In a poignant exploration of vulnerability and connection, the collaboration between Frightened Rabbit and Julien Baker delves into the permeable nature of emotional and existential wounds. The imagery of bandages and a "bright, bright red" symbolizes the inevitable pain and scars that life imparts. The recurring motif of being "invisible lovers" reflects an intangible intimacy, where deep emotional connections transcend physical boundaries. The track suggests that, while external defenses may shield one from the world, emotional and spiritual energies find a way to penetrate, symbolized by the phrase "how it gets in." The lyrics evoke a sense of youthful fragility and the enduring impact of past experiences, hinting at the complexities of healing. Ultimately, the song conveys that true connection emerges from an acceptance of our inner vulnerabilities, transforming them into shared experiences. #EmotionalIntimacy #Vulnerability
How It Gets In
Lyrics
Bring on the bandages, pressure the wound
It's a bright, bright red that colors us in
Good for the invalids, downers, and killers
In sick, sick beds and silicone drips
Buzzing towards me
Spirit awakens
A once lived glitch
And that's how it gets in
It's how it gets in
It's how it gets in, we're invisible lovers
It's how it gets in
It's how it gets in, to invisible lovers
Cowering youngsters, elastic and covered
In feather-down hair all standing on end
Even the others' thick skin bears the evidence
Cuts so thin, how does it get in?
How does it get in?
There's a place where you live
It's how it gets in
It's how it gets in, we're invisible lovers
It's how it gets in
It's how it gets in, to invisible lovers
It's how it gets in
It's how it gets in, to invisible lovers
Opened by instruments, closed by a thread
There's a space in the stitch
