Lyrics

call me out of my hovel;

Expressing a desire to be called out of a place of seclusion or misery.

I long to see the sun.

Longing for the sight of the sun, possibly symbolizing hope or positivity.

my legs try to carry me

Physical effort to move, but emotional burden making it challenging.

but my heart weighs me down.

Emotional heaviness hindering movement or progress.

burn this in my eyes until I see your outline,

Desiring a vivid memory of the person, wanting their presence to be ingrained.

and carve this on my lips

Expressing a commitment or intensity in wanting to convey a message.

until you see my blood drip.

A metaphorical expression, willingness to endure pain for communication.


and just that I

Highlighting the ability to write as evidence of deeper understanding or insight.

can pen these words tonight

Emphasizing the act of writing as a means of expression or connection.

is proof enough for me

Suggesting that writing is a confirmation of a deeper, unseen reality.

that there is more than meets the eye,

Acknowledging the existence of more profound aspects beyond surface observations.

so this is my simple lullaby

Referring to the song as a simple lullaby, possibly soothing internal feelings.

to try and put to rest any loneliness inside.
