Lyrics

Well I stumbled and I crawled inside

The speaker faced difficulties and entered a situation.

Your Ivory Tower is covered by these black blinds

Your prestigious and secluded place is obscured or hidden.

If you can buy what you want

You might have material possessions, but...

But I can get what I need

The speaker can acquire essential things.

You can't ever by the soul son

No amount of wealth can purchase someone's soul.

Its always been free

The soul has always been inherently free.

Free

Emphasizing the freedom of the soul.

You can lose control just one last time

Letting go of control for the last time.

I won't hear your words, I'm so high

The speaker is disconnected, perhaps intoxicated or elevated.

If you'll never tell well I just

If the person refuses to communicate...

Might teach a little trick on how to live as a lunatic in disguise

The speaker might demonstrate how to live eccentrically without being noticed.

Well I mumbled and I crumbled to the floor

The speaker struggled and fell apart.

Your hallway is so much longer than I remember before

The space or journey feels elongated and unfamiliar.

If you can buy what you want

Similar sentiment as line 3, repeating the idea of acquisition.

But I can get what I need

The speaker reiterates their capability to obtain what they require.

Who really wins the days

A philosophical question about what truly prospers.

The flowers or the seed

The comparison between the results of actions and their origins.

It's so free

Reiterating the concept of freedom.

Free

Emphasizing the inherent freedom once again.

You can lose control just one last time

A repetition of letting go of control for the final time.

I won't hear your words, I'm so high

The speaker remains disconnected despite attempts to communicate.

If you'll never tell well I just

If the person refuses to disclose...

Might teach a little trick on how to live as a lunatic in disguise

The speaker might impart the secret of living inconspicuously.

Disguise

Reaffirmation of living in disguise.

Disguise

Repetition, emphasizing the theme of disguise.

Disguise

Repetition, reinforcing the concept of living in disguise.
