volcano
Everclear Lyrics

I like it here in this quiet room
The singer enjoys the peace and tranquility of the room.

We can turn off all the trouble when we do what we do.
When they're together, they can forget about their problems and focus on each other.

I like it here in the middle of the day,
They enjoy being together even during ordinary moments of the day.

We can hide inside each other when we need to get away
They find solace in each other's company and use it as an escape from the outside world.

From rest of world
The outside world is a source of discomfort for them.

We need to get away from the world outside.
They feel the need to leave the outside world behind and be alone together.

Way from the world,
They desire to be far removed from the world's chaos.

Need to find the place where we can hide
They long for a private place where they can be together without disruptions from the outside.

Somewhere they can't find us
They hope to find a hidden place to escape from the rest of the world.

Yeah, somewhere under a volcano.
The ideal place they imagine is underneath an active volcano.

We can hide inside a volcano
They envision a fantasy where they can safely retreat into a volcano's caves.

We can find the good life on the inside.
In the depths of the active volcano, they imagine finding a fulfilling life together.

I like the crazy way you look at me,
The unconventional way they connect and look at each other is something the singer admires.

Without the drugs we can be what we're afraid to be.
They recognize that they are less inhibited and more themselves in each other's company without the use of drugs.

I remember what it's like to be clean and insane
The singer recalls what it felt like to be unaltered and crazy in the past.

I remember what is that makes me need to get away.
There's a driving force that makes them feel the need to escape from the outside world together.

Where my chain can pass from black to white
They long to be in a place where they can truly transform themselves.

They may let us out this time, oh.
The possibility of being released from their current state is a hopeful thought for them.

I made some mistakes, I paid the price
The singer acknowledges past mistakes and the consequences that followed.

I walked away clean, you know I did my time.
The singer has moved on from their past mistakes and characterizes it as a period of imprisonment.

You've been waiting for years, waiting for me.
The singer's partner has been waiting patiently for them.

Waiting to leave so we can find a dream
The partner desires to leave the outside world behind and search for something better together with the singer.

We can live under volcano with the fire all around
They envision a life living under a volcano surrounded by its heat and flames.

We can lose yourself inside a dream
Their escape from reality and retreat to a life under the volcano feels like a dream come true.

In the middle of the northern sound.
They imagine finding this paradise in the midst of the northern wilderness.

We got to get away, oh oh
The desire to escape is a persistent thought for them both.

You know we gotta find the place where we can hide
They express their desperation to find the perfect hiding place where can simply be themselves.

Oh, somewhere we can hide.
Their hope is to find a hidden sanctuary to call their own.
