This song is very experimental and borrows greatly from “Prog rock”. The rest of the song is all in 4/4, but The chorus is in ¾. the drums during the chorus are played in 4/4, seemingly on purpose. There is also a use of dissonance and mass chords during the pre-chorus.
[Intro]
Lock the doors
And board the windows
So that nobody knows
Where we are
We're hiding from the world!
[Verse 1]
Take me with you
Because I'm floating down a rabbit hole
Ripper guide me
And let me sail my spirit home
[Pre-Chorus]
Twisting silence
Into words sing with me
Spill your secrets
Sing with me
Sing with me
[Chorus]
Lock the doors
And board the windows
So that nobody knows
Where we are
We're hiding from the world!
[Verse 2]
Spirit sing!
Sing your song!
Sing your song for me!
Melody calls out for shadows
Can't you hear them going on?
[Pre-Chorus]
Twisting silence
Into words sing with me
Spill your secrets
Sing with me
Sing with me
[Chorus]
Lock the doors
And board the windows
So that nobody knows
Where we are
We're hiding from the world!
[Bridge]
Stay with me, soul
So I won't be lonely
Swallow hope
So I won't go hungry
[Chorus]
Lock the doors
And board the windows
So that nobody knows
Where we are
We're hiding from the world!
Lock the doors
And board the windows
So that nobody knows
Where we are
We're hiding from the world!
