What is “Coral Pulse” about?

"Coral Pulse" takes the album underwater, placing its beat beneath a coral reef and the waves. The lyric is a plain invitation to dance without stopping, "move your body to the deep," before paring itself back to the single word of the title, echoed again and again. At track five on Tide Clock, it marks the turn from the sunlit imagery of the opening songs toward the sea and tide titles that run through the rest of the record.

Coral Pulse lyrics

Pulse beneath the coral reef
Pulse beneath the waves we breathe

Move your body to the deep
Move your body never sleep

Pulse
(pulse... pulse... pulse...)
Beneath the coral
