Lisa
Freak Kitchen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wonder what you're doin'
Wonder how you're doin'
Wonder what you're sayin'
I wonder what you're thinking
I wish you were here
How did we get here?
I am lonely prayin'
Where have you been?

No one really knows
What has happened to Lisa
No one really knows
'Cos the trees won't talk
No one really knows
What has happened to Lisa
No one really knows...

I can't let you go
Still you have to go
Who do you let in?
I wonder what you're thinkin'

Now what have I done wrong?
You're the one who's wrong!
Does he touch your skin?
Is he better than me?

No one really knows
What has happened to Lisa
No one really knows
'Cos the trees won't talk
No one really knows
What has happened to Lisa
No one really knows

We must be together
You and I together
Sweet insomnia
I see it all so clear





Now you'll sleep forever
Now you're mine forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Freak Kitchen's song Lisa convey the feelings of doubt, confusion, and loneliness that a person can experience when trying to understand the actions and emotions of someone they care about. The singer wonders what Lisa is doing, how she is doing it, what she is saying and thinking, and where she has been. He expresses sadness and loneliness while he prays and waits for her, but at the same time, he wonders why he cannot let her go even though she has already moved on.


The lyrics also suggest that there is no easy answer to the questions they raise about Lisa. The singer acknowledges that he does not know what has happened to Lisa, and neither does anyone else, because "the trees won't talk." In other words, some secrets cannot be revealed, and some questions cannot be answered because the truth is being hidden or it is too painful to reveal.


Furthermore, the song hints at the potential dark side of obsession or love. The lines "We must be together, you and I together" and "Now you'll sleep forever, now you're mine forever" suggest that the singer's love for Lisa may have become obsessive or possessive, which could end up being destructive for both of them.
