Lyrics
What have I done?
Reflecting on past actions and their consequences.
You call and I come
Readiness to respond or assist when called.
Crawling back home
Returning to a familiar place, possibly seeking comfort.
To give back these bones
Returning with a sense of giving back, perhaps seeking redemption.
Choking myself like a dog on a chain
Expressing inner struggles, feeling restrained and suffocated.
I want to get to you
Desire to reach someone before potential conflict or harm.
Before you get to me
Fear of confrontation or negative outcomes.
Cause there's something about
Mysterious or intriguing qualities in the other person.
The way that you say,
Appreciating the way words are spoken by the other person.
"Don't be afraid,
Reassurance and encouragement not to fear.
No don't be afraid when this comes"
Emphasizing the need to stay unafraid in challenging situations.
If love is a long kiss goodnight
Comparing love to a comforting, prolonged farewell.
Then sweet dreams
Transitioning to a peaceful state symbolized by sweet dreams.
They'll turn out the lights
Society turning away when convinced of our rest/sleep.
When they are sure we're asleep
Awareness of persistent external influences.
But I still hear the voices
Hearing voices or influences from below, resisting conformity.
That call from below
Expressing the desire to resist external pressures.
And I want to let them know
Asserting commitment to holding onto a connection or relationship.
That we are never letting go
Commitment to staying strong and not letting go.
But there's something about
Similar mysterious qualities in external influences.
The way that they say,
Appreciating the way external influences speak.
"Don't be afraid,
Reassurance from external influences not to fear their calls.
No don't be afraid when we call"
Emphasizing the need to stay unafraid when called upon.
Come and rest your bones
Invitation to find solace and peace.
Beneath this field of stones
Suggesting a final resting place or a place of comfort.
This place will become your home someday
Assurance that the suggested place will eventually become a home.
And there we'll stay
Commitment to staying in this peaceful place.
Come rest your bones
Reiteration of the invitation to rest and find peace.
Come and rest your bones
Reiteration of the invitation to find solace and peace.
Beneath this field of stones
Repetition of the suggestion of a final resting place.
This place will become your home someday
Reassurance that the suggested place will become a home.
And there we'll stay
Final commitment to staying in this peaceful place.
