Glue
Doused Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tethered to the earth
If cut you won't come back here
What's there to do
When I can't stop thinking of you?
Laying there, a tangled pair
I'm stuck like glue
Play with the hair
Upon your head
It's just nice to not feel alone

When I can't stop thinking of you?" express their inner turmoil and vulnerability. The second half of the chorus talks about the comfort they find in their partner's presence, how they are "stuck like glue" and just being able to lie in bed with them, playing with their hair is a source of solace.

Line by Line Meaning
I can see you floating out there
I can perceive your existence as being distant and disconnected from reality
Tethered to the earth
Despite your distance, you are still bound to this earthly existence
If cut you won't come back here
If you were to sever this connection, there would be no returning to this existence
What's there to do
What action can be taken
When I can't stop thinking of you?
When you occupy my thoughts constantly
Laying there, a tangled pair
Existing in a state of entanglement, intertwined with one another
I'm stuck like glue
I am bound to you inseparably, as if held together by powerful adhesive
Just lay in bed
Simply existing in a state of being prone and resting
Play with the hair
Physically engage with the strands of hair upon your head
Upon your head
Upon the uppermost part of your body
It's just nice to not feel alone
It is pleasant to have someone else present, not feeling the isolation of solitude
