured it was a name, but it doesn't appear anyone ever was named that or something? I mean, when both behindthename.com and wikipedia fail ya you know that name's gone to like 2 people in the past thousand years.

It IS apparently a town in Iraq, though! Something tells me he's not singing about that, though. It WOULD make a hella twist to find out this was another war song, though, wouldn't it?

This song is amazing. It's probably the single best song to describe how you feel in the first stages after you meet somebody amazing.
As for who "khalana" is, perhaps it is yet another alias for Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir (who is both a member of the band Mum, as well as Avey Tare's wife)? He has said that many of the songs off the "Feels" album were inspired by/about his wife.

I reckon it's about love. The "high crush" part is about literally "a crush" but then they play on the word "crush". i also agree that purple is love. "can i tell you that you are the purple in me". It seems to be one of the best ways to tell someone you love them..
