Cover art for Ending Start lyrics by Metric

i think she describes metric's relationship with record labels. once you're in theres no way out and you dont have an opinion. "When you try to see, we'll watch you When you try to leave, we'll keep you When you should be dreaming, we'll wake you But don't scream, we'll make you swallow your words" kind of like monsters i guess.
