Walls
Crywolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Crywolf)
You invited me in and said "It's bound to happen"
The darkness, it shaded your eyes
And all I could think about
Is the life behind our lies
And the blankets, they covered your skin
Your lips, they just welcomed me in
I don't feel at home in this house
But my hands, they still run up your blouse
And our lies now unfold in the dark
And our eyes are now bright to the sun
We're doing this all wrong

They can't know what goes on behind these walls
You never really had my heart
You never really had my heart
We broke all the locks and ran out of our stalls
We should have stopped from the start
We should have stopped from the start

You left my heart on the floor
You dug my grave in the bed
Your lips against my ear
Said "I'll never leave your head"
Like a spider now
Spinning webs in my brain
You sink your venom in
Love, it rushes through my veins

Chorus

Are you breaking all the glass around your eyes?
You care for me, you care in disguise
As you piece parts of my heart, I find parts of yours




In the blankets and on the floor
Truth be told, I'm growing colder in your arms

Overall Meaning

The song "Walls" by Crywolf is a tale of a relationship that is based on lies and deceit, as well as its consequences. The opening lines, "You invited me in and said it's bound to happen," signify that the singer has been driven to be in this situation, to begin with. The darkness in the other person's eyes reminds the singer that their relationship has been based on secrecy and falsehood. Despite knowing this, the singer is caught up in the passion of the moment, being more interested in the physical aspect of the relationship rather than anything that may be real. They don't feel at home; they know that what they're doing is wrong, but they succumb to their desires anyway.


The chorus showcases insecurity on the part of both partners. They both know they are operating in secret and that they lack trust. They know that they never had each other's hearts and that they should have stopped before things got too far. Despite all this, they are continuing to break down the walls that they have built up for one another. They are clinging onto a relationship built upon nothing and as such, they remain trapped behind the walls they have created.


The second verse talks of unrequited love; the singer is left with his heart on the floor and his grave dug all because of the other person's lack of care. The other person's affection is nothing but a poison, and they've spun a web of deceit in the singer's mind. Yet, still he finds himself drawn to her despite her lies. He is merely a piece to the puzzle that the other person is constructing. He finds himself growing colder in her arms, indicating his trust has been irreparably damaged.


Overall, "Walls" is an emotionally charged song that deals with themes of deception, passion, and lack of trust. It is a complicated song that requires close listening to understand its intricacies.




Line by Line Meaning

You invited me in and said "It's bound to happen"
You welcomed me into your life, expecting that something was going to happen sooner or later.


The darkness, it shaded your eyes
Your eyes were dark and mysterious, hinting at secrets you tried to keep hidden.


And all I could think about
I couldn't help but think about


Is the life behind our lies
The reality behind the lies we were telling each other


And the blankets, they covered your skin
You were covered by blankets, but I could still see your skin underneath


Your lips, they just welcomed me in
You kissed me, inviting me into a moment of intimacy


I don't feel at home in this house
I don't feel comfortable in this place, despite being invited in


But my hands, they still run up your blouse
Despite feeling uneasy, I still touched your body intimately


And our lies now unfold in the dark
We continue to tell lies to each other in the darkness of the night


And our eyes are now bright to the sun
Despite the darkness, our eyes adapted and became brighter in daylight


We're doing this all wrong
We know that we're not doing things right, but we continue to do them anyway


They can't know what goes on behind these walls
Nobody else knows what's happening inside this private space


You never really had my heart
Despite our intimacy, you don't have a true emotional connection to me


We broke all the locks and ran out of our stalls
We broke free from our restraints and ran towards reckless behavior


We should have stopped from the start
We realize that we should have never started this relationship


You left my heart on the floor
You broke my heart and left me feeling empty


You dug my grave in the bed
Our intimacy was like a grave, burying any hope for a real, emotional connection


Your lips against my ear
You whispered words of comfort to me, but they were lies


Said "I'll never leave your head"
You promised that you would always be on my mind, but it was just another empty promise


Like a spider now
Similar to a spider,


Spinning webs in my brain
You're weaving a web of lies in my mind, making it hard for me to think clearly.


You sink your venom in
Your words and actions are like venom, hurting me in ways I can't see


Love, it rushes through my veins
Despite the pain, I still feel love for you coursing through my body


Are you breaking all the glass around your eyes?
Are you allowing yourself to see the truth of our relationship, despite any illusions?


You care for me, you care in disguise
You say that you care for me, but it's hard to tell if it's truly genuine


As you piece parts of my heart, I find parts of yours
As we become closer, we start to understand each other better and see more of our own vulnerabilities


In the blankets and on the floor
Our intimacy is reflected in the objects around us


Truth be told, I'm growing colder in your arms
In reality, I'm starting to feel more and more distant from you, despite the intimate moments we share.

LYRICS:

You invited me in and said,
"It's bound to happen"
The darkness, it shaded your eyes
And all I could think about are
The life behind our lies
And the blankets, they covered your skin
Your lips, they just welcomed me in
I don't feel at home in this house
But my hands, they still run up your blouse
And our lies now unfold in the dark
And our eyes are now bright to the sun
We're doing this all wrong

They can't know what goes on behind these walls
You never really had my heart
You never really had my heart
We broke all the locks and ran out of our stalls
We should have stopped from the start
We should have stopped from the start

You left my heart on the floor
You dug my grave in the bed
Your lips against my ear
Said, "I'll never leave you"
Like a spider now spinning webs in my brain
You sink your venom in
Love, it rushes through my veins

They can't know what goes on behind these walls
You never really had my heart
You never really had my heart
We broke all the locks and ran out of our stalls
We should have stopped from the start
We should have stopped from the start

Are you breaking all the glass around your eyes?
You care for me, you care in disguise
As you piece parts of my heart, I find parts of yours
In the blankets and on the floor
Truth be told, I'm growing colder in your arms

(I'm growing colder in your arms)
