What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
At birth you betrayed a tendency toward suffocating
2
We all assumed you'd dig a hole and just breathe there
3
No one ever would have guessed that the tube attached to your mask
4
would stretch as far as it has.
5
But you, look at you, you've crossed a continent with your mask on,
6
you tethers let you keep a lung in your home all these years
7
I don't know why the L, but that is where you had to know,
8
so that is where you pulled the cord,
9
inhaled a chestful of this world
10
It's all you breathe anymore
11
It's the air that you need
12
Open your mouth, girl
13
Nothing must be certain
14
nothing must be clear
15
nothing must be perfect
16
nothing must be clear
17
You don't need a single string to bring air to where you are,
18
you can breathe the stuff they got right here
19
It's all you breathe anymore
20
And you can try to go back but locks are all changed
21
The excuses they offer are awkward and lame
22
They don't even notice the mouth on your face
23
is facing them plainly and free to exhale
24
So you open your mouth,
25
air comes in, air goes out
26
You can breathe
27
Air can enter and air can leave
28
So you've seen a sliver of the cities in the empire
29
and taken up new breathing at the foot of the Pacific
30
Is it so these scenes can haunt your dreams in nights of fitful slumber?
31
Or will you fall back in the map and see what else might come
32
unplugged?
