Victoria Canal said she wrote this song as an ode to atheism/godlessness, as she describes herself writing the chorus with the lyrics “ spelled out on a book shelf” and describes a forlorn lack of comfort and vulnerability, most likely at the whims of anxiety and insecurity, similar to 15%.
Here’s...
[Verse 1]
How did I end up here?
Guarded and insincere
Walking on tippy toes
Nobody knows
[Pre Chorus]
Well, it's all in the eyes, dear
Yeah, it's all in the eyes, dear
I could cry, but I'm happy here
Hiding my tears
[Chorus]
There's no morning glory
No Bible or moral of the story to follow
Beneath it all, we are hollow
[Verse 2]
Why does it feel so fake?
My mirror's about to break, mm
Under the moon, we take it
Bury in a hurry in
[Chorus]
There's no morning glory
No Bible or moral of the story to follow
Beneath it all, we are hollow, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Eh-eh-eh, mm
[Bridge]
Don't leave it to me
I just follow my feet
Right into fragile ground
Don't leave it to me
Because as you can see
I just lost what I found
[Chorus]
There's no morning glory
No Bible or moral of the story to follow
Beneath it all, we are hollow
[Outro]
Hey, hey, mm-mm
Mm-mm
