I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
If I'd known all your ghosts
I never would have come so far
I spend too many hours
Wondering who you really are
Twin peaks and david lynch
Met on your couch at syracuse
Your sexual advances
Are unconvincing and untrue
(Unconvincing and untrue)
My lover's a carnivore
Her body's an ivory casing
This whimsy has put me to sleep
Why is everything a chore?
I'm too young to be defeated
Let's make fun at the video store
With blue velvet and other titles
And I can't believe you at all
So you can keep your holiday spirit
It belonged to both of us
It belonged to both of us
Now we need to redefine
Tell me where to draw the line
Close contact on the couch was fine
Tell me where to draw the line
I know things could be different
If I were older and less afraid
You don't have to make excuses
I'm already on my way
Twin peaks and david lynch
Met on your couch at syracuse
Your growing fainter
Your humor's getting sour too
I never would have come so far
I spend too many hours
Wondering who you really are
Twin peaks and david lynch
Met on your couch at syracuse
Your sexual advances
Are unconvincing and untrue
(Unconvincing and untrue)
My lover's a carnivore
Her body's an ivory casing
This whimsy has put me to sleep
Why is everything a chore?
I'm too young to be defeated
Let's make fun at the video store
With blue velvet and other titles
And I can't believe you at all
So you can keep your holiday spirit
It belonged to both of us
It belonged to both of us
Now we need to redefine
Tell me where to draw the line
Close contact on the couch was fine
Tell me where to draw the line
I know things could be different
If I were older and less afraid
You don't have to make excuses
I'm already on my way
Twin peaks and david lynch
Met on your couch at syracuse
Your growing fainter
Your humor's getting sour too
