Lyrics
I'd like to live inside a dream where I can fall asleep
I desire to exist in a dream where I can peacefully fall asleep.
Without the use of stupid things that make it hard to breathe
Without relying on troublesome things that hinder my ability to breathe.
At night I choke
During the night, I experience a feeling of suffocation.
That breathless smoke
A sensation of breathless smoke envelops me.
It lets me lose those thoughts I sink in
This smoke allows me to let go of troubling thoughts that weigh me down.
Oh I'm sinking
Expressing a sense of sinking and losing oneself.
Feathered wicks pierce the skin from the back of my spine
Feathered wicks pierce my skin, forming wax wings on my back.
Forming wax 'round the wings that tell me how to fly
These wings guide me on how to fly, but the journey is challenging.
But it's tough
Despite the challenges, there is an attempt to ascend.
Floating up
Struggling to rise, possibly metaphorical for overcoming difficulties.
When you burn on the comedown
Difficulties intensify during the descent or return to reality.
And I fold my wings into sheets and lay covered
Folding wings metaphorically, seeking solace and protection.
I can't hold no hands so my own hold me down
Unable to hold onto external support, relying on oneself which feels limiting.
I hold the wall but it's cold upon the palm of my hand
Grasping a cold wall, possibly symbolizing a struggle against an unfeeling environment.
I'm slipping down into a sound: the broken ceiling fan
Sinking into a sound, potentially representing a descent into chaos or instability.
Clutching my chest
Clutching the chest, indicating emotional or physical distress.
I get no rest
Struggling to find rest or peace.
My head it's screamin' for the aether
The mind is yearning or calling out for an intangible substance, possibly the ethereal or spiritual.
And I roll my wings into sheets and lay covered
Similar to line 14, seeking refuge and protection by folding wings.
I can't hold no hands so my own hold me down
Independence is constrained as one's own hands become a source of limitation.
