Locks And Blinds
WATERMEDOWN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the crevices of my apartment
You disregarded my every attempt
To prove everything evident
Instead of playing dead
For once in my life
Now, I shed time
Accommodating my whole life
The same view with a new light
That's not painted to cover up the occupants who bled here like I did
Who lived here like I did
Who died here like I did
Who left earth like I did
And who changed their
Perspective and clothes
For a place that no one knows
For a frame I named uncomfortable
Compared to angel wings and halos
Wasted time
Accommodating my whole life by
Pacing my
Apartment where we used to lie around;
In the brightest secluded
Space in this whole town
Where you never come around
No, you never come around
So, pay no attention to that man
Behind the curtain;
The great one has spoken
I just think it's time that you
Opened up your
Eyes and thought of another
Before yourself
It's time
The song "Locks and Blinds" by WATERMEDOWN is a haunting and introspective reflection on the emotional turmoil that the singer has experienced, and the ways in which they have tried to cope with it. The lyrics describe hiding secrets in the apartment, and feeling disregarded by someone who failed to understand the depth of the singer's pain. This led to a period of intense introspection, symbolized by the locks and blinds that the singer used to create a sense of mental and emotional security. The lyrics suggest that this period of introspection brought about a change in the singer's perspective, as they realized that they were not alone in their struggles, and that others had experienced similar pain and loss.

I've kept secrets
I've hidden my true feelings and experiences
In the crevices of my apartment
In the small, hidden spaces in the place where I live
You disregarded my every attempt
You ignored my efforts to reveal the truth
To prove everything evident
To make everything clear and obvious
Instead of playing dead
Rather than pretending not to exist
For once in my life
At least one time in my existence
Now, I shed time
Now, I waste time
Accommodating my whole life
Adjusting my entire existence
With locks and blinds
By using locks and blinds to hide the truth
The same view with a new light
Seeing the same things in a different way
That's not painted to cover up the occupants who bled here like I did
That is not decorated to hide the people who suffered here like I did
Who lived here like I did
Who experienced life in this place like I did
Who died here like I did
Who passed away in this place like I did
Who left earth like I did
Who departed from this world like I did
And who changed their
And those who transformed their
Perspective and clothes
Viewpoints and outward appearance
For a place that no one knows
For a location that is mysterious and unknown
For a frame I named uncomfortable
For a setting that I consider unpleasant
Compared to angel wings and halos
In contrast to a heavenly, perfect place
Wasted time
Used time in a way that produced no value
Accommodating my whole life by
Changing my entire existence in order to
Pacing my
Walking back and forth in
Apartment where we used to lie around;
The place where we would relax together;
In the brightest secluded
In the most illuminated yet private
Space in this whole town
Area of the city that is the most well-lit, yet hidden
Where you never come around
You never visit
No, you never come around
No, you never visit
So, pay no attention to that man
Ignore the person
Behind the curtain;
Who is hidden from view;
The great one has spoken
The leader has made a statement
I just think it's time that you
I believe it is necessary for you to
Opened up your
Be more transparent with your
Eyes and thought of another
Think about someone else
Before yourself
Before your own desires and needs
It's time
The time has come
