Lyrics
Lily, tell your mother I've been thinking
The speaker wants Lily to convey a message to her mother, indicating contemplation or reflection.
Winter changes nothing
The arrival of winter doesn't bring about any significant changes.
The frost east can bring the highways down
The cold weather from the east could cause disruptions on the highways.
I went to a movie I want to believe in
The speaker watched a movie that they wish to believe in or find believable.
The actors were all looking at me
The actors in the movie appeared to be looking at the speaker.
Stupidly, I sat struck dumb
The speaker felt dumbfounded or speechless while watching the movie.
Will this feel alright with the lights on?
Questioning if things would feel okay or acceptable under scrutiny or observation.
Would it all be right with the lights on?
Questioning if everything would be acceptable or fine when exposed to scrutiny.
Lily, there's a picture of your mother
The speaker refers to a picture of Lily's mother, feeling disturbed or disgusted upon seeing it.
I'm sickened when I see it
The speaker experiences a feeling of sickness upon seeing the picture.
It must be something to be her kind
Speculation about what it might be like to belong to Lily's mother's category or kind.
I saw a movie I think, I believe in
The speaker watched another movie they think they can believe in or find credible.
The actors all fell back and they were laughing
The actors in this movie fell back and laughed, prompting the speaker to start thinking.
The frame stopped and I started thinking
A pause in the movie prompted the speaker's contemplation or reflection.
Will this feel alright with the lights on?
Questioning if things would feel okay or acceptable under scrutiny or observation (repeated).
Would it all be right with the lights on?
Questioning if everything would be acceptable or fine when exposed to scrutiny (repeated).
There is no sign to be discreet
There's no indication or signal to be discreet or subtle.
To clutter up the clearings
To avoid cluttering up the open spaces or clarity.
This is casting out and waiting
Seems like a phase of letting go and anticipating something.
Hanging lines to stay up late with
Creating connections or associations to stay awake or engaged during the late hours.
The cold that holds the corner
The cold in a specific corner is exceptionally dull or uninteresting.
Cannot be more boring
Realization or surprise at the sudden presence of numerous lights.
Startled now that there's all these lights on
Expressing the advantage of being shortsighted in certain situations.
God, it pays to be shortsighted
It's advantageous to not see things clearly or to have limited vision in some cases.
Lily, tell your mother, I've been thinking
Repeatedly urging Lily to communicate a message to her mother, emphasizing ongoing contemplation or reflection.
Lily, tell your mother, I've been thinking
-Lily, tell your mother, I've been thinking
-Lily, tell your mother, I've been thinking
