THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
I would like the feeling
I would like the feeling
I would like the feeling gone
'Cause I don't like the way it's—
I don't like the way it's—
I don't like the way it's looking
I get caught looking
In the mirror on the regular
What I see there resembles some competitor
I see things behind things behind things
And there are rings within rings within rings
[Verse 2]
I can't go through the motions
I can't go through the motions
How'm I supposed to do this now?
Say we went out strolling
Say we went out strolling
Say I went and told them how
I am afraid of changing
And when it comes a time to check and rearrange shit
There are things behind things behind things
And there are rings within rings within rings
[Outro]
I got caught compiling
I got caught compiling
I got caught compiling my own news
I never lose
And who's the benefactor?
And how to move without touching every interactor
When there are things behind things behind things
(A little further)
And there are rings within rings within rings
[Verse 1]
In this section, Justin Vernon reflects on feelings he wishes to escape. He repeatedly expresses a desire to be free from a certain emotional state, which he finds overwhelming and distasteful. The "mirror" symbolizes self-reflection, as Vernon looks at himself and sees not just his own reflection but the image of a competitor, indicating a sense of rivalry or dissatisfaction with what he has become. The phrase "things behind things behind things" suggests that there are layers to his emotions and thoughts, which are complex and difficult to unravel. The "rings within rings" amplify this idea of endless loops or cycles of self-reflection.
[Verse 2]
Here, Vernon expresses his inability to go through life passively or without emotional engagement. He questions how he can continue to function when he is afraid of change, highlighting a deep fear of transformation. The metaphor of "things behind things" reappears, emphasizing that beneath every surface, there are deeper issues to be confronted. This verse continues the theme of cyclical thoughts and the challenge of addressing the underlying emotions that govern his actions.
[Outro]
The outro expands on the themes of introspection, with Vernon admitting to being caught in the act of "compiling" his own narrative or perception of reality. He questions who benefits from his actions and how he can navigate life without being affected by everyone he interacts with. The recurring phrases "things behind things" and "rings within rings" once again emphasize the layered nature of perception and reality, pointing to the complexity of human interactions and emotions.
