Watched Over by Crows
Floater Lyrics

There's a woman in the balcony weeping,
A woman is crying on the balcony, perhaps due to some kind of emotional pain.

Licking her lips at the fall.
She seems to be enjoying the sensation of sadness at the same time.

There's a boy in the bathroom who talks to the blade,
A boy is in the bathroom talking to a sharp object, possibly a razor blade or knife.

Choking back the rage for it all.
He is trying to control his anger and emotions.

Yeah, outside, the darkness is creeping as the night shoves the day from the sky.
The darkness is growing and taking over as the night takes over from the day.

And me, I'm still here, still lonely and stupid,
The singer is still present and alone, and feels ignorant and foolish.

Born me and I still don't know why.
Even though they were born, the singer doesn't understand the reason for their existence.

There's an iron-gray river that licks at its edges
An iron-colored river is washing up against its banks.

and crawls through the grass outside town.
The river slowly moves through the grass, far away from civilization.

And with a voice sweet as honey it beckons the faithful
With a sweet voice like honey, it calls out to those who have faith.

and lovingly pushes them down, down, down, down, yeah...
It then gently pushes them downward.

Outside, the daylight's receding and the moon is so full and so high.
As the sun goes down, the full moon is rising high in the sky.

And me, I'm still here, so stupid and lonely,
The singer is still present and feeling dumb and alone.

can't think and I don't wanna try.
They don't want to think or put forth the effort to do so.

There's no one searching for your weaknesses,
No one is trying to exploit your weaknesses or faults.

(For) what you're gonna do, what you're gonna feel, what you're gonna say.
No one knows what your future actions, feelings, or statements will be.

And I'm so fuckin sick of this emptiness,
The singer is tired of feeling empty inside.

While the dead lay in rows, watched over by crows,
The dead bodies are lying in rows, being watched over by crows.

We don't see, we don't speak, we don't hear...
We are not perceiving, vocalizing, or listening to anything.

Nothing at all.
Absolutely nothing is occurring.

Well, there is no shame.
There is no reason for shame.

I see no shame in this.
The singer does not perceive anything shameful in their current state.

Change your life, search for bliss.
The singer is advising others to change their lives and seek happiness.

I see no shame in this,
Once again, the singer does not feel any shame in their actions.

'Cause I tell you truth is not something, my friend,
The singer is informing their friend that truth is not a tangible object.

you'll find written on the insides of your wrists.
Truth cannot be found written on the inside of your wrists.

And absolute truth is not something, my friend, that exists, is it?
The singer poses the question, suggesting that absolute truth may not truly exist.

And all we see is outside our cages,
All we can see is what is outside of our figurative or literal cages.

the whole god damned world seems to fly.
The whole world seems to be moving rapidly.

Seems to me, padlocks made of hallucinations,
The singer is implying that the barriers that hold us back are made up by our own false perceptions.

they fascinate ravens on high, high, high, yeah...
The barriers fascinate birds, suggesting that they are an illusion or not truly binding.

Outside, the night won't be stopped,
The night will continue and cannot be halted.

and it's waiting for someone to try.
The darkness seems to be anticipating someone to challenge it.

Lusting to kill all now.
The darkness has a strong desire to end everything in the current moment.
