Clarice Lyrics

Clarice lay down your mind, it's there just hard to find
Follow me as we wind our way, away

Behind an open door there lies a million more
Follow me as we wind our way, away

Time is coming soon I'll find you (Time is coming soon I'll find you)
Time is coming soon I'll find you (Time is coming soon I'll find you)
Time is coming soon, time is coming soon

Behind an open door there lies a million more
Follow me as we wind our way, away

Time is coming soon I'll find you (Time is coming soon I'll find you)
Time is coming soon I'll find you (Time is coming soon I'll find you)
Time is coming soon, time is coming soon

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

He has a girlfriend who is afraid or intentionally does not reveal herself to him "lay down your mind" he is intent on finding the "real her" behind the mirage, he assures her that if she is afraid of being an open book (open door) there will still be a dynamic to the relationship because all relationships evolve, change, etc. Am I close?

I really love this song and Snowprincess is right that it can be seen on a personal level, opening one to others.

In addition to that interpretation, I have always heard it as a private spiritual journey, too. He is advising Clarice that "behind an open door...there lies a million more." It speaks to me of the many roads to spiritual enlightenment.

I find a lot of comfort in the line "it's there, just hard to find"...because enlightenment IS hard (difficult)...but those who persevere will be sure to find it. The incredibly beautiful and dreamlike music certainly reinforces this notion of a spiritual enterprise.
