Lyrics
Put your shoes on
Preparation to face a challenging situation or fear.
We've got a long walk home
Anticipation of a lengthy journey back home.
Grab your pitchfork and a torch
Preparation for a potential confrontation or danger.
It's a long dark road
Reference to a difficult and ominous path ahead.
If you stay close to me
Encouragement to stick together for safety.
We'll make it through the night
Assurance that unity will help overcome challenges during the night.
You know the monsters come out
Awareness of the emergence of fears or troubles when darkness falls.
When they see the streetlights
Noting the presence of monsters triggered by streetlights.
And there's something in the dark
Acknowledgment of an unknown and unsettling presence in darkness.
That we've all heard of
Recognition of a common fear or phenomenon.
Do they come from below
Contemplation of the origin of the perceived threats.
Or come from above
Questioning whether the source of fear is from below or above.
And there's something in the dark
Reiteration of an unsettling presence in the darkness.
That gets into my head
Acknowledgment of intrusive thoughts causing anxiety.
I think they're hiding in the
Suspicions that the source of fear may be hidden in specific places.
Closet and under the bed
Specifically, fearing entities in the closet and under the bed.
There's a cool breeze
Introduction of a cool breeze, possibly signifying discomfort or unease.
Blowing across my face
Sensation of something unsettling touching the face.
I've gotta get up, get out
Desire to escape from a place perceived as cursed or forsaken.
Get away from this forsaken place
Expression of urgency to leave the unsettling location.
And when they talk to me
Difficulty in responding to mysterious entities or fears.
I don't know what to say
Confusion and discomfort when confronted with the unknown.
I hold my hears and close my eyes
Attempt to shut out disturbing entities by covering ears and closing eyes.
But they won't go away
Struggle as the disturbing thoughts persist despite efforts to block them.
And there's something in the dark
Reiteration of the pervasive presence of the unknown in the dark.
That we've all heard of
Repeating the question of the origin of perceived threats.
Do they come from below
Reiteration of the uncertainty regarding threats from below or above.
Or come from above
Continued exploration of the source of fears and anxieties.
And there's something in the dark
Reiteration of an unsettling presence affecting thoughts.
That gets into my head
Recognition of intrusive thoughts causing distress.
I think they're hiding in the
Repeating the suspicion of hidden entities in specific places.
Closet and under the bed
Specifically, fearing entities in the closet and under the bed.
And there's something in the dark
Reiteration of an unsettling presence in the darkness.
That we've all heard of
Continued exploration of the origin of perceived threats.
Do they come from below
Reiteration of the uncertainty regarding threats from below or above.
Or come from above
Continued questioning of the source of fears and anxieties.
And there's something in the dark
Reiteration of an unsettling presence affecting thoughts.
That gets into my head
Recognition of intrusive thoughts causing distress.
I think they're hiding in the
Repeating the suspicion of hidden entities in specific places.
Closet and under the bed
Specifically, fearing entities in the closet and under the bed.
