Lyrics
I seen a dead dead pony running through my dream
I witnessed a deceased pony running in my dream
I seen the water water catching up with it
I observed water rapidly approaching the dead pony
I got this cold cold feeling like I won't forget
I experienced a chilling sensation, anticipating it will linger in my memory
And I need to make it stop
I feel a need to halt or end something disturbing
I need to make it stop
This feeling persists; I must find a way to stop it
And you
Addressing someone
You're sitting on the bathroom floor
The person is sitting on the bathroom floor
Drawing pictures
Engaged in drawing, possibly to conceal emotions
Making sure it doesn't even show
Taking precautions to ensure emotions aren't visible
But your mother's calling on the phone again
The person's mother is calling on the phone
What you going to say now that it got so late ?
Addressing the lateness of the hour and questioning the response
One day you will wake up
Future realization upon waking up
And everything that you thought you would be
Your envisioned future self will confront you
Will be standing there staring right back at you
The future self will be a stark reflection
And I guess I should have said so
A recognition that something should have been expressed
But I swear I didn't even know how to feel about it
The speaker didn't know how to feel about a situation
When it walked right out on you
The situation left or abandoned the person
And there's a nervous calling running through the walls
A feeling of anxiety permeates the surroundings
And it's getting louder now
The anxiety intensifies and demands attention
It's begging you to please
A plea to respond to the anxious calling
You know that slow thing humming at the other side of skin
A mysterious, slow presence beneath the surface of the skin
It's what you listen to
Listening to this internal presence when feeling depleted
When you run out of you
When one loses oneself, this internal presence becomes prominent
So I hope
An expression of hope
I hope you really get it now
Encouragement to comprehend a certain reality
'cause there's a reason why you keep on running out of time
A reason for consistently running out of time
And I just seen it crawling under your skin
An observation of something crawling beneath someone's skin
And it's making everything feel like it just shouldn't feel
This presence distorts the perception of everything
One day you will wake up
Repetition of the future awakening realization
And everything that you thought you would be
The envisioned future self confronts the individual
Will be standing there staring right back at you
A reflection of what was anticipated
And I guess I should have said so
The speaker acknowledges a failure to express something
But I swear I didn't even know how to feel about it when
Reiteration of not knowing how to feel about a past event
It walked right out on you
A situation or person walked away from the individual
So hush hush
A request for silence
Be quiet now
Encouragement to keep quiet and restrained
Keep yourself under lock and key
A suggestion to protect oneself emotionally
You know the one thing that keeps running out ?
Possibly referring to time running out
You should not be chasing it
Advising against pursuing something that depletes
'cause it will just leave you falling on your knees
Predicting the consequences of chasing after the depleting thing
Falling on your knees
The consequences include falling on one's knees
