Lyrics
He snuck into the crevices
He entered the small spaces or gaps.
Where all the demons stayed hidden
Where the inner struggles or negative aspects were concealed.
Sat with them
He spent time with those aspects.
Like an old friend
As if familiar or comfortable, like an acquaintance.
He set up shop and fixed it up
He established a place and improved it.
And made it into his home
Transformed it into his own space.
And somehow while he lived there
Despite his presence, a sense of isolation persisted.
I still felt alone
Feeling detached or solitary despite cohabitation.
I left a trail
Left clues or hints behind, anticipating reunion.
Hoping it would lead you back to me
In hope that they would guide someone back to the speaker.
How silly
Reflecting on the naivety or foolishness of the action.
I'm a child of the water
Identifying as deeply connected to water.
If you wanted to find me
Describing how to locate the speaker through this affinity.
I'm a child of the water
Reiteration of being strongly linked to water.
If you wanted to find me
Reiterating the identification with water for finding the speaker.
Man of many names
A person with various identities.
Telling me his stories
Sharing his experiences or narratives.
Carrying his burdens
Bearing the weight of his struggles.
Passing down his pain
Transferring his suffering or distress to others.
He led me into shallow waters
Guiding the speaker into less profound difficulties.
Drowned in them deep
Immersed or overwhelmed by these difficulties.
Kweku, Yogi, Ghana boy
Names or identities he possesses, possibly cultural references.
Who knows
An inquiry about which identity is substantial.
Tell me which of these fantoms should I try to hold
Choosing which identity to embrace or relinquish.
And which of these fantoms am I letting go
Determining which identities to hold onto or release.
Man of many names
Emphasizing the diverse identities of the individual.
Telling me his stories
Reiterating the sharing of experiences or narratives.
Carrying his burdens
Bearing the weight of his hardships.
Passing down his pain
Transferring his agony or suffering to others.
Man of many names
Repeating the idea of multiple identities.
Telling me his stories
Continuing to share his experiences or stories.
Burying his burdens
Laying to rest or concealing his hardships.
Passing down his pain
Handing down his pain or agony to others.
Omnipresent floating circles all around
A presence felt everywhere in circular forms.
Omnipresent floating circles
Continuation of a ubiquitous circular presence.
Omnipresent floating circles all around your heart
Circular omnipresent presence surrounding emotions or core.
Omnipresent floating circles
Reiteration of the circular, ever-present nature.
Omnipresent floating circles all around
Continued emphasis on the omnipresent circles.
Omnipresent floating circles
Reiterating the omnipresence of these circles.
Omnipresent floating circles all around your heart
Circles omnipresent around emotions or core feelings.
Omnipresent floating circles
Repetition of the omnipresent circular elements.
