Numbers
The Moon & Her Mother Lyrics

Come and tear my heart apart
A plea for emotional vulnerability and the acceptance of pain in order to grow.

Ventricles are tenderly unwound
The heart is being gently opened to allow for deep introspection and self-exploration.

Pushing wires through my mouth
Attempting to articulate complex emotions and thoughts through words, which can be limiting and inadequate.

Numbers on my mind
Being consumed by analytical and logical thinking, at the expense of emotional and intuitive understanding.

Streaming all the time
A constant barrage of thoughts and ideas that are difficult to control or manage.

No, you can't tell me
A resistance to external influence and a desire to follow an individual path, even if it leads to pain or uncertainty.

This is what I need
Acceptance of personal needs as they arise, even if they conflict with societal expectations or personal desires.

Please protect my eyes from light
A need for shielding from intense emotions or experiences that can be overwhelming and difficult to process.

Information swims through winding webs
Tangled and complex thoughts that are difficult to organize or process in a clear manner.

Penetrates my little head
A sense of overwhelm and powerlessness in the face of complicated or seemingly unsolvable problems.

Images burning so hot
Emotionally charged memories or experiences that are difficult to forget or move on from.

Branding themselves on my mind
Memories or experiences that are deeply ingrained and form a significant part of one's identity or sense of self.

Now I fear pictures of God
A sense of fear or intimidation in the face of cosmic or divine powers that are difficult to understand or fathom.

Might strike me down dead, dumb and blind
The potential consequences of engaging with divine or supernatural forces, which can be violent or destructive.

I wanted love, I wanted love
An innate and universal desire for emotional connection and intimacy.

But just because this world
The realization that love is not enough to provide happiness or fulfillment in life.

Is not enough, is not enough
The need for deeper purpose and meaning beyond personal connections or relationships.

What I found wasn't love
Realizing that past experiences or connections were not truly fulfilling or meaningful, and the need to seek something deeper.
