Rabbit Holes Lyrics
Can I welcome
You this evening
To the front row
For the main event
Where a woman
Plays a villain
A magician
And a monument
It's true (you, you)
I'll always follow you (you, you)
I'll always follow
Rabbit holes
Rabbit holes
Where you wound up at no one knows
No one knows
No one knows
How they wound up in rabbit holes
We have all heard
Of this great act
And it's legend
The protagonist
She'll be nameless
In a red dress
Just to vanish
In the ending's twist
It's true (you, you)
I'll always follow you (you, you)
I'll always follow
Rabbit holes
Rabbit holes
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows
How they wound up in rabbit holes
I will catch you
I'm running into a speeding train
You're every bone that I need to break
And every color that I'll ever paint
You're in everything, everything
I'm jumping out of your crashing plane
I wanna fall straight through your name
In every turn of my twisting beings
You're in everything, everything
Wake me in the morning so I know
That you made it back from your rabbit hole
I will catch you
It's true
Oh where'd you go
No one knows
No one knows
How they wound up in rabbit holes
I don't know how to say this
But I feel everything at once
Do you think that God sings
When I close my eyes I can feel myself falling
And falling
Falling to the center of the earth
And I don't want to take you with me
You this evening
To the front row
For the main event
Where a woman
Plays a villain
A magician
And a monument
I'll always follow you (you, you)
I'll always follow
Rabbit holes
Rabbit holes
Where you wound up at no one knows
No one knows
No one knows
How they wound up in rabbit holes
Of this great act
And it's legend
The protagonist
She'll be nameless
In a red dress
Just to vanish
In the ending's twist
I'll always follow you (you, you)
I'll always follow
Rabbit holes
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows
How they wound up in rabbit holes
You're every bone that I need to break
And every color that I'll ever paint
You're in everything, everything
I wanna fall straight through your name
In every turn of my twisting beings
You're in everything, everything
That you made it back from your rabbit hole
Oh where'd you go
No one knows
No one knows
How they wound up in rabbit holes
But I feel everything at once
Do you think that God sings
When I close my eyes I can feel myself falling
And falling
Falling to the center of the earth
And I don't want to take you with me
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think the song is about someone who no longer really wants to be in a relationship, but he's trying to convince himself that he still loves her. He says "I'll always follow you" but he never follows her down her "rabbit holes", so clearly he is only trying to convince himself that he's as dedicated to her as he claims. And at the end of the song he finally acknowledges that he wants to fall down his own rabbit holes without her. I know there's more to this song that I'm leaving out, especially with the "main event" (the masquerade of their relationship maybe?) but I can't figure out exactly how to articulate that part, so I'll leave that to someone else...
