How it delighted
Born so black and cold
And tired
Like yours
Like yours
How it delighted us
Hands over hand
Like a lion
Like a lion
Still watching the world go down
Still watching it all go around
And the time stands still
Until now
And it all stands still
Somehow you thought it never would
Born so black and cold
And tired
Like yours
Like yours
How it delighted us
Hands over hand
Like a lion
Like a lion
Still watching the world go down
Still watching it all go around
And the time stands still
Until now
And it all stands still
Somehow you thought it never would

My immediate thought upon reading the title was Machiavelli's belief, "Like a lion, like a fox." But the lyrics don't seem to fit that so well. The only direct correlation is the "hands over hands" line.
The lyrics make me think of a baby being born and the way time stops as one realizes that new life has just been brought into the world. Although I'm not sure why the baby would be "black and cold," unless there were complications and the baby died.
Which would make sense, seeing as the beeping towards the end reminds me of a heart rate machine after someone has died, due to the time in between beeps.
everything draws to a close, methinks. this is a nice way to put it.
Not sure about the meaning, though.
and awesome.
