Lyrics
Open up to the sound
Encouragement to be receptive to the surrounding sounds.
There's nothing around you to keep you down
Suggesting that there are no obstacles preventing one from rising.
There's nothing beneath you if you want to crawl
Emphasizing the freedom to explore, using the metaphor of crawling.
Shoulder to shoulder
Describing a close connection or unity with others.
No dream for a doubter
Discouraging skepticism or lack of belief in dreams.
A swimmer to drowner
Contrasting a positive and negative state using swimming and drowning metaphors.
I couldn't arrange it better
Expressing contentment with the current situation.
Dropping the rain right where it falls
Symbolizing acceptance of natural occurrences, letting things be.
And then watching from inside
Observing events from an internal perspective.
So as you climb
Comparing personal progress with someone else's, acknowledging the difference.
I'll be climbing a little slower
Acknowledging a slower pace of personal advancement.
From a street I just discovered
Exploring new areas or perspectives.
And you've already left behind
Feeling left behind by others in a journey or experience.
Overhead, beneath the ground
Describing an all-encompassing environment, both above and below.
You can't hear the feet fall through your wall of sound
Highlighting the inability to perceive certain actions due to a strong sound barrier.
You can't hear the creeps crawl in your bed at night
Expressing vulnerability during moments of rest.
The window has been leaking and it's
Noting a problem (leaking window) leading to an undesirable situation.
Flooding the floor
Describing a consequential flood as a result of the mentioned problem.
This is only your lowest hour
Acknowledging a challenging or difficult phase.
Unfolding you slowly like a paper
Metaphorically depicting a gradual unfolding or crushing of emotions or experiences.
Or crushing you tight into a ball
Expressing the challenging nature of crawling, perhaps emotionally.
But when you crawl
Expressing a desire for strength during challenging times.
I'll be wishing that you were stronger
Wishing for resilience and fortitude during personal struggles.
In a place I won't remember
Referring to a distant, forgettable place or memory.
I've already left behind
Reflecting on past experiences or places that have been left behind.
