The title might be a reference to a 1970 documentary of the same name by British artist Amanda Feilding, in which she tries to drill a hole into her forehead in an effort to expose the outer membrane of her brain.
Whenever you find home
And if everyone belongs there
Feeling our bodies breaking down
Just trying to find a way out to a city so big
That it is bound to keep your secrets
Pack your seats high
Saying goodbye to your close friends
Making some promises like
“I’ll see you again”
So when will I see you again?
(New apartment complexes rising)
I know a few chords that could make you miss me
They ring and decay in this garage every few days
Just trying to figure out this beat
So if you want to come back East
Then maybe you can help me find it
(Take down your pictures, pack your belongings)
If your arms are just felt
When you hold me, I’ll feel held
We’ll sink in these notes
It never felt like this
It never felt like this
Tell me we belong here
If your arms become smoke
Then I’ll have nothing left to hold
We’ll dissipate with these notes
It shouldn’t feel like this
It shouldn’t feel like this
If everyone belongs here
