Possibly about voice, expression, consumption or voicelessness — “the mouth” can symbolise what is spoken/unspoken, what is devoured or devours. Could be about communication, silence, or bite.
[Verse 1]
I'm cut in two
My heart hatched onto
The mouth of a god
Give in for teeth and tongue
[Chorus]
The sky opens up
I'm high and cannot stop
[Verse 2]
You come and smear it out
I'm shy and dry my mouth
A prince eats from my hand
We kissed and now we dance
[Chorus]
The sky opens up
I'm high and cannot stop
The frantic search for more
My body on the floor
[Bridge]
In a maze
We're in the maze
[Outro]
I need help to control myself
I need some help to control myself
