Wrapped in Piano Strings Lyrics

I saw your father in the hall
His ghost is living in the walls
I heard him crying while you slept
I heard him breaking things after you left

I watched you crawl into my bed
With curses spilling from your head
You said "We're just the walking dead"
So I pulled the trigger and we floated off

Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Up in the air
We're in the air
Up in the air
Up in the air

I used to worry about the time
But I lost my teeth along the line
So I carved the apple from my eye
And gave it to you before I went away

Blood ran into the kitchen sink
Your hand and lives are running pink
I sat and watched you as your ring
Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor

They cut your eyes wide open
And pour into your precious head
My reach don't go that far dear
But please oh please don't let them in

I sank into the sea
Wrapped in piano strings
Few words could open me
But you knew them all

Now I just sleep beneath your floor
My ghost just tries to keep you warm
I've seen the end, I've lost the war
One day you'll join me here just like the rest

I hear the engines
They're roaring in our mouths
The smell of creatures
Are falling tooth and nail to get out

I see the airplanes
They're pouring from the chest
They fill the air
And burn and bury just like the rest

What is the Meaning of Wrapped in Piano Strings?

Sometimes the ghosts of past relationships continue to haunt us long after they're over. This haunting song explores themes of loss, mental health struggles, and the lingering presence of memories through vivid metaphorical imagery. The narrator appears to be a spirit or memory watching over someone dealing with emotional trauma, possibly related to family issues and a difficult relationship. The recurring motifs of floating, air, and piano strings suggest both an ethereal quality and the way music can bind us to our memories. The imagery of blood, broken things, and decay throughout the song points to emotional wounds that haven't properly healed. Ultimately, it's a poignant reflection on how our past experiences and relationships continue to influence us, even when we try to move forward.
