Lyrics
You left me on an island in the middle of the ocean
You abandoned me in a challenging and isolated situation.
A storm coming, looming up above.
A metaphorical storm is approaching, representing troubles.
And I watched as the cold dark waves played around me
Observing the difficulties and challenges as our love developed.
As we slowly, fell in love.
Love grew despite the hardships.
I heard the big bad wolf howling in the distance
Hearing ominous sounds symbolized by the big bad wolf.
The moon cried because she was alone.
The moon symbolizes loneliness, reflecting the emotional state.
And I sat there on my island thinking for hours
Contemplating the reasons for the demise of the relationship.
About how our love died all on its own.
Reflecting on how the love faded without external influence.
Ohoh ohoh how lovely
Expressing admiration for the brokenness in the partner's eyes.
Your broken eyes look in the night
Feeling breathless due to internal struggles with emotional monsters.
Ohoh ohoh I can't breathe
Expressing the internal suffocation caused by emotional challenges.
For the monsters are choking me from inside
Monsters inside represent emotional struggles and challenges.
And I am still a child
Despite experiences, the speaker still feels emotionally immature.
Though you painted me to look so old
Contrast between appearance and emotional maturity.
I am still running wild
Embracing a free and unrestrained spirit.
Setting fires to chase away the cold
Using destructive actions to cope with emotional coldness.
The clock in the wall say he would steal my beauty
Time is perceived as a thief stealing youth and beauty.
That time was ticking and I ran too slow.
The challenge of keeping up with time, fearing consequences.
But if you run too fast you'll be traveling in circles
Running too fast leads to confusion and lack of direction.
With nowhere to hide and no place to go
A sense of vulnerability with no escape.
Ohoh ohoh I prayed to the wind
Seeking escape through prayers to the wind.
To come down and carry me away
Desire to be carried away from the challenges.
But I have found I still have both feet on the ground
Realizing the grounded reality despite seeking escape.
With my arms stretched out to the sky like a statue of clay
Symbolic gesture of reaching out to the sky but remaining grounded.
And I am still a child
Reiteration of the speaker's emotional immaturity.
Though you painted me to look so old
Highlighting the contrast between appearance and internal state.
I am still running wild
Embracing a free and unrestrained spirit despite challenges.
Setting fires to chase away the cold
Using destructive actions to cope with emotional coldness.
Who am I? Who am I?
Questions about identity and existence within a fantasy.
Just a little girl lost in a fairy tale
Describing a feeling of being lost in a fairy tale.
What is this? What is this?
Questioning the purpose and significance of existence.
Just a body to leave behind
Reducing oneself to a mere physical entity.
Where are we? Where are we?
Expressing confusion about the current situation.
Did I find the place they call wonderland?
Seeking a mythical place or state of wonderland.
Ohoh or is this all in my mind?
Questioning the reality of the perceived situation.
Am I out of my mind?
Uncertainty about one's mental state.
And I am still a child
Reiteration of emotional immaturity despite challenges.
Though you painted me to look so old
Highlighting the contrast between appearance and internal state.
I am still running wild
Embracing a free and unrestrained spirit despite challenges.
Setting fires to try and save my soul
Using destructive actions to cope with the struggle for salvation.
I'm setting fires to save my soul
Symbolic act of setting fires to save oneself from inner turmoil.
