Mindcircus
Lowland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Six hours from morning
And falling in
Sink me off to, sleep
So come along within, ahh, uhh
I think it's time to let me in
I'm tipping my foot very close to the edge, edge, ahh
And I need for me to repair
To neatly stand and spin it around in my head, yeah, ahh
Can I please have some silence
Can I please have some silence (yeah)
Can I please have some silence
How 'bout some space
Almost
Ready to drift now
And I feel myself slipping inside you
Just a little bit further
Before something drags me back
So close, I thought I nearly had you there
I'm so tired
I gotta sleep
I wanna wake up from a dream
I've had enough
I need to sleep
I want to wake up without you, here
So come along within, ahh, uhh
I think it's time to let me in
I'm tipping my foot very close to the edge, edge, ahh
Just a few more of your seconds
And I need for me to repair
To neatly stand and spin it around in my head, yeah, ahh
Can I please have some silence
Can I please have some silence (yeah)
Can I please have some silence
How bout some space
Could I please, have some silence
Could I have some space
Could I have some space
Can I please have some silence

Falling in
Starting to fall into a state of mind
Six hours from morning
The time of day when the mind is barely waking up
And falling in
Continuing to fall into this state of mind
Sink me off to, sleep
Wishing to drift off into peaceful sleep
So come along within, ahh, uhh
Inviting someone to join and share this state of mind
I think it's time to let me in
Requesting someone to open up and allow connection
I'm tipping my foot very close to the edge, edge, ahh
Expressing vulnerability and fear of tipping over the edge of sanity
Just a few more of your seconds
Asking for a little bit more time and attention
And I need for me to repair
Admitting the need to heal and fix oneself
To neatly stand and spin it around in my head, yeah, ahh
Desiring to sort out thoughts in a clear and organized way
Can I please have some silence
Begging for quietness to be able to think clearly
Can I please have some silence (yeah)
Repeating the plea for silence even more emphatically
Can I please have some silence
Still requesting for silence despite not receiving it yet
How bout some space
Asking for some physical and emotional distance
Almost
Nearly there but not quite yet
Ready to drift now
Prepared to let go and surrender to the quietness
And I feel myself slipping inside you
Sensing the connection and intimacy that comes with silence and shared states of mind
Just a little bit further
Wanting to go deeper into this state of being
Before something drags me back
Being pulled out of the peacefulness by outside distractions
So close, I thought I nearly had you there
Almost achieving the desired state but not quite
I'm so tired
Feeling exhausted and worn out
I gotta sleep
Need to rest and recharge
I wanna wake up from a dream
Wishing to be free from the confusion of thoughts and worries
I've had enough
Expressing that the current situation has become too much to bear
I need to sleep
Reiterating the need for rest and peace
I want to wake up without you, here
Desiring to wake up without the presence of the person who is causing distress
Could I please, have some silence
Asking once again for some quietness to ease the mind
Could I have some space
Requesting for physical distance to feel more comfortable
Could I have some space
Repeating the plea for space as a way of emphasis and urgency
Can I please have some silence
The final plea for silence that echoes throughout the entire song
