spirental Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It tells me I should go outside
But I don't wanna leave this
Cave that I have built
Faces are covered behind closed doors
It seems like everything's on pause
But I don't wanna leave this
Tell the sun to close its eyes
We won't need it for some time
Tell the doors to stay closed
I'm happy here inside my hole
Tell the sun to close its eyes
We won't need it for some time
Tell the doors to stay closed
I'm happy here inside my hole
