Cradles

What it's about

The song imagines a world where adults can act and speak freely, comparing this to innocent children who have not yet learned to hide who they really are. It reflects on how grown-ups feel pressure to filter their thoughts and suppress their desires so they don't come across as rude, brash, or crazy.
