Glass Animals Lyrics

Here's to the one with the smoking stare
I raise a toast to the person who captivates me with their intense gaze.

Running through my head with a bolo knife
You're constantly on my mind, cutting away at my thoughts with a sharp weapon.

Chopping up the threads made up from looms
You're cutting apart the intricate and delicate fabric of my emotions.

Of love and blood and hate and some empty tunes
My feelings for you are a mixture of passion, anger, and sadness, with some meaningless distractions in between.

Eyes killer cold and black and bare
Your eyes are piercing and intense, with a cold and menacing gaze.

Freaky little tooth hanging solo
You have an odd and unsettling physical feature, like a single, strange tooth.

Sucking at the walls like a rolo now
You're draining my energy and pulling at my emotions like a vacuum.

Making a cocoon when my brain fits
You're creating a sense of safety and comfort in my mind, even though it may not be healthy.

I wanna go back
I wish to return to a previous state or feeling.

I wanna go back with a club and attack
I want to confront my problems head-on and fight for what I desire.

I wanna take to my guns and break you
I need to stand up for myself and push back against those who try to control me.

I gotta make my little foe take his own
I must overcome my inner demons and negative self-talk to reach my full potential.

I've overgrown with a yellow mold
I've become stuck and stagnant, with a sense of decay and decay.

Just fizzing drones in a hollow dome
My thoughts are empty and meaningless, like buzzing insects in an empty space.

My funny nose dripping little groans
I'm feeling sad and hopeless, with physical symptoms like a runny nose and quiet moaning.

I'm so so cold in the marrow of my bones
I feel a deep and profound sense of loneliness and isolation, with a physical sensation of being cold to the core.

I look at you as you take a snooze
As you rest, I observe you closely and analyze your every move and feature.

Your skinny lips dripping rabid goo
Even your seemingly innocuous features seem menacing and dangerous, with saliva dripping suggestively.

I lift your chin and I grin at you
I take control of the situation and try to feel more powerful by manipulating and taunting you.

As you come to, man
As you wake up and regain consciousness.

I'm running 'round your head with a bolo knife
I have control over your thoughts and actions, and I'm using it to my advantage.

I'm gonna go back to a face, no more mask
I want to reveal my true self and stop hiding behind a façade.

I was in full bloom until I met you
Before I met you, I was thriving and growing, but you changed everything for me.

I'm gonna shake my fetters I'm breaking loose
I'm breaking free from the chains and limitations that have held me back for so long.
