Lyrics
The truth and lies I've told myself rear their pretty heads
The speaker confronts the truth and lies they have told themselves, acknowledging their presence.
As these wicked hooves from deeds long dead
The negative consequences of past actions, symbolized by "wicked hooves," affect the speaker.
Trample the life from me instead
The impact of past deeds is causing harm and draining the life from the speaker.
Turned in my needs, a gentle seed deep inside of me
The speaker has abandoned their own needs, nurturing a delicate inner aspect.
Just slap the steeds and get those beasts
An encouragement to take control and overcome challenges represented by "slap the steeds" and face inner struggles.
There's barely anybody here anymore
Repetition emphasizes the loneliness or emptiness, suggesting a lack of people in the speaker's life.
There's barely anybody here anymore
-There's barely anybody here anymore
-There's barely anybody here anymore
-Those frozen waters crack those fossils seared in fear
Frozen waters and fossils metaphorically represent past experiences, and the cracking indicates a breaking point due to fear.
Is there somebody to hear the things
The speaker questions if there is anyone to hear their thoughts and wishes, possibly on the verge of change.
I'll say on the crest of the winds
-I wish I could fall
An expression of a desire to escape or let go of something.
Out
-Oh I'd love to meet somebody in me
The speaker expresses a longing to discover and embrace a positive aspect of themselves.
Someone I'd love to be
-Oh I'd love to meet somebody in me
-Someone I'd love to be
-Hmm, I love this dusty whisper telling me
The speaker appreciates a mysterious, inspiring voice guiding them towards aspirations, despite truths being disguised.
All the things wanted to be
-The truth's in disguise and I can only dig so deep
-Before coming up for air
Recognizing limitations in understanding the truth, the speaker needs moments of respite ("coming up for air").
Oh I'd love to meet somebody in me (coming up for air)
Reiteration of the desire to find a positive self, with a reference to seeking relief or clarity ("coming up for air").
Someone I'd love to be
-Oh I'd love to meet somebody in me (coming up for air)
-In me
-Oh I'd love to meet somebody in me
Continued expression of the desire to discover and connect with a positive aspect of oneself.
Oh I'd love to meet somebody in me
