Lyrics

When the fogs lifts

Referring to a moment after confusion or uncertainty has cleared.

Are you afraid you'll drift back into it like a ghost

Expressing fear of returning to a past state or feeling like a specter, haunted by regrets or unfulfilled experiences.

Haunted by the things you missed, a meadow

Suggests a desire for a peaceful, idyllic place, but noting that perfection can be risky.

Perfect is always dangerous, you should have known

Highlighting the dangers associated with the idea of perfection, implying it's a risky pursuit.

When you walk the edge you cannot slip

Metaphorically implying caution while being on the brink or edge of something precarious.


I was a girl picking flowers

Recollection of innocence and simplicity symbolized by picking flowers.

I need a nap and a tall glass of water

Expressing a need for rest and rejuvenation.

Surfaced now from the underground

Suggests emergence from a hidden or unseen state into the open.

Time goes quick we'd better make it count

Emphasizing the value of time and the urgency to use it wisely.


The morning mist

Describing a serene natural scene in the morning.

And the stars the sunshine found and kissed

Depicting the beauty of stars touched by sunlight.

Can't resist. The hungry swallow day insists

Emphasizes the inevitability of time passing and the hunger for life to continue.

On shadow. And so we learn to fear the darkness

Reflects on the fear of the unknown or darkness but also a willingness to accept it.

But I don't mind, I don't mind

Expressing acceptance or indifference towards the fear of darkness or uncertainties.


I was a girl picking flowers

Reiteration of the innocence and simplicity represented by picking flowers.

I need a nap and a tall glass of water

Reiterating the need for rest and sustenance.

Surfaced now from the underground

Reemergence into visibility or openness from a hidden state.

Time goes quick we'd better make it count

Stressing the importance of utilizing time effectively.


Who are you to say

Challenging someone's authority to dictate personal choices or decisions.

Where I choose to stay

Asserting autonomy and freedom to make personal decisions.

While the earth sleeps

Referencing a time of rest or dormancy in nature.

I meet my lover beneath the sheets

Hinting at intimacy or a private relationship during a period of rest.


I was a girl picking flowers

Recalling innocence and simplicity symbolized by picking flowers.

I need a nap and a tall glass of water

Reiterating the need for rest and rejuvenation.

Surfaced now from the underground

Reemergence into visibility or openness from a hidden state.

Time goes quick we'd better make it count

Emphasizing the importance of using time wisely.


I was a girl picking flowers

Repetition of innocence and simplicity symbolized by picking flowers.

I need a nap and a tall glass of water

Reiteration of the need for rest and sustenance.

Surfaced now from the underground

Reemergence into visibility or openness from a hidden state.
