SAFETY IN DREAMS
Wake me when you leave
STay ALone stay alone
Don't leave me alone
Safety in Your needs
Wake me when you bleed that You're alone
Stay alone
Everybody leaves what they want to leave

lET me Believe all my fake Mysteries
Everybody Believes what they want to Believe
Let me believe all my secret Histories

All your dreams are not Big Enough
Life is not Quiet enough to hear me calling Out
All these Day bIg Blue emptiness
lIfe's not long enough to let your love sing Out

Everybody leaves what they want to leave

Everybody Believes what they want to Believe
Let me believe all my secret Histories

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pop Pistol's song "Coyote" touch on themes of loneliness, fear, and the desire for safety in both relationships and one's own mind. The opening line, "Wake me when you leave," sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is full of pleas for the other person not to abandon the singer. The repeated phrase "Stay alone" highlights the fear of being left behind, and the desire for protection ("safety in your needs").

The lyrics then turn to ideas of belief, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the world. The lines "let me believe all my fake mysteries" and "let me believe all my secret histories" speak to a desire for control and agency in one's own life, even if it means holding onto things that might not be entirely true. The repeated use of "Coyote" adds an element of danger to the song, suggesting that there may be something lurking just beyond the singer's control.

Overall, "Coyote" is a haunting exploration of the human psyche, with themes that are both relatable and unsettling. It speaks to the universal desire for safety and understanding, while also acknowledging that sometimes we are our own worst enemies.
