One mother rises, pulling the sheets from the grill
All the disguises, wandering stars once she did
All the king's horns, all the kings men, saddled and [Incomprehensible] raise the dead
Only an infant, He came to raise up the dead

Wandering wise men what did you bring to his bed
Shameless surprises, incense to bring to the dead
Nothing is wrong, it's what she did, all the king's horns and kings men
Nothing is wrong, it's what she did, all the king's horns and kings men

Nothing is wrong, it's what she did, all the king's horns raise the dead
Nothing is wrong, it's what she did, all the king's horns

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
