Staring at Walls
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling the Deep Reflections in Willow Hannon's 'Staring at Walls'
Lyrics
We're at the river edge
We are by the riverbank
Watching the shadows
Observing the shadows
You could slip right in
There's a possibility of slipping into the river
And drown in the shallows
And drowning in the shallow water
There's something kinda strange about this
There's an unsettling feeling about this situation
Sleeping in the arms of angels
Sleeping in the embrace of angels
Talking to the walls
Engaging in introspective conversations with oneself
And letting it all go
Releasing and letting go of everything
Cos we laugh, we talk
Expressing joy and casual conversation
Like it's nothing at all
Behaving as if nothing matters
While you're burning down your bridges
Destroying connections recklessly
With the back of your phone
Using the phone to sever relationships
And we're safe, I know
Feeling secure, despite impending challenges
But it's all gonna fall right down
Aware that security is fragile and may collapse
And hit the ground
Anticipating a downfall
So lose your self-control
Suggesting a need to abandon restraint
Stop staring at the walls
Advising to stop fixating on obstacles
Like they can save you from your borrowed time
Walls won't save from the inevitable passage of time
Braindead broken
Feeling mentally numb and shattered
Hopeful tunes and heavy hearts
Hopeful music and heavy emotions
And leaning on yourself for once
Relying on oneself for support
I'm talking to myself again
Engaging in internal dialogue
I'm talking to myself
Continuing self-reflection
We laugh, we talk
Sharing laughter and conversation
Like it's nothing at all
Acting as if everything is normal
While you're burning down your bridges
Destroying connections recklessly
With the back of your phone
Using the phone to sever relationships
And we're safe, I know
Feeling secure, despite impending challenges
But it's all gonna fall right down
Aware that security is fragile and may collapse
And hit the ground
Anticipating a downfall
Hit the ground
Emphasizing the imminent collapse
Lose your self-control, stop
Suggesting a need to abandon restraint
We're at the river edge
We are by the riverbank
And I'm talking to myself
Continuing self-reflection
And I'm talking to myself
-Cos we laugh, we talk
Sharing laughter and conversation
Like it's nothing at all
Acting as if everything is normal
While you're burning down your bridges
Destroying connections recklessly
With the back of your phone
Using the phone to sever relationships
And we're safe, I know
Feeling secure, despite impending challenges
But it's all gonna fall right down
Aware that security is fragile and may collapse
And hit the ground
Anticipating a downfall
We laugh, we talk
Sharing laughter and conversation
Like it's nothing at all
Acting as if everything is normal
While you're burning down your bridges
Destroying connections recklessly
With the back of your phone
Using the phone to sever relationships
And we're safe, I know
Feeling secure, despite impending challenges
But it's all gonna fall right down
Aware that security is fragile and may collapse
And hit the ground
Anticipating a downfall
