Lock Meowt
Carousel Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember when I used to know you?
I was too busy being into myself
Took a long time for me to see truth
That I became somebody else
Now it hurts and your absence makes it worse
Still trying to forget you
It's the worst how your actions are perverse
They're always blurring out the truth

This is the way that you always want it
Keeping my ghost trapped inside your closet
You lock me out
You lock me out
When the rain is pouring down
You always try and lock me out

Remember when you used to know me?
You were too busy putting me on the shelf
Took a long time for you to change views
To see me as somebody else

And it hurts, how your actions are perverse
Still trying to forget you
I've learned I've got to find a new home turf-
The only way I'll accept you

'Cause this is the way that you always want it
Keeping my ghost trapped inside your closet
You lock me out
You lock me out
When the rain is pouring down
You always try and lock me out

I'm searching for permanence
Displace and erase all that I have left

This is the way that you always want it
Keeping my ghost trapped inside your closet
You lock me out
You lock me out
When the rain is pouring down
You always try and lock me out

This is the way that you always want it
Keeping my ghost trapped inside your closet
You lock me out
You lock me out




When the rain is pouring down
You always try and lock me out
