Lyrics

Even with the lights out, I'm still feeling nervous

Despite the lights being off, the speaker still feels uneasy or anxious.

Keep it to myself, an island in a furnace

The speaker keeps their feelings to themselves, comparing their emotional state to an isolated place engulfed in heat.

I don't wanna say it, I just wanna lay here

Expressing a desire to avoid verbalizing emotions and preferring to remain in a passive state.

Always on my mind, I'd rather we just know it

The constant presence of someone on the speaker's mind, wishing for mutual understanding without explicit communication.

Needles when I'm talking, nothing feels the same here

Communication feels uncomfortable, as if speaking involves a painful sensation, and the environment is unfamiliar.

Pull myself together while I'm getting older

Trying to compose oneself while facing the inevitable process of aging.

I don't wanna say it, I don't wanna answer

Reiterating the reluctance to express certain thoughts or emotions, avoiding providing answers.

Keep it to myself, tonight I can't say nothing

Choosing to keep thoughts to oneself during the night, possibly due to an inability to articulate feelings.


Turn off the sun tonight

Symbolically turning off the sun, seeking a different perspective or outlook on a situation.

The stars look so much better

Finding solace and beauty in the darkness of the night sky.

"Look in your eyes," they say

Referencing a shared gaze, suggesting a deep connection between individuals.

Our thoughts all blend together

Highlighting the merging of thoughts and emotions between people.

Quiet and underground

Describing a calm and concealed state, possibly reflecting a hidden or private relationship.

The feeling was just being

The essence of the experience was simply existing, without the need for words.

Nothing but time for us

Having ample time with no constraints for the individuals involved.

Our thoughts all lose their meaning

Suggesting that over time, the significance of thoughts may fade or lose their impact.

Inside, a light for us

Internally, there is a guiding light for the individuals involved, possibly symbolizing hope or understanding.

The days are getting shorter

Noticing a decrease in the duration of days, hinting at the passing of time.

And how I want to stay

Expressing a desire to prolong a certain state or experience.

Just send my letters over

Sending messages without direct communication, possibly through indirect means.

Keeping the sunlight out

Creating a barrier to keep out the harshness of reality, represented by sunlight.

Hearts gently beat together

Hearts beating together signifies emotional synchronicity or unity.

Nothing was left to say

Reaching a point where words are no longer necessary, implying a deep understanding.

The silence is much better

Silence is preferred over verbal communication, suggesting comfort in non-verbal connection.


Needles when I'm talking, nothing feels the same here

Reiteration of the discomfort in communication, emphasizing the unfamiliarity of the environment.

Pull myself together while I'm getting older

Continuing the process of self-composure amidst the inevitability of aging.

I don't wanna say it, I don't wanna answer

Maintaining a resistance to expressing certain emotions or providing direct answers.

Keep it to myself, tonight I can't say nothing

Choosing to remain silent during the night, possibly due to a struggle with verbal expression.

Even with the lights out, I'm still feeling nervous

Repeating the persistent unease despite the absence of light.

Keep it to myself, an island in a furnace

Reiterating the concept of internalizing feelings, likening it to being isolated in a heated space.

I don't wanna say it, I just wanna lay here

Echoing the desire to avoid verbalizing emotions, opting for a passive state instead.

Always on my mind, I'd rather we just know it

The constant presence of someone on the speaker's mind, desiring mutual understanding without explicit communication.


But I, I don't wanna know

Expressing a reluctance to know or confront certain truths or realities.

But I, I don't wanna know

Repeating the unwillingness to know, suggesting a desire to remain in ignorance.

But I, I don't wanna know

Continuing the theme of avoidance and resistance to confronting certain truths.

But I, I don't wanna know

Reiterating the speaker's resistance to knowing or acknowledging certain aspects of reality.

But I, I don't wanna know

Emphasizing once again the speaker's reluctance to confront or be aware of certain truths.
