    Dedicated to all of the anxious thoughts that keep me up at night.
    Video filmed by Josh Skinner and edited by DJ Viernes of Symmetry Films. Audio mixed and mastered by Ben Zito of Centennial Sound.
    Lyrics:
    Late at night
    When the stars don't look quite right
    In the darkness
    Slowly crawling over my skin
    Whispers at the door,
    "Let us in, let us in."
    I'm a fool
    I've been howling at a hollow moon
    There's something burning in the
    Empty room inside of my head
    Fill it up with doubt
    Let it in, let it spread
    I won't be sleeping
    There's too many monsters in the backyard
    And I feel them creeping
    Closer, closer, closer
    I'm afraid
    Is this a bunker or a shallow grave?
    Either way I'm left
    Holding onto the shovel and rope
    Digging in the dirt
    Finding bones, finding ghosts
    I won't be sleeping
    There's too many monsters in the backyard
    And I feel them creeping
    Closer, closer, closer
    But if I made my bed
    Did I make the demons in it?
    Set 'em free from my head
    Did I make the demons in it?

    I know this song is meant to be about anxious thoughts but I can't help but imagining a literal hollow moon made of brass and slate filling the sky.

      The "if I made my bed / did I make the demons in it" makes me think about a victim of abuse wondering whether they are to blame for getting together with their abuser in the first place

      I've always felt they're quite vulpine, some of the yips sound eerily similar to the foxes in my backyard and the growls aren't quite low pitched enough for an angry dog.
      Which is kind of funny considering there are wolves and foxes on two of their album covers but their band is named after a kind of Japanese crane spirit.

    someone said this was about anxiety, but when i listen to it I cant help but think of a child who attracted the attention of cryptids and/or fae and is now becoming increasingly paranoid because of the figures looming in the yard or the knocking at the door with a voice begging to be let in

    • @sofusgamer1708
      @sofusgamer1708 Před měsícem +2

      In context with the song however, it screams more of self isolation. You keep to yourself in your room, because the outside world feels unsafe (whether it be social interactions or general paranoia), but through doing so, you are slowly rotting away, while not really experiencing anything worth while. It is your bunker, but also a grave (i am not saying this because i think you don't understand the lyric or something, i just also really liked the lyric and wanted to share my own interpretations)
