Lyrics
This a song from beneath the ground
This song emerges from a deep, hidden place.
I only echo October's sound,
The singer merely reflects the distinctive sounds associated with October.
Belly-kissed into some half-life,
Describes a state of being, possibly a subdued or incomplete existence.
Standing naked to be crucified
Symbolizes vulnerability, exposing oneself to judgment or scrutiny.
On tempered plains we speak in flames,
In a metaphorical landscape, communication occurs with intense emotions.
Questions ripping against the grain
Challenges and uncertainties are faced, going against the conventional or accepted norms.
Children scream at the already-framed
Children react to a pre-existing framework, perhaps expressing frustration or rebellion.
We are too restless to shoulder the blame
A sense of restlessness prevails, avoiding responsibility or culpability.
I don't mean to tie you down
Expresses a desire for freedom, not intending to confine or burden.
I just don't know where it's coming from
Uncertainty about the origin or source of emotions or events.
This emptiness leads to craving
An emotional void leads to a strong desire or yearning.
My autumn, no-one alive could touch her wisdom
The singer's autumn, a metaphorical figure, embodies profound wisdom that is beyond the reach of the living.
Her glint was jewelled and fired in heaven's pool
Describes the brilliance and purity of the singer's autumn, using celestial imagery.
My precious cousin, my twin, my second skin,
Refers to a close and important relationship, someone integral and inseparable.
The only thing I ever fought to win
Highlights the significance of this relationship, suggesting a hard-fought victory to maintain it.
Don't suffocate what you want to protect
Advises against suppressing or stifling what is precious or valuable.
She'll rise for air and then you'll start her descent
Warns that restricting the singer's autumn will lead to a decline or deterioration.
Far from the garden you built to impress
Refers to a constructed facade or image that fails to contain the singer's autumn.
She is the angel your friends will undress
The singer's autumn is a captivating force, even challenging social norms or expectations.
