Hole In The Wall
to the birds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke with a start
Crying bullets, beating heart
To hear all God's creatures
Roaring again

Not a cricket was creaking,
Or a floorboard was squeaking,
And all the world was snoring for show

There's a hole in the ocean floor
There's a hole in the ocean floor
Gonna stop bleeding alone

I woke with a start
Crying bullets, beating heart

To hear all God's creatures
Roaring again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Hole In One" by The Bird and the Bee portray a restless dream state, where the singer wakes up startled, crying bullets and with a pounding heart. In this dream, the world around her is completely silent, with no sign of any living creature making a sound. All is still, except for the chorus of snoring. It is a surreal experience, where the silence itself becomes overwhelming and almost oppressive.

The chorus then introduces the concept of the "hole in the ocean floor". This could be a metaphor for a deep-seated emotional wound or a larger societal issue that needs to be addressed. It is only by stopping the bleeding that the singer can hope to find peace and a sense of closure. The deep sense of restlessness and unease in the song is reinforced by the repeating of the opening verse, as though the cycle of anxiety and fear is never truly broken.

Overall, "Hole In One" provides a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the singer's subconscious, with its vivid imagery and emotive lyrics.

Line by Line Meaning

I woke with a start
I abruptly woke up from my sleep

Crying bullets, beating heart
I was startled and frightened, my heart pounding in my chest

To hear all God's creatures
To listen to all the animals in nature

Roaring again
Making loud sounds once more

Not a cricket was creaking,
No sound of insects moving

Or a floorboard was squeaking,
No sound of wooden floors creaking

And all the world was snoring for show
All the organisms were making sounds while sleeping as if they were perfectly fine

There's a hole in the ocean floor
There is a opening in the bottom of the sea

Gonna stop bleeding alone
Stopping the consistent outpouring of a liquid by oneself
