Come In Please
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros Lyrics

Once upon a time I was the hurricane boy
I used to be a destructive force, causing chaos and disruption wherever I went.

There was no eye in me for you to hide
I was so consumed by my own turmoil that I couldn't see or understand the pain of others.

Head low don't show oceans in my eyes
I tried to hide the sadness and despair that I was feeling from others, even though it was overwhelming me.

As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow
The waves crashing against the shore acted as a symbolic farewell to my grief and pain.

Daddy's on the mountain yellin' at the bloody sky
My father is consumed with anger and frustration, directing his rage towards an unknown entity.

Mama's in the mirror actin' out another life
My mother is trying to escape reality by creating a new persona, pretending to be someone else entirely.

Children in the schoolyard singin' "everybody dies"
The children have a bleak and pessimistic outlook on life, embracing the inevitability of death.

And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am standing alone, gazing wistfully at the world around me, lost in thought and emotion.

I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
I am using my music to escape reality, singing idealistic and unrealistic songs that hold no true meaning.

Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
I am running away from my problems, taking a train that is unpredictable and difficult to trace.

That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
I hope that by leaving my current situation, I can prevent future hardship and difficulty from clouding my life.

But shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder
Despite my attempts to escape, I cannot rid myself of the baggage and troubles that haunt me.

All hail to death's boy-wonder
I am relinquishing control of my future and submitting myself to the unpredictable nature of life and death.

JJ's in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
My friend JJ is contemplating the darker aspects of life, considering the possibility that the world is coming to an end.

Mo's thowin' Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye
My friend Mo is trying to find solace in literature, throwing herself into the words of Jack Kerouac and J.D. Salinger.

Tempermental yogis bakin' merry weather pie
Even those who seem calm and collected on the outside are feeling the pressure and turmoil of life, trying to bake happiness into their existence.

And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am still lost in thought, staring off into the distance and trying to make sense of the world around me.

I am on the corner singin' sentimental lies
Despite my efforts to escape reality, I am still singing songs that hold little truth or meaning.

Sometimes said it's sun time
Sometimes I try to convince myself that things will get better, that the sun will come out and shine down on my life once more.

Let it sunshine on my mind
I am hoping that by letting positivity and light into my mind, I can overcome the darkness and find peace.

All the same its conscience waiting
Regardless of my efforts to escape, my conscience and self-awareness are always present, waiting for me to confront them.

Cross the line
I need to take action and make choices, even if it means crossing a metaphorical line and confronting my fears and difficulties.

Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
My dreams are taking me to a happier and more idyllic place, away from the struggles of reality.

The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
The transient nature of the clouds reflects my own changing emotions and thoughts.

And everyone I've known held my hands till they were clay
My loved ones are supporting me through my struggles, but I feel as though I am draining them of their energy and vitality.

And the storm finally bled from my complexion
The turmoil and pain that once consumed me is finally leaving my body and soul, allowing me to find peace and tranquility.

Now Jadey's on the mountain singing "We will never die"
My friend Jadey is expressing her optimism and hope, believing that we can overcome even the greatest challenges.

The band is in the rainbow playin' love for you and I
The music is a symbol of the love and joy that can be found in life, and how it can bring people together.

Heath is riding shotgun aimin' at the paper sky
My friend Heath is looking up at the sky, searching for something beyond himself, something that can give him purpose and direction.

And I am only "I am" now I've opened up my eye
Through my struggles and pain, I have finally come to realize that I am a unique and valuable individual, no matter what others may say or think of me.

I am only "I am" that I've opened up my eye
By opening up my mind and heart, I have discovered my true identity and purpose in life.

Healing I need healing
I acknowledge that I still have wounds and scars that need healing.

A good feeling I can shine
I am hoping that by healing my emotional wounds, I can find a sense of positivity and radiance.

Feel it like you can see it
I am urging myself to embrace the positivity and good in life, and to believe that it is possible to find it.

Like you can dream it in your mind
I am visualizing a future where I am healed and happy, using my imagination and hope to inspire myself and others.

Sunny Hallelujah comin' to ya
I am expressing my hope and joy, wishing it upon others in the form of a sunny, joyous hallelujah.

Rain or shine
Regardless of the circumstances or challenges, I believe that there is always hope and positivity to be found, even on a rainy or cloudy day.
