Trenton WoodleyAbout
In an track-by-track done through Alternative Press, frontman Trenton Woodley had the following to say about this song:
“Lion Skin” is about the place between awake and asleep when something is heavy on your mind, and your dreams and imaginations are at their most vivid and you wander, half-asleep...
Lion Skin Lyrics
[Verse 1: Trenton Woodley]
I wonder, can you daydream at night?
Lying awake, I've had too much time
I'm watching picture shows in the shadows
Dance for the crowd tonight
Imagination is such a vivid place to hide
While stars watch over you
[Chorus: Trenton Woodley]
Through silent homes
The lights are out, but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out, but I walk these halls
I promised not to wake you
So I'll walk light, just so you can hear
[Verse 2: Trenton Woodley]
The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling
We'll hear everything except what we need to hear
Sleeplessness is for the restless and I'm just fine
Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness
There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes
(Let them weave their little webs)
(To snatch the sunlight from the lens)
I'm staring at the ceiling cause I'm fed up with the sight
(Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads)
While stars watch over you
[Chorus: Trenton Woodley]
Through silent homes
The lights are out, but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out, but I walk these halls
Cast the sheep out of your mind
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
[Verse 3: Tyler Carter & Jonny Craig]
I stumble in and I stumble out
Of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses, but I'm at home (Foreign houses)
Now a ghost has left behind his sheets
Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere
Until I wake up somewhere I know I've never been
[Bridge: Trenton Woodley]
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you
And I'll walk while stars watch over you
[Chorus: Trenton Woodley]
Through silent homes
The lights are out, but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out, but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out, but I walk these halls
Cast the sheep out of your mind
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
