That
How's
That
Why's there lines 'tween what you read
And why do lines divide the street
Why does a plant need a seed
How much weight is light
What a bother to not waste it
Why does water make some things grow
And how does fire just make that smoke
Coming, coming
In my eyes
It's in my eyes
I'll cross boundaries so that I'll repay
I'll spray smoke right in my own face
A botched attempt to just feel awake
I made a break but there's no escape
Hole
I'm seeing this hole
I'm hoping it goes
Where I wanna go
So then I climb in the
When you hear me tap in threes
I'm opposite of this steel sheet
Now you know just what I need
There's one escape, please set me free
One escape it appears locked
One escape but it feels fraught
What escape
Now I'm in this hole
No throughway but I paid the toll
Where
Where
Where
I said where's
The escape
What escape
Well, that escape
That escape
No I won't escape
That escape's for
Whose escape
That looks good for
'Good escapes'
Stay
Wait
No
Wait
No
Wait
No
In the lyrics of "Clung" by Decor, the artist delves into a series of existential questions and reflections on the nature of boundaries, growth, and escape. The repetition of "How's" and "Why's" at the beginning of the song sets the tone for a contemplative exploration of the world and its intricacies. The questioning of lines between what is read and the division of streets suggests a curiosity about the limitations and divisions we encounter in our everyday lives. The pondering of why a plant needs a seed and the relationship between water and waste delves into the interconnectedness of life processes and the impact of human actions on the environment.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take a more introspective turn, with the artist reflecting on personal experiences and emotions. The mention of spraying smoke in their own face as a "botched attempt to just feel awake" speaks to a desire for heightened awareness or stimulation, even if it comes with consequences. The imagery of crossing boundaries and feeling trapped in a hole symbolizes a struggle for freedom and self-discovery. The repeated calls for escape and the recognition that some escapes may be locked or fraught with difficulty convey a sense of yearning for a way out of a challenging situation or mindset.
The use of repetition in the lyrics, such as the repeated cries of "Wait, No," conveys a sense of urgency and frustration, echoing the internal conflict and struggle for resolution that the artist is experiencing. The questioning of whose escape is being sought and the assertion that the "good escapes" are elusive suggest a longing for a sense of purpose or fulfillment that remains elusive. The final declaration of "No I won't escape" juxtaposed with the repeated mention of escape throughout the song conveys a sense of resignation or acceptance of the current circumstances, despite the desire for something more.
In conclusion, "Clung" by Decor is a deeply introspective and philosophical exploration of boundaries, growth, and the search for escape. Through a series of probing questions and introspective reflections, the artist grapples with existential themes and personal struggles, ultimately conveying a sense of yearning for freedom and understanding in the face of internal and external obstacles. The song's repetitive structure and emotional intensity create a powerful and thought-provoking listening experience, inviting the listener to contemplate their own boundaries, desires, and the search for meaning in a complex world.
