Lyrics
Forecast calls for a storm tonight
Anticipation of an impending storm
One we aren't prepared for
Unprepared for the approaching storm
You're gripping me so tight
Intense grip or emotional hold
As we hear someone come up the elevator
Awareness of someone approaching via elevator
There's people conspiring
People plotting or scheming
Down at the party
Conspiracies happening at the party
Can you drag his body
Suggestive of a dark act – moving a body
To the pantry with me
Invitation to hide or escape to the pantry
I feel like Wendy from "The Shining"
Comparison to Wendy from "The Shining"
Can't go outside I'm stuck in hiding
Feeling trapped or confined, unable to go outside
Running through the mazes that are my own thoughts
Symbolic maze of personal thoughts
I didn't know that we could get this lost
Realization of being profoundly lost
Diseased with this cabin fever
Metaphorical affliction – cabin fever
Anything to keep occupied
Distraction as a coping mechanism
Why does he believe her
Doubting someone's credibility
It's their word against mine
Conflict between perspectives
My vision saturated with confetti
Perception clouded by distractions
Keep the drinks coming
Encouragement to continue with indulgence
Don't worry what's in 217
Dismissal of concerns about room 217
It's time for the unmasking
Time for revealing the truth
I feel like Jack from "The Shining"
Comparing to Jack from "The Shining"
Can't go outside I'm stuck in writing
Similar theme of feeling trapped
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
Reference to the famous line, emphasizing work over leisure
I'm stuck inside trying to fill the void
Being stuck inside, searching for purpose
I feel like Wendy from "The Shining"
Reiteration of Wendy's feeling of confinement
Can't go outside I'm stuck in hiding
Continued sense of hiding and isolation
Running through the mazes that are my own thoughts
Navigating through complex thoughts
I didn't know that we could get this lost, yeah
Surprise at the depth of being lost
I didn't know that we could get this lost, yeah
Reaffirmation of the unexpected sense of being lost
Pour me another drink Lloyd
Request for another drink, possibly to cope
They want me to join some kind of death cult
Mention of a tempting invitation to join a cult
They want our little Danny Boy too
Fear for the safety of "Danny Boy"
Redrum redrum
Repetition of "Redrum" - a reference to "The Shining"
Quit being dumb
Encouragement to avoid naivety
Redrum Redrum
Repetition of "Redrum" - a plea or warning
Will you succumb
Questioning if succumbing to danger is inevitable
I feel like Wendy from "The Shining"
Reiteration of Wendy's sense of being trapped
Can't go outside I'm stuck in hiding
Continued inability to go outside
Running through the mazes that are my own thoughts
Persisting through the maze of thoughts
I didn't know that we could get this lost
Reflection on the unexpected depth of being lost
I feel like Jack from "The Shining"
Parallel to Jack's confinement but focused on writing
Can't go outside I'm stuck in writing
Reiteration of being stuck inside, emphasizing work
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
Recall of the proverb about work and play
I'm stuck inside trying to fill the void
Continued struggle to fill an emotional void
Stuck inside
Simple declaration of being stuck inside
Stuck inside
Repetition, reinforcing the feeling of being stuck
Stuck inside
Final repetition, emphasizing the theme of entrapment
