Lily Lyrics

Lily was a little girl
Afraid of the big, wide world
She grew up within her castle walls
Now and then she tried to run
And then on the night with the setting sun
She went in the woods away
So afraid, all alone

They warned her, don't go...

    this may be boring but i don't care so hear it gos... lily is a little girl in a rich family and she was WAY over protected + see hated it so... see ran away to a bad place but she did not know. she met a bad man and thinks at the time that everyone is nice so she talks to him and believes every word that came from his mouth and flowed him later on she fines out that she was incorrect and did not know what to do...


    that's just my idea...

    I personally think it is about temptation. Everybody goes through it, I am a christian, and I know I go through it, but jews and atheists and every other religion or non religion goes through this too.

    Lily is a virgin girl from a very respected family with manners and maybe religious. She’s been raised up in a protective environment while her needs are been answered (like a princess living in a castle).. but she’s deluded and decided to run away from her family to live her personal life and to chase after her dreams of independence .. she ran to an unknown world (like a mysterious forest).. then met a guy who wanted to take her virginity in exchange to fulfill her dreams.. eventually, she discovered that he is a wolf (or even worse) who wants to manipulate her and only cares about his own desires.. she tried to escape from him and go back to her family but it’s too late.

    It means what it means. A creature that wants to possess her. An evil spirit living in the woods. Why is everyone thinking so much. Now give me the votes and let me in

    In my opinion it is about illuminati or something related to it because of its lyrics as "give you everything you've been dreaming of" or"just let me in" it means illuminati wants lily to become their member and then they would control her
    Idk it's just my opinion it can also mean that the dark creature is the world itself and all the fake and cruel people who are very deceitful and cunning they tries to manipulate and use you....

    This is the ACTUAL interpretation, Its about lily, and an abusive man she starts dating. He promises her life will be great with them, he’ll give her the safe and successful life she’s always dreamed off. People notice it before she does and they try to warn her but she doesn’t listen. Then the abuse grows to physical stuff and she “wakes again” and realizes she needs to get TF outta there. But as we all know its really hard to just bounce out, she tries to get people to help but no one will listen. Even though she tries to leave he keeps convincing her to stay and she does. And the cycle goes on, song is about a girl who cant get out of an abusive relationship

    I'm not sure what I'm going to tell you guys, I know that not everyone agree with me. As you see, firstly this song talk about Lily. She's not a princess or something that royalty. She is us, must be weird but it just my guess. I'm Muslim so I believe this song talk about what will happen when this world will crushed. There's no faith in us anymore, we believe in anything that can make we safe. As you know there's lyric "she knew she was hypnotize", it show that us will goes for that creature only to safe. When Lily ask for help, that's mean we knew that what we should do but we lost hope and still believe in that creature. We knew that creature only tells lies but still lost in his story, trust him. It's not weird that we follow the creature cause there's hadis and al-Quran has showed everything. We knew it but still follow it. It's because only the real Muslim who will know that's a lie or not. This creature will give you everything you need but he will take you to hell. This creature will tell you guys that he is the god. There's a word on his forehead كافر.
    For my first thought I think it was about illuminati but I think there's a little bit about illuminati in this song.
    I'm sorry for others region. I'm not trying to be rude or what. It just my guess so sorry.

    To me it sounds like a girl struggling with an eating disorder.

    I believe it was about a girl (Lilly) who was Sheltered as a child. She takes every chance she can to see the real world, hence the lyric “Now and them she tried to run.” But one day she Sneaks out. She meets a man (the “creature”) who promises her something like fame or fortune but there is a catch, Hence the lyric “Just let me in.”. Not knowing the terrible things people do, she assumed things would be fine. She then realizes what she gave away in the deal ,hence the lyric “but then it broke and she woke again” realizing what this man was doing she wants to leave but is trapped with a contract. She try's to make people see her and notice whats happening, Hence the lyric “Come get me” . She escapes and try’s to run back to her home but is caught by the man again. He's trying to convince her to come back and sign and contract , Hence the lyric “You’ll be safe under my control.”. She try's to warn people but they don't believe her. The man captures her again. But this time she cant escape.

    This may not be correct , for it is only what I think.

    I think it is about a little girl obviously named Lilly, she wanted more than she had. Guessing she lived in a castle. She went to the woods to escape everything surrounding her but the people that live within her walls told her not to go because there are creatures. But I think the people she surrounds herself with in the castle are the monsters saying there are monsters out there so just let me in, I’ll be with you. She doesn’t realize until it’s too late and she is becoming like them. She doesn’t want to realizing the monsters are her. Them saying follow everywhere I go I can give you everything is the monsters saying your staying because everything you want is here. It could also mean the monsters living within her but she thinks it’s everybody around her. Like depression and anxiety. I have both and you always feel like a monster. But you blame it on other people sometimes. You create your own monsters that hurt you. Like people have imaginary friends but it becomes a monster and you see it over and over and tells you stuff that’s why you hurt yourself. I think that could also be part of it. But lol it could also be her telling us the truth. But that’s what I think. I don’t think the monsters are out there, it’s the monsters that you trust the most. Of course there are monsters out in the world, but the bigger monsters are the people you want the most.

    I was scared of the world,but my parents didnt pay any attention to me. I tried to run but it didnt work. One day I ran into the woods and I got lost hoping that my parents would come get me. They didnt. I got afraid and i was so alone. My family tried to warn me but i didnt listen. This "creature" came to me and told me i would get everything i wanted. So I "let him in". I realized he tried to manipulate me in the woods so I ran...again. I cried for help but no one came. He found me a tried to manipulate me again. He kept doing it and I kept running but he kept following me. I'm writing this for the woods. Please come help me.By the way...I'm Lilith a.k.a....Lily.

    This is about the snake name lily, (lilith). The one who hypnotize people what they dreaming of such money, fame and etc. She is the first demon. She needs to hypnotized them in order to have power.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    i think it talks about drug. and what it brings, i dont know though but it seems like talking about it. everyone told u not to use it, because there is something "hiding" on the darkside of the effects. people always say that using drug will give you everything, u've been dreaming of, like the lyrics told. but when u finally "awake" from the effect, u will scream and want to escape, but u cant.
