Cleo Lyrics

wiggly days wiggly nights
When it's dark bring in lights so you can see
What a sound straight through my spine
Bounced off me
Makes me round
3-D sound
Push it down move it around, see I'm fine
Ain't it strange that I can dream
(You can say it's night or day
Snow or rain it's all the same)
When there's nothing I have ever seen
(In here, In here)
Ain't it strange that I can dream
(You can say it's night or day
Snow or rain it's all the same)
Ain't it strange that I have brain activity
(In here, In here)

Who brought those cameras in
Who gave who the right
Inside a sea turned from frog to freak
(Linnart Nilson shut off those lights)
To tiny, red, and meek
Strange that I'm a human being
Ain't it strange that I can dream
(You can say it's night or day
Snow or rain it's all the same)
Aint' it strange that I'm a human being
(In here, In here)
Ain't it strange that I can dream
(You can say it's night or day
Snow or rain it's all the same)
Living in the womb
Running out of room
Have to come out soon
Have to meet the sun and moon and

I've heard that this song is written from the viewpoint of a band member's unborn baby. But I always thought of it as a musing on how weird it is to exist and experience consciousness.

Aftter hearing about that unborn baby perspective this song makes so much more sense. I absolutely love the sound of this song and the lyrics. One of my favorite bts songs.

it's, no doubt, inspired by doug's then unborn son.

Yeah, when I first heard this song, it wasn't until the "Living in the womb, running out of room" part that I relalized hey, maybe this is about a fetus Very bizarre, very genius.
