I awake to find no peace of mind
I said how do you live as a fugitive
Down here where I cannot see so clear
I said, what do I know
Show me the right way to go
And the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
You can't touch them no, 'cause they're all spies
They're all spies
I awake to see that no one is free
We're all fugitives
Look at the way we live
Down here, I cannot sleep from fear no
I said, which way do I turn
Oh I forget everything I learn
But the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
The spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them no
'Cause they're all spies
They're all spies
And if we all hide here
They're going to find us
If we don't hide now
They're going to catch us where we sleep
And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us
And spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so good 'cause you know
Though spies hide out in every corner
They can't touch you no
'Cause they're just spies
They're just spies
I said how do you live as a fugitive
Down here where I cannot see so clear
I said, what do I know
Show me the right way to go
And the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
You can't touch them no, 'cause they're all spies
They're all spies
I awake to see that no one is free
We're all fugitives
Look at the way we live
Down here, I cannot sleep from fear no
I said, which way do I turn
Oh I forget everything I learn
But the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know
The spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them no
'Cause they're all spies
They're all spies
And if we all hide here
They're going to find us
If we don't hide now
They're going to catch us where we sleep
And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us
And spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so good 'cause you know
Though spies hide out in every corner
They can't touch you no
'Cause they're just spies
They're just spies

However wen i listen to this song, i think about my life for the last 5 years, n how i have been hiding, how my family has left me alone in this world, disowned me, how my ex husband and ex boyfriend constantly stalked me......How i had noone, how i felt scared of wot they cud all do to me. How i never went out, i was under police protection, had to move towns. I felt watched all the time... Its paranoia yes. This song is abt paranioa and fear that we fall prey to, and how this makes u insecure ....... how to fight it, n live ur life with those fears, that have been there the whole time......

So, I just have to say first of all, that this song is GORGEOUS!!! So haunting.
Also, I think this song alludes to Orwell's 1984, or even just the eerie ways of some totalitarian and / or communist governments. You know, not being able to live life without fear and constantly having your actions monitered by 'spies'.
Again, beautiful beautiful song.
