Shelled and Cooked Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lucy waits like she’s got rocks inside her belly
It helps her to wait when waiting’s necessary
Lucy stays like she’s surrounded by an army
You keep her loss locked in the last
[Chorus]
Place she looks, then there it was
In the dream I had, I had you shelled and cooked
But it’s the way, when Lucy says
„We’d rather close the shutters, roll the blinds
Than admit that we’re all running out of time“
[Verse 2]
Lucy says that the bleeding in your belly
Is caused by rooks tryna break your-
[Chorus]
Spirit lost, then there it was
In the dream I had, I had you shelled and cooked
But it’s the way, when Lucy says
„We’d rather close the shutters, roll the blinds
Than admit that we’re all running out of time“
Shelled and Cooked Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1: Lucy waits like she’s got rocks inside her belly]
In this opening verse, Panchiko introduces Lucy, who is described as waiting with a heavy burden (“rocks inside her belly”), symbolizing the emotional weight she carries. The phrase “it helps her to wait when waiting’s necessary” suggests that Lucy finds some comfort in the act of waiting, perhaps because it allows her to avoid confronting the painful truths within. The verse also introduces the sense of emotional isolation, with Lucy “surrounded by an army,” possibly representing her mental defenses or walls she has built to protect herself from feeling vulnerable. The protagonist also references Lucy’s inability to let go of loss, indicating that she is still emotionally trapped in the past.
[Chorus: Place she looks, then there it was]
The chorus delves deeper into the dream-like imagery, where the protagonist reveals a vision of the person they care about being “shelled and cooked.” This imagery could symbolize a feeling of emotional depletion, as if the person has been overexposed or damaged in some way. The line “We’d rather close the shutters, roll the blinds / Than admit that we’re all running out of time” reflects Lucy’s (and possibly the protagonist’s) tendency to avoid facing the truth, choosing instead to shut out the world and delay confronting the inevitable passage of time and its consequences.
[Verse 2: Lucy says that the bleeding in your belly]
In this verse, the metaphor of “bleeding in your belly” continues to evoke a sense of inner turmoil and physical manifestation of emotional pain. The image of “rooks trying to break your-” suggests an external force trying to disturb or invade the person’s emotional state, but the verse cuts off, leaving the nature of this disturbance unresolved. This unfinished line further heightens the sense of unease and uncertainty, suggesting that the conflict remains unresolved or hidden from view.
[Chorus: Spirit lost, then there it was]
The repeated chorus emphasizes the haunting vision of having someone “shelled and cooked,” reinforcing the theme of emotional vulnerability and the toll that avoidance and internal conflict can take. The line “We’d rather close the shutters, roll the blinds” is repeated, signifying the desire to protect oneself from the harsh reality of time slipping away and the fear of confronting deep emotional wounds.
