Lyrics
There is something
Expressing the presence of something
In the hills
Referring to a location in the hills
Well I hear it lingers
Indicating a lingering quality, possibly ominous
And I've seen it kill
Suggesting that the mentioned thing can be harmful
There is water
Referring to the existence of water in a well
In the well
Observing the flow of water in the well
I see it flowing on
Emphasizing the continuous flow of water, possibly metaphorical
It's flowing on, it's flowing on
-For you
Reiterating the flow is for someone specific
For you
-I tried to call you late last night
Attempting to contact someone who is frightened
I heard you shiver I gave you a fright
-Hey
Addressing someone with a sense of urgency
Caught in my ways
Acknowledging being stuck in one's own habits
This is the last time Acid Dad
Mentioning "Acid Dad" as if concluding a phase
Look and I see it
Noticing a new adversary, possibly symbolic
The new enemy
-I make heat
Creating and taking heat, possibly metaphorical
I take it, I take it
-This
Describing a rigid figure in the wind, questioning perceptions
Stiff in the wind
-They're just a preacher
-Ugh, they're just a savior
-Look and you'll see it
-'Cause I never could
-This is the last time Acid Dad
Reiterating the finality of the mentioned phase
I said I'd get it on
Committing to getting something done for someone
I said I'd get it on
-I said I'd get it on
-I'd get it on, I'd get it on
-For you
Clarifying the commitment is not for everyone
Not you
-You took my life before
Reflecting on past experiences with someone
You'll take my life again
-I'm not your lover dear
-You're just my sp-sp-sp-special friend
-Please ditch your telephone
Advising to disconnect from technology, emphasizing seclusion
Closed curtains no one's home
-Detach your internet
-The hills see none of that
-And which way is heaven sir?
Pondering the direction of heaven and expressing confusion and burnout
We all got lost somehow
-I tried to find myself but I lost the map and now I'm all burnt out
-Crux upon crux
Repetition of "Crux upon crux" and "Lux upon lux," possibly symbolic
Lux upon lux
-Crux upon crux
-Lux upon lux
-Crux upon crux (this, this is the last time)
-Lux upon lux
-Crux upon crux (this, this is the last time)
-Lux upon lux
-Hey
Recapitulating themes of being caught in habits, facing a new enemy, and inability to see
Caught in my ways
-This is the last time Acid Dad
-Look and I see it
-The new enemy
-I make heat
-I take it, I take it
-This
-Stiff in the wind
-They're just a preacher
-Uh, they're just a savior
-Look and you'll see it
-'Cause I never could
-This is the last time Acid Dad
Reaffirming the finality of the mentioned phase with "Acid Dad"
