Squirrels
Orion Rigel Dommisse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scarred in to my brick walls
And in their way into the walls
They don't know what it is
Or is my calls
I have three squirrels in my hands
Chewing my fingers
Bloody pulp and
They won't leave if I cannot afford
To feed them
Thousands of them
They've outgrown the cage
And I know exactly where they've been for days
In my mattress burrowing
Birthing litters of them
This Spring
'You taste like my wife'
He told me
I taste like your wife now
Oh please
Leavin' dishes of poison around
Sleeping on carcasses after the curtains
I've got three squirrels in my hands
Chewing my fingers
Bloody pulp and
I've got three squirrels in my hands
They will leave if I cannot afford to feed them
Thousands of them
Now they've outgrown the cage
I know exactly where they've been for days
In my mattress
Burrowing
Birthing litters of them
This spring
The lyrics of "Squirrels" by Orion Rigel Dommisse deal with themes such as captivity, obsession, and delusion. At first, the singer describes holding creatures that have scarred their way into her brick walls. The creatures, which turn out to be squirrels, represent her fixation on something that has been trapped and that she cannot let go of. The squirrels have overgrown their cage, and the singer cannot afford to feed them anymore, so she resorts to leaving dishes of poison around. Meanwhile, she is also dealing with a man who tells her she tastes like his wife, which further emphasizes her sense of being trapped and objectified.
The repeated line "I've got three squirrels in my hands, chewing my fingers bloody pulp" suggests that the squirrels are both a source of comfort and pain for the singer. She cannot release them, but their presence is destructive and violent. The line "they don't know what it is or is my calls" highlights the singer's sense of isolation and her inability to communicate her needs effectively.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of desperation and a struggle to break free from captivity, whether it be physical or emotional. The squirrels represent the singer's obsession and desire to hold onto something that is ultimately causing her harm.

Mamma, creatures that I held once
Once I had these creatures that I loved like family
Scarred in to my brick walls
Their memory is forever etched into my life
And in their way into the walls
Their essence permeated every aspect of my life
They don't know what it is
They are ignorant to the struggles of life
Or is my calls
Or do they just not care about my cries for help
I have three squirrels in my hands
There are some things in life that we just can't let go of
Chewing my fingers
Sometimes these things that we hold onto can be painful
Bloody pulp and
The pain we experience can leave a lasting impression on us
They won't leave if I cannot afford
Some things in life require more than just love and nurturing
To feed them
Sometimes we need to be able to provide for those we love
Thousands of them
The burden of responsibility can grow beyond what we ever imagined
They've outgrown the cage
The things we love can become too big or too much for us to handle
And I know exactly where they've been for days
We can't always keep track of the things we love, but we always know where to find them
In my mattress burrowing
Sometimes the things we hold onto reside in the deepest parts of us
Birthing litters of them
They can bring forth new life and new hope within us
'You taste like my wife'
He told me
Sometimes the people we love are replaced, but the memories remain
I taste like your wife now
Oh please
It's painful to be compared to or replace someone we once loved
Leavin' dishes of poison around
The world can be a dangerous place for the things we love
Sleeping on carcasses after the curtains
The remnants of things we once loved can haunt us
They will leave if I cannot afford to feed them
If we can't provide for the things we hold onto, they may leave us
Now they've outgrown the cage
The things we hold onto can grow beyond our control
I know exactly where they've been for days
The things we love and hold onto never really leave us
In my mattress
Burrowing
Birthing litters of them
This spring
They continue to grow and change within us, bringing new life and new hope
