Lyrics
I am the key to the lock in your house
I symbolize the key to the emotional barriers within your mind.
That keeps your toys in the basement
Your inner thoughts and emotions are kept hidden, like toys stored in a basement.
And if you get too far inside
Warning that delving too deep into these emotions may reveal aspects of myself.
You'll only see my reflection
If you explore too much, you'll only see a reflection of yourself.
It's always best when the light is off
Things are clearer and more genuine when kept in darkness.
I am the pick in the ice
I am the unsettling feeling, represented as a pick in the ice.
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
Caution against expressing distress; we share a dark connection.
You know we're friends till we die
Our friendship is profound and enduring, even in the face of death.
And either way you turn
Regardless of the direction you take in life, I'll be present.
I'll be there
I assure my constant presence, even within your thoughts.
Open up your skull
A suggestion to open up emotionally and mentally.
I'll be there
Reiteration of my availability during moments of vulnerability.
Climbing up the walls
The eerie sensation of creeping into one's thoughts and consciousness.
It's always best when the light is off
Reiteration of the preference for darkness and secrecy.
It's always better on the outside
Suggesting that external experiences are more favorable.
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
A metaphorical description of causing mental distress and confusion.
Fifteen blows to your mind
Intentionally inflicting turmoil on the psyche.
So lock the kids up safe tonight
Advising to protect innocence and shield from unsettling truths.
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
Encouragement to avoid confronting harsh realities.
I've got the smell of a local man
I possess the scent of someone burdened with intense loneliness.
Who's got the loneliest feeling
Describing the profound isolation felt by an individual.
That either way he turns
Regardless of choices, my influence will persist.
I'll be there
Assurance of being present in moments of internal exploration.
Open up your skull
Repeat of the invitation to open up emotionally and mentally.
I'll be there
Reiteration of my availability during vulnerable states of mind.
Climbing up the walls
The unsettling sensation of infiltrating one's thoughts intensifies.
Climbing up the walls
Emphasis on the escalating invasion of one's mental space.
Climbing up the walls
Highlighting the relentless and disturbing intrusion into the psyche.
