Trap Doors
Navigating Life's Trap Doors: Broken Bells' Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
Walk out before you make it worse on yourself
Advice to leave a situation before it becomes more challenging.
Now's not the time for that elegant laugh
Discouragement from expressing joy or amusement at this moment.
Digress from the people
Suggesting a deviation or departure from certain individuals.
Once by your side
Referencing someone who was once close or supportive.
Once by your side
Repetition for emphasis on the previous closeness or support.
But now that it's over
Acknowledging the end of a situation or relationship.
You have to pick up
Encouragement to move forward and begin anew.
And just start again, start again
Emphasizing the need to start afresh.
Falling to earth
Describing a descent to reality or a challenging situation.
And you're calling it out
Crying out for help or attention while facing difficulties.
You're burning yourself and your challenge to winter
Suffering and challenging oneself during a difficult period.
Gotta clip the lines and move for yourself
Advocating for self-preservation and independence.
Just move for yourself, love
Encouragement to act in one's own best interest.
Now that it's over
Reiterating the finality of a concluded situation.
You have to pick up
Prompting resilience and moving forward after a setback.
And just watch your back, watch your back
Advising vigilance and awareness of potential threats.
And close your eyes to us
Suggesting detachment or closing off from certain individuals.
Fight fire
Encouragement to confront challenges or adversity.
Trap doors to endless wisdom
Metaphorical reference to mysterious or elusive solutions.
Young lad, have we grown too tired
Reflecting on weariness or exhaustion in the journey of life.
Longing to find
Expressing a desire to discover or find something.
Learned that in time
Highlighting the acquisition of wisdom over time.
You want it to end
Expressing a desire for a challenging situation to end.
Your life at this temperature
Commenting on the difficulty of life at a particular point.
Life under water
Metaphorically describing a submerged or overwhelming experience.
You gotta let these fools all trample themselves
Encouragement to let others face the consequences of their actions.
They trample themselves, just dying to enter
Reinforcing the idea of self-preservation and avoiding harm.
You're preaching to the choir
Addressing an audience that already agrees with the speaker.
So turn around, turn around
Suggesting a change in direction or perspective.
And close your eyes to us
Reiteration of the idea of detachment or closing off from certain individuals.
