Dressed up in your outsides,
Inside you’re in nighttime,
Everywhere is frightening
There’s something you are needing to find,
The pressure is pressing you down
That raging monster pulling you around
It wants to rip our skins apart
Tear out the strings connected to our hearts
Our hearts, our hearts,
Evil glare under her eyelids
Rudely wears us on her mouth
Trembling when we see her
Run and hide, she’s coming around to
Tear out the strings (x3)
Connected to our heart
Tear out the strings (x3)
Connected to our heart, our hearts, our hearts,
Our hearts,
You were in the way of yourself, crowded you in, dark clouds hung around, in the hope of a home,
Your body grew wider, your movements slowed down, delusions of dying made sense in your head,
The hair grew in thick,
Your talons reached in,
The venom fought hard,
To poison our hearts,
Delusions of dying made sense in your head,
But you're better than that, you're better than that
Tear out, tear out.
The way we’re made protects us
The bones, the muscles shelter
But it’s our blood that mends us
It’s our blood that mends us
(x2)
Inside you’re in nighttime,
Everywhere is frightening
There’s something you are needing to find,
The pressure is pressing you down
That raging monster pulling you around
It wants to rip our skins apart
Tear out the strings connected to our hearts
Our hearts, our hearts,
Evil glare under her eyelids
Rudely wears us on her mouth
Trembling when we see her
Run and hide, she’s coming around to
Tear out the strings (x3)
Connected to our heart
Tear out the strings (x3)
Connected to our heart, our hearts, our hearts,
Our hearts,
You were in the way of yourself, crowded you in, dark clouds hung around, in the hope of a home,
Your body grew wider, your movements slowed down, delusions of dying made sense in your head,
The hair grew in thick,
Your talons reached in,
The venom fought hard,
To poison our hearts,
Delusions of dying made sense in your head,
But you're better than that, you're better than that
Tear out, tear out.
The way we’re made protects us
The bones, the muscles shelter
But it’s our blood that mends us
It’s our blood that mends us
(x2)

The connected hearts are those of the child and the adult. Growing up threatens to rip the connection apart. The protaganist wants to flee it (run and hide, she's coming around), but obviously can't escape it. She struggles with it (the venom fought hard to poison our hearts), becoming depressed (delusions of dying). Ultimately, though, she resolves it -- realizing that growing up isn't as bad a thing as she feared. It just a necessary part of our life's cycle. The monster that scared her so much is ultimately seen in a different, and positive, light. Blood, which is normally associated with death and injury, is seen as renewing life force instead of as destructive force (It's our blood that mends us). This obviously ties up the menstruation angle. The final stanza is hopeful and upbeat.
Really good song.
The ------ line is actually "The hair grew in thick"
What follows is this:
The hair grew in thick,
Your talons reached in,
The venom fought hard,
To poison our hearts,
Delusions of dying made sense in your head,
But you're better than that, you're better than that
So maybe the strings she's tearing out are literally the life source, the veins, and she's the monster?
thank you sooo much for posting them :D
