Lyrics

Without his body

Feeling disconnected from his physical body.

Naked and bare

Vulnerable, exposed, and without any covering or protection.

Quiet and obviously not there

Quiet and clearly absent or missing.

I am that naked thing

The speaker identifies as that exposed, vulnerable entity.

Swimming in air

Metaphorically feeling weightless, as if floating or flying without physical constraints.

Why's that mean anything?

Questioning the significance or importance of feeling weightless.

Why do you stare?

Questioning someone's intense observation or gaze.

Lean on your table

Encouraging reliance or support on someone else.

Ask what you want of me

Requesting clarification or desires from the other person.

I am unable

Feeling incapable or unable to fulfill requests or expectations.

Cry with me, cry with me

Pleading for emotional connection and shared sorrow.


Within this body

Reflecting on the speaker's physical presence or identity.

Confuse

Feeling disoriented or puzzled about the concept of home.

Confuse my home for a refuge

Mixing up the idea of home with a place of safety.

I don't want to be scared of

Expressing fear of letting others get too close or invade personal space.

Anybody coming in

Desire to avoid the discomfort of having others intrude.

I don't want to lock my door anymore

Desire to abandon the need for isolation or protection.


Hand me that cable

Asking for a tool or means to connect with something external.

Plug into anything

Seeking to attach to anything for stability or grounding.

I am unstable

Feeling emotionally or mentally unsteady.

Rock and sing, rock and sing

Suggesting a coping mechanism of finding solace through rhythm and music amidst instability.
