   This is an interpretation of the lovely, imaginative lyrics to Coco's song...
   I think this song is about being in unknown territory, wheather it is literally in a land where you don't belong or in a new and overwhelming relationship. It also is bout being yourself under people who critisize you and ignoring what they say. It's about getting caught up in bad things and also contains hints of drug use...
   
   
   "You may point with the crooked cane
   You conspire on my broken brain"
   
   The someone is critisizing them (media etc.)They "point" out your flaws with the "crooked cane" like a professor pointing out something on a blackboard.
   
   "And playwright fate will have his way
   We're all actors in this play
   We're all passengers on his train
   And playwright fate don't make me stay"
   
   The Playwright is someone who controls and manipulates and you feel like an "actor" and not yourself around him
   
   "And soon enough the brakes won't take the weight
   That is depending, and it's the strain on my left arm takes
   I'm just hoping for a happy ending"
   The person singing is losing control and "strain on my left arm takes" is drug use used as an escape from reality and critisizm.
   
   So long, sir
   You're in a land where you don't belong
   Just keep kissing through the kissing song
   You're in a land where you don't belong
   
   "So, so long friends
   So long family"
   The singer leaves home and familiar places to go find herself
   "The letters were sent
   I'm gonna die here beautifully"
   She has found a place where she's comfortable
   
   "Now the housecat's on his seventh life
   He said his goodbyes to his beautiful wife
   He said he's going to a land where mice grow on trees
   He said he's going to a place where beasts like us roam free
   He said come with me
   We're gonna die here gracefully"
   The singer wants to go to a better place, where she can be herself
   
   
   "We're in a land where we don't belong
   Just keep kissing through the kissing song
   We're in a land where we don't belong
   
   You see there's clearly something wrong
   Just keep kissing through the kissing song
   We're in a land where we don't belong"¨
   The singer acknowledges there's something wrong with her
   
   "Get out of this place
   Inhabitants of the children with the cheap cocaine(!)
   And the playwright fate will have his way"
   
   'Cause we are as brittle as biscuits
   Sarcastic, the English are bright"
   "We are as brittle as buiscuits" we are vulnerable an breakable
   
   "We're in a land where we don't belong
   Just keep kissing through the kissing song
   We're in a land where we don't belong
   
   You see there's clearly something wrong
   Just keep kissing through the kissing song
   We're in a land where we don't belong"
