The Cover-Up
Natural Snow Buildings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't care, and nor does your daughter
Free ?, ? ? and rifles
But you were still in bed when the shadow first ?
Fear the windows, cover it with curtains
But I suppose that's possible, you emerged from your dreams of violence
? ? between the eyes
Fear them, there's nowhere you can hide
Fear them, there's nowhere you can hide




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Natural Snow Buildings's song, The Cover-Up, leave a lot to imagination and interpretation. The first two lines could suggest a sense of apathy towards something that the singer or the daughter does not care about. The next line, "Free ?, ? ? and rifles," is enigmatic as the words "free," "?" and "?" are muffled and unclear. It could suggest an impending doom, a revolution or a violent conflict that the singer and the daughter are aware of but do not have any control over.


The following lines induce a sense of vulnerability and fear. The singer suggests covering up the windows with curtains, whether to escape from the outside world or to avoid being observed from outside is unclear. Moreover, it is stated that the "shadow first ?" when the singer or the daughter was still in bed, implying a sudden and unexpected occurrence. The last two lines indicate an immediate danger, warning the singer and the daughter that there is nowhere to hide from the unknown threat that the singer describes as having "emerged from your dreams of violence."


Overall, the lyrics of The Cover-Up carry a sense of uncertainty and danger. It could be interpreted as a commentary on the state of society, the fear of the unknown, or an impending doom.

pretty sure the actaul lyrics are:

Hell, down it came and knocked at your door
Three men in grey with sunglasses and rifles
But you were still in bed when they shot the first bullet
Through the windows covered with curtains
But as fast as possible you emerged from your dreams of violence
shot each guy between the eyes
Fear them, there’s nowhere you can hide
Fear them, there’s nowhere you can hide



Cole Marshall Wilks

Hell, down it came
And knocked at your door
Three men in black
With sunglasses and rifles
But you were still in bed
When they shot the first bullet
Through the windows
Covered with curtains
But as fast as possible
You emerged from your dreams
Of violence, shot each guy between the eyes
Fear them
There's nowhere you can hide
Fear them
There's nowhere you can hide
