According to Asger in a 2021 Reddit AMA “It’s about a couple not communicating with each other. The main character of the story won’t share his thoughts, so they keep on living with a distance between them – sipping wine silently and dreaming about how their relationship could have been.”
Owls Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She pays attention to the word
And the tiny sound she heard
Amusing the tigers in line
He's drawing flowers in her face
And a mask to fill their place
And soon they will pour the silent wine
[Pre-Chorus]
She tries to pull the curtain down
Stabilise her moving crown
Hoping his hands will follow
He will speak but never tell
About the hole beneath his shell
And soon they will pour the silent wine
[Chorus]
And the owls flew out of
All the doors he'd locked up
To the deer she's walking down
She is still dreaming
She is still dreaming
[Bridge]
Every night is lingering from talk so slow
Tomorrow we'll be different she's been told
[Chorus]
And the owls flew out of
All the doors he'd locked up
To the deer she's walking down
She is still dreaming
They are soon leaving
