MATING SCARS (Isurus metridium)

A bloodied rostrum and missing fins, teeth marks raked from gill to grin.
From far away, it's easily seen, the ordeal through which I had been

Specific gravity, taken it's toll, fateful events left their holes
Teeth replaced from ones behind, nictating membranes hide swollen eyes

Uncanny, I sailed straight to thee, in tonic immobility
One drop in a million

Spiteful seas and sharper shores, I'd suffer all again
And navigate with magnetic pores, a thousand chance occurrences
Uncanny, I sailed straight to thee, in tonic immobility
One drop in a million

To migrate is to suffer
Like fleeting friends, thermoclines come and go
A family asunder, I cheers the deserters,

An unfathomable reward, now breaths and grows

about

In October 2011, Giant Squid released their most powerful album yet, 'Cenotes' continuing the scientifically surreal, ... more adventurous tales of The Ichthyologist. Once again produced by Matt Bayles (ISIS, Mastodon), this second official release for Translation Loss Records is technically an EP, though all five songs total nearly thirty five minutes of music. Organic, crushing, swaying, sludgy, seminal. less
