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...

    IT is about drugs.. drug addiction.. how drugs like heroin seduce you because you get addicted so fast and it feels so good. In the song she realizes she is addicted and tries to reach out for help... but the addiction keeps coming back and in the end it seems like she still keeps fighting it. I mean clearly it is about drugs atleast for me because its RELATEABLE but like just analyze the lyrics and you´ll get it.

    I think lily is a young girl. She wants to know about the world outside her castle. And when she left she met the creatures well creatures can be everything. But she knew she was hypnotized in that woods and then she ran need for a help. I know my theory is so unlogic but nothing is impossible. This song is just like us who curious about the world and then we follow the wrong way. Then we realized we're wrong and then try to find the right way, no matter what would happened just find the right way and follow it.

    I think this song tells about us.we live in a world what tought things good and bad and our minds prisoned to them.but we are curious to know what is and whats feel like.like as testing drugs but when we realize with experience we feel unsafe and needed to go back.

    I think lily are princess or something that life in castle. She afraid of the world but she wanna see the world. She run away from the castle. And she saw a 'creature'. Its meaning of a demon or devils. Im Muslim so I can say its D A J J A L. The Creature is evill but lily doesn't saw it (evil). After that, lily realize that she was hypnotized. She want go out of there but cannot.. So that's only . its not hated OK?

    I believe that Lily is a girl who was scared of the world because of all the secrets it holds. The anger that resides in the world. But one day she left the walls of her home and protection. She ran away and ended up in a place she was warned to stay away from. She cautiously crept through the place, but a great power arose in her. It told her of it let her control hwr then she would have everything she wants. Lily kept running from the power and refused to let it control her. She had a power that was able to destroy the world. The power kept urging her to let him in, but Lily pushed the power down inside her. Thinks of it like the Amulet comics. Lily has this power so powerful it tries to take over her and she has to male sire that doesn't happen. No matter what it promises her...

    I think it's about a girl who is heavily sheltered by her parents (Castle Walls meaning not allowed to leave the house) and she wants freedom so she runs away and ends up going in the one place she was warned against. Then a demon offers her a happy, perfect, fairytale like life only if she lets it in (demonic possession) "She knew she was hypnotized
    And walking on cold thin ice
    Then it broke, and she awoke again" Like she has figured out that the demon is trying to possess her and she snaps out of it and as she realizes what it is, she tries running while yelling out for help.

    i believe that there is a hidden meaning to this song. just that it is not obvious. To me, this song clearly say something about our loss to something we should not go with. Talking about the lyrics, in a religion perspective, I think this song is trying to say what this creature or the Dajal in the end of the world will control us and convince us to follow him through his deception and in the song too the girl representing us humans, aware that we are into something wrong but we can let it go due to the control by them which bring us closer to the pit hole. So either this song is trying to warn people or the Dajal, the creature that will conquer the world as a test to humans faith in god. or to promote him to the world.

    I think Lily is a Princess that doesn't like being in her castle all the time with overprotective royal parents one night maybe she hated it so much, she left for good, her parents, servants, maids, told that the "orest had something lonely and evil in there, when she left she realized she was soon lost, cold, and lonely, then this creature (like a possesed human/wolf I guess?) offered her help and guidance "Just let me in" is the creature telling Lily to trust it, but eventually the creature was becoming borderline creepy or possesive and she didn't like this forest place anyways, and the monster gave her something to eat thats when the line "Lily know she was hypnotized" probably came from then she realized she trusted the wrong thing, she tries to escape the the monster knows this and lock her up in like a demonical realm or something, so no matter how loud she yells for help, nobody will find her. Or the second possiblity she becomes possessed by this entity spirit monster thing to do the same to other people who enters "the forest". P.S, Lily reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood.

    I think this is somewhere connected to being an illuminati because Lily gave her life to the creature and the creature promised that it will give all the things that she want. Then Lily realized that she made a bad decision that she gave her life to that creature and now she was crying for help but no one can hear it.

    P.S: just a Theory

    This song is about alternate universe where princess Jasmine, instead of meeting aladdin on the day she sneak out, she met disguised JAFAR. And he is a pedopile, who then locked her up

    The ancient word"Lilith" derives from a Sumerian word for female demons or wind spirit- the lilītu and the related ardat lilî.(just research the other facts abouts who is Lily) in my opinion the song Lily is an Illuminati song convincing us to be used or be possessed by them."everything you been wanting gonna be the magical story you've been told
    And you'll be safe under my control
    Just let me in, ooh" and in return it promised you to give everything you dreamed of or desired just let them control you.well, that's how I understand the song.but I love Alan Walker's songs.no hate guys just love.

    Lily, the young princess never knew the world. But she always wanted to escape, (now and then she tried to run) and one day, she ran away. At night of that same day, she wanted to go back, and a boy her age 12-13ish (the creature)trapped her and told her: I will let you out if you promise to let me in (I’ll let you go, but you’ll have to let me into the castle, meaning I’ll be your prince...) She accepts, only to realize that was a terrible decision....

    I believe Lily is a girl who is afraid and never knew what the world was like. When she went to the woods she met someone (opposite self) who was like her but dangerous. Because Lily had no friends she trusted her opposite. Many times her opposite manipulated her, soon her opposite hurt her and that's (i believe) why she tried to run, but every time she tried her opposite kept her from leaving. As time passed she stopped running and "let in" her opposite who i'm guessing once she was let in, she promised she would take Lily anywhere as a reward. -P.S- This is my interpretation.
