Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
I twist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realise that it was you who held me under

Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more crawling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
All around the world was waking, I never could go back
Cos all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open
And finally it seemed that the spell was broken

And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more crawling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards
Someone's slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up the circuitboard

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more crawling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards
Someone's slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards
Someone's slipping through the hidden door

Personally I think this is Florence's BEST SONG EVER. I think she does her best with the creepy-beautiful-Gothic stuff, and it doesn't get more than this...

<3<3<3

I like thinking this music as an adaptation of the story of Snow White, but with a darker enf. With reference to Genesis, the fruit that poison the princess frees her from her ignorance, the relationship he had with his stepmother - as well as others when remained in her father`s castle - was false, her life was like a dream from the beginning, the luxury plus disaffection, although the prince would prove the opposite, he does not come and what remains are bones and awareness of a wasted life.

Gosto de fazer a adaptação da música com a história da Branca de Neve, mas com um fim mais sombrio. Com referëncia ao Gênesis, a fruta liberta a princesa da ignorância, a relação que tinha com sua madrasta - bem como com outros que a cercavam quando permanecia no castelo do pai - era falsa, sua vida era como um sonho desde o principio, o luxo aliado ao desafeto, sendo o princípe aquele que provaria o contrario; mas ele não vem e o que resta são ossos e a consciência de uma vida desperdiçada.

@GhastlyGnome On the contrary, I think it can always get better. When you're an artist, you spread in eternity ;)
