Claws in Your Back Lyrics

Collecting the circles that tell us
How old we are beneath our eyelids
Wearing a purple badge to prove what I did
Pump the vitals out of my wrist
'Cause I'm conducting an experiment on how it feels to die
Or stay alive

So try to stay calm, 'cause nobody knows
The violent partner you carry around
With claws in your back, ripping your clothes
And listing your failures out loud
It's more than the skeleton next to my coat
The black that I held in the back of my throat
Follows you straight into the dark;
The easy way out and the hardest part
When it won't leave me alone
I'm better off learning
How to be
Living with demons I've
Mistaken for saints
If you keep it between us
I think they're the same
I think I can love
The sickness you made
'Cause I take it all back, I change my mind
I wanted to stay
I wanted to stay

What is the Meaning of Claws in Your Back?

Ever felt like your inner demons could use a vacation? 😈 Well, Julien Baker might be right there with you. This hauntingly poetic track dives deep into the struggle of living with one's own darkest thoughts. She paints a vivid picture of battling invisible monsters while trying to stay calm, even as these hidden foes list your failures like a bad karaoke night. Seeing her 'demons' as mistaken saints, Baker is caught in a morbid love affair with her own miseries, suggesting a macabre acceptance. It's like she's decided that if you can't beat them, you might as well learn their dance moves. 👣 In the end, it's clear she wants to stick around, flaws and all, giving a whole new meaning to relationship goals!
