Lyrics
My mind's in the trees
Feeling mentally connected to nature, possibly seeking solace or peace.
With the birds when they sleep
Identifying with the tranquility of birds' slumber, a serene state of mind.
As our ghosts float up t'wards the moon
Imagining spirits or memories ascending toward the moon, hinting at departure.
Though lifeless we seem
Appearing lifeless but still holding onto something valuable.
We're still holding the string
Clutching onto a connection or commitment that will eventually end.
That someday we will have to let go
Acknowledging the inevitability of letting go at some point.
Though sometimes I get caught in the tide
Feeling overwhelmed or swept away by emotions or circumstances.
Shaking hands
Experiencing nervousness or tension.
Showing teeth
Displaying discomfort or defensiveness.
Searching eyes
Seeking or observing something with intensity.
And the things in my hands
Holding onto possessions or responsibilities that hinder movement.
Tie me down where I stand
Feeling restricted or constrained by certain obligations.
When from somewhere you call me back home to your side
Being called back to a comforting or familiar place or person.
And life's but a dream
Viewing life as transient or fleeting.
Made of levers and strings
Life is composed of manipulable elements, hinting at control.
As our ghosts float up t'wards the moon
Reiteration of spirits or memories ascending toward the moon.
While peaceful we lay
At peace and untroubled, not fearing what comes next.
Not afraid of the day
Anticipation of a moment of release and departure.
When we let go and all fly away
Embracing the idea of flying away together when the time comes.
Though sometimes I get caught in the tide
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed or swept away by emotions or circumstances.
Shaking hands
Experiencing nervousness or tension.
Showing teeth
Displaying discomfort or defensiveness.
Searching eyes
Seeking or observing something with intensity.
And the things in my hands
Holding onto possessions or responsibilities that hinder movement.
Tie me down where I stand
Feeling restricted or constrained by certain obligations.
When from somewhere you call me back home to your side
Being called back to a comforting or familiar place or person.
And life's but a dream
Reiteration of life's transient nature.
Made of levers and strings
Life is constructed from manageable parts, suggesting some level of control.
As our ghosts float up
Continuation of spirits or memories rising toward the moon.
T'wards the moon
Repetition of the ascent of spirits or memories toward the moon.
While peaceful we lay
Being calm and unafraid, anticipating departure.
Not afraid of the day
Welcoming the idea of collectively departing someday.
When we let go and all fly away
So who's ready to find a new way
Asking who is prepared or open to discovering a different path or approach.
