This song is likely an account of a woman Cass has known who is suffering from mental health conditions. The song is almost a plead for her to return to the condition she was once in.
Who aren't you today?
Where and what are we?
Under a pile of worn clothes
This is how I find you
Spinning vomit-webs
Blabbering on and on
You need more than vitamin D
Is there not anything you love?
Come out, come out
Come out, come out
Don't you know what this is?
What are you hiding from?
You were once such a merry prince
Just tickled pink by life
Take [?] remember her?
She never could listen
It's been years upon years
And she's still suffering
Come out, come out
Come out, come out
Look at the apples on the tree
Wait till they fall
Just find what makes you come alive
And that is all
Swing on a chandelier
You are in perfect health
Don't give up on your friends
Don't give up on yourself
Open hearts
