Jolene Lyrics by Spektral Quartet, Julia Holter

Behind the Wallpaper

2023

[Verse 1]
Cut to the interior
Of a spacious modern house
Open plan, open windows
White walls, wooden furniture
Moss green shutters
[Chorus 1]
A breeze from outside
Translucent curtains
The smell of conifers and summer rain
[Verse 2]
The two of you are lying in a bed
Covered with soil and dried leaves
The room is filled with light
You're sleeping peacefully
The wind scattering your auburn hair
[Pre-Chorus]
But she's been awake for hours
The house is changing
[Chorus 2]
She is terrified
But you've never felt more at ease
Everything is so familiar
The new ballroom
The new fourth floor
The new iron staircase
[Bridge]
Last night, looking for the bathroom
She walked into a wall that wasn't there the night before
And broke her nose
Last week, she tried to leave
But she couldn't find the way back to town
Dirt roads endlessly branching (Dirt roads endlessly branching)
[Verse 3]
Now she says you've been talking in your sleep
But she won't say what she heard
She's begging you to stop
Before there's nothing of the old house left
[Chorus 3]
But it's too late
It's out of your hands now
