Ouija Board Lyrics

Cover art for Ouija Board lyrics by Chevelle

At first I thought this was a relationship song, but it sounds like this is more about internal conflicts. "Self explore your egoism, Pulling out that Ouija board" could be about taking a step back and reviewing yourself and what you've become as well as looking things from the past that still haunt you. "Right or wrong if the world explodes, Well you and I are one" is what makes me think this is about a person who has two sides to themselves. These two lines seem to mean that in the end we will die as one person. Also the lines, "Come along here's a seed of truth, 'Cause you and I are one" show that it is a singular person who is having internal conflict. The recurring line "we're growing a fire" explains how this cognitive dissonance is creating anger and even maybe a lack of self worth. This would explain the lyrics: "You're the salt of the earth left uneasy," which basically means that what makes this person meaningful is wavering. This is also seen in "How could you show them your weakness," as he is asking himself how his confidence is disappearing.

That's just the way I saw it. Great song though!!
