| its about ageing i think, some girl has died and has lost her innocence and someone wants to return to their childhood and resist change"please take me back to my healing home, please take me back to my toy box" toy box just symbolising childhood. but i have no clue about the girl i think it is topical lyrics that u would need to ask chris about. | |

| The music is so haunting and the lyrics are pretty creepy as well. I think its just about a girl who is dead and wants to return to her childhood. | |

| what a fucking impressive song. not talking about the lyrics, just... listen to it. It's so - sabbath? Well, if black sabbath had the luck of having chris on vocals. I need to get a live version. For what people say, Hiro used to sing it... | |
