Cate elaborates on the meaning of “Dirt on the Bed” in an Apple Music track-by-track:
This song is very set in the house. It’s being haunted by yourself in a way—this idea of time travel and storing things inside of you that maybe don’t serve you but you still have these memories inside of you that...
[Verse 1]
Trust in love
Just as you are
Reaching without watching
The switches on the wall
[Verse 2]
Sound doesn't go away
In habitual silence
It reinvents the surface
Of everything you touch
[Verse 3]
As you mouth my name
I'm older than glass
I'm kicking at the corner
Recycling air
[Chorus]
Dirt on the bed (Here)
Dirt on the bed (Here, here)
[Verse 4]
For all I know
I might not suffer
A resurrection
That's always been true
[Verse 5]
On repeat
Without a function
And no confession
Recycling air
[Chorus]
Dirt on the bed (Here)
Dirt on thе bed (Here, hеre)
Dirt on the bed (Here)
Dirt on the bed (Here, here)
