The song is about a controlling relationship where all parties have good intentions but fail to communicate.
lyrics
Do not close your eyes
Don't undraw the curtains
It's been raining blood
Now there's mud on your windows
You left celery bags
And plenty of water
Have you seen gods
Have they already abandoned us
Make sure you are safe
Stay quieter than a mouse
Away from the prying eyes
I'll take care of the rest
I left celery bags
And plenty of water
There shall be no flood
To clean the gutters
Those times have been difficult for us for sure
But I’ve always stayed by your side in the darkest of hours
And you were there for me too
Every day brings us closer together and there are fewer and fewer obstacles
I’ve found a job offer for you, have you looked at it?
You will still have to legalize your stay somehow, have you thought about it?
And what should I get you for your birthday?
I’ve lost track of what you’re into these days
Gotta go to sleep
I have to wake up at 6 am tomorrow
I have a certain idea of you in my head, a certain vision of us
And if you fail to comply, at least try not to contradict
Because if you do - it’s not just an attack on me
It’s an attack on my entire worldview
I have to wake up at 6 am tomorrow
Have you slept?
Hold my hand
Why traverse the oceans
You’re safe here
Why are you so full of fear
Don’t you value our holy haven
Blend with my words
I deserve you whole
You're safe here
Why are you so full of fury
The purest of feelings lie
They're tools for proprietary abduction
Only bravest of hearts will find
The pride
To leave celery bags untouched
