Lyrics
I want to cross stitch shut my eyes
The desire to close one's eyes tightly, possibly to avoid facing reality.
Wage a war on the world outside
Expressing a desire to confront or challenge the external world.
Brace the barricade in my mind, but that's alright
Building mental defenses against external challenges, accepting the internal struggle.
I stretch the truths 'til they lose shape
Exaggerating or distorting the truth until it becomes unrecognizable.
As support beams bend and break
Observing the collapse of foundational support, potentially in one's life.
Watch reality's slow cascade, but that's alright
Witnessing the gradual breakdown of reality, yet finding acceptance in it.
And I've been thinking
Reflection on thoughts and contemplation.
Ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?
Questioning the quality of life when observed from a safe, detached perspective.
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
Undecided about leaving or staying in a situation.
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Questioning the need to scrutinize a seemingly perfect or beautiful existence.
Ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?
Reiteration of the ambivalence towards staying or leaving.
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
Undecided about leaving or staying in a situation.
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Questioning the need to scrutinize a seemingly perfect or beautiful existence.
I watch the sun dry out the grass
Observing the impact of sunlight on the environment.
Hear the silence shatter glass
Noticing the disruptive power of silence.
Feel perfection swerve and crash, but that's alright
Experiencing the disturbance caused by the deviation from perfection.
Ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?
Questioning the quality of life when observed from a safe, detached perspective.
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
Undecided about leaving or staying in a situation.
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Questioning the need to scrutinize a seemingly perfect or beautiful existence.
Ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?
Reiteration of the ambivalence towards staying or leaving.
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
Undecided about leaving or staying in a situation.
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Questioning the need to scrutinize a seemingly perfect or beautiful existence.
Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
Closing one's eyes with the hope that things will end positively this time.
Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
Repeating the desire for a positive outcome with closed eyes.
Go!
An exclamation, possibly indicating a moment of action or decision.
Ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?
Questioning the quality of life when observed from a safe, detached perspective.
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
Undecided about leaving or staying in a situation.
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Questioning the need to scrutinize a seemingly perfect or beautiful existence.
And that's alright
Acceptance of the disturbance caused by imperfection.
Ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?
Questioning the quality of life when observed from a safe, detached perspective.
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
Undecided about leaving or staying in a situation.
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Questioning the need to scrutinize a seemingly perfect or beautiful existence.
Ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?
Reiteration of the ambivalence towards staying or leaving.
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
Undecided about leaving or staying in a situation.
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Questioning the need to scrutinize a seemingly perfect or beautiful existence.
