Periphery Lyrics

I have very little idea what this song could mean but that's part of why its awesome.

Great lyrics so far... I am hearing "but not with me" instead of "go now, with me". And "Buy themselves their own plot of land". And even though "stay away" makes sense at the end I hear... "Oh, the periphery.. stole you away."

This albums raw.

A periphery is like a suburb/small town or something. So I think she's talking about a guy who left her and chose to go to the suburbs and start a family, etc.

Great song. :)
