The Unbending Trees & Tracey Thorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's this terror that your made-up smile sends?
What's this image that you made of yourself?
What's this quiet sound that's crying for help?
What's the trouble that is making you lie?
Would just anything help you try?
Let it go, unclench your fist in silence
I just wanted you to hear
Just wanted you to see
The things you want to hide
Will make you really free
Just wait and see,
Walk with your both arms wide-spread
Turning to me
What's the trouble that is making you lie?
Would just anything help you try?
Let it go, unclench your fist in silence
Watch it all transform and start to make sense.
If you want me I can teach you tricks to
Survive the day when they will ditch you
If you want me I can keep a secret
If you want me I can speak
