curious/furious
Willow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always knew there was an order to this
The wind in the trees whispering mathematics
I always knew I tried my best to talk back
Refract the wisdom to heal the abyss

Somebody needs to know that
And when this life is looking dark, it's all that we have
And when nobody wants to talk about it
All that we can do is step into dread, that's what I said

And I'm takin' this adventure on my own
Walkin' through a darkened forest, goin' home
Curious, furious, I feel alone, oh, ooh

Getting over it now and I
Never wear a frown because life doesn't choose
Either side, win or lose, right or wrong, it's a battle
That's all in your mind, you better open wide

Getting over it now and I
Never wear a frown because life doesn't choose
Either side, win or lose, right or wrong, it's a battle
That's all in your mind, you better open wide

Shielding myself from the depths of my heart
The surface is calm, inside the chaos restarts
Don't know what to do, my questions endless
And the only thing that I want

I don't wanna start a fight
But you know when it gets heated, that's just what I like
And I never wanna talk about it
I just wanna sit in my room instead, that's what I said

And I'm takin' this adventure on my own
Walkin' through a darkened forest, goin' home
Curious, furious, I feel alone, oh, ooh

Getting over it now and I
Never wear a frown because life doesn't choose
Either side, win or lose, right or wrong, it's a battle
That's all in your mind, you better open wide

Getting over it now and I
Never wear a frown because life doesn't choose




Either side, win or lose, right or wrong, it's a battle
That's all in your mind, you better open wide

Willow really said: "life doesn't choose either side win or lose right or wrong it's a battle that's all in your mind" that's a f*cking powerful thing to say. Sometimes one can just be in their own way not allowing themselves to be happy.

@SarahConLeche

So deep, deep as puddle

@maocharlisme

@No Name Jane and yet: somebody had to say it!!... especially in this competatively oriented zero-sum game world!

@mike41062

Idk reminds me of paramore. That hailey chick. Sounds pretty similar. Not a bad thing at all though, and yeah there's some differences but they do sound fairly similar.
