Lyrics
See the twilight surface on my windowpane

Leaves me in the dust to pull me out again

Like a clock strikes twelve it's time to descend, to descend
Comparing a situation to a clock striking twelve, signifying a crucial moment to descend or confront a challenge.
Close my eyes and dip into the rabbit hole

Petals blow in the wind when I let it go

Leave me here to lay in the fallen snow, fallen snow
Being abandoned in a desolate place, possibly emotionally or mentally.
Merrily go round this carousel

Spin me around this pretty cell

A little world I'll keep for myself, for myself

Laughter in my memory is the only sound

Fine with being lost, not ready to be found, to be found
Being comfortable with being lost and not yet ready to be found or understood.
'Cause these little games I play in my mind are my only friends when I start to unwind

Secret place I go that's only mine

A little light to pull you through
