Pre-Packaged World

Song Description

In my mind the song is about being moulded into this person society wants you to be, and not having any opportunity to be free and express your creativeness. I sort of got the inspiration from when I had a part time job in retail last year, the managers were horrible haha! To them It felt like you are just another number and not an actual human being. I guess the song refers to the 'sea' and 'water' quite a bit. I think of the water in the ocean as being free, graceful, independent... The song also refers to dreams and how you can create any life when you're asleep, but when you wake up, reality has a strict schedule that must be followed.

Pre-Packaged World Lyrics

Carry me beneath the water
Only in my sleep
When I wake up I will be
Just a girl within the see
And I'm not there
I'm not there to be pre-packaged in your world

Fit yourself In to this box
And don't allow no room
For trying things another way
It's forbidden on this scene
And I'm not there
And I'm not there to be pre-packaged In your world

Don't you want It
Don't you need It

You've got to reach out from the water
And fall, fall
Cause when the rain comes
You will lose it
All, all
I don't want it


You try to mould yourself
Into this frame you want to be
And find that you will always say
'Oh I can't escape from me'
But that's okay
I've got my own smile
Frown and laughter anyway

Don't you want it
Don't you need it

You've got to reach out from the water
And fall, fall
Cause when the rain comes
You will lose it
All, all
I don't want it

The frame portrays another picture of me...

Cause when the rain comes you will lose it
All, all
Don't you want it
And don't you need it
I don't want it...
