This years-old lyric re-awakened when I discovered something deeper in its simplistic narrative. Labyrinth is a slowly unfolding moment. Sink into it, and make Dolly’s experience yours.
Outside it’s raining and Dolly’s day-dreaming
Visions of rainbows
The world is in her hand
Darkness enfolds her
She forgets herself
And the fog fills her mind
She sleeps again
In a labyrinth
Forgotten memories thread her head’s
Loose-laced reverie
Clinging to the cobwebs in her mind
Time circles slowly as figurines twirl
Dancing to old lullabies
They try to heal her soul
Melodies pull her
She forgets herself
And the fear, it fogs her mind
She sleeps again
Chorus
In a little while she’ll wake up
to an ordinary life
filled with ordinary someone’s
but no one left alive
searching for the string of love
she wants to follow
trying to discover
which way to go
In her labyrinth
She brings a lantern to extinguish
Needless reveries
Clinging to the cobwebs in her mind
