Symbols and Maps
Circulatory System Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Such a long way, a long way
Let's take off in the sky
Painting symbols and maps
Keeps us occupied
The sound in the forest
You heard the whisper
I know you've come a long way
Let's take off in the sky
And reveal all the worlds that we've locked inside
The sound in the forest




You heard the whisper
I know you've come a long way.
