Mizake The Mizan

Cocteau Twins · Lullabies To Violaine [2005]

Saw a mermaid in the

Long dirt closely flow

Become



Grey water

Hoist and throw me down in the water

They follow

Hoist and throw me down the waterfall



So until the hour

May call cherie hey yeah

Honey



Grey water

Hoist and throw me down in the water

They throw

Pushes something misses in me



Grey water

Hoist and throw me down in the water

They throw

Pushes something misses in me



Saw a mermaid in the

Lagoon, 'cause little

Become



Grey water

Hoist and throw me down in the water

Drowning

Hoist and throw me down the waterfall

About Mizake The Mizan

Cocteau Twins' "Mizake The Mizan" stands as a haunting centerpiece on the reissued *Lullabies To Violaine*, exemplifying the group's signature ethereal sound. Released in 2005, this recording features the band's characteristic blend of whispered vocals, layered harmonies, and atmospheric instrumentation that defined their late-career work. The track reflects the duo's deep engagement with Japanese cultural aesthetics, a recurring theme in their discography that adds a layer of exoticism to their avant-garde pop style. As part of the *Lullabies To Violaine* collection, the song continues the narrative of introspective, dreamlike soundscapes that have made Cocteau Twins a pivotal force in alternative music history. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of quiet melancholy and spiritual yearning, capturing the essence of their unique artistic vision without relying on traditional song structures.
