Kelsey seems to be describing her time with a man (possibly a famous man and/or a musician?) who is experiencing some type of threat or pressure, surrounded, and filled with a futile sense of bravado that doesn’t see the position that he’s in.
Why Knock for You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sly fox caught between the sword and the fence
And ya, he's losin' bets on who's first to be surrounded
Climbed the wall to find himself in the trenches that I'm in
And I'm not losin' out on this war when he's surrounded
[Pre-Chorus]
And we're livin' it now
It's lightning trapped in clouds
You'll be lost to the bloodhounds
[Chorus]
Breathing while underneath birds
I said I really wouldn't mind, said I wouldn't really mind
Reading aloud to the earth
I said I really wouldn't mind, shit, I wouldn't really mind
[Post-Chorus]
They're always watching you
Why knock for you?
Symphony's cry for you
Why knock for you?
[Verse 2]
He moves in like a shadow's ceiling
In the moonlight of the kitchen
Of Sunday's star dinner
Ooh, smell it when you walk in
[Pre-Chorus]
And we're livin' it now
It's lightning trapped in clouds
You'll be lost to the bloodhounds
[Chorus]
Breathing while underneath birds
I said I really wouldn't mind, said I wouldn't really mind
Reading aloud to the earth
I said I really wouldn't mind, shit, I wouldn't really mind
[Bridge]
I can't breathe in there
I need some air
I can't breathe in there
I need some air
I can't breathe in there
I need some air
I can't breathe in there
I need some air
[Outro]
They're always watching you
Why knock for you?
Symphony's cry for you
Why knock for you?

What did Kelsey Lu say about "Why Knock for You"?
I decided to flip [the melody] in reverse, and I found that melody that I ended up liking the most. I said, “That’s it. I’m not putting any words to it. This is living in an entity of its own.” And then I pushed myself to actually write some lyrics to it.
