in general... it's like... a rite or a shaman's prayer, in which the singing character wants to clean herself from the victim mentality but it's kinda... too weird to describe :) i'll make a YouTube video about it :)
ta piosenka to trochę jakby rytuał... muzyczny... albo piosenka szamanki... śpiewam w niej o chęci oczyszczenia z osobowości ofiary. swoją drogą, jest to piosenka mocno dziwna, więc zrobię o niej filmik na YouTube, bo opisywanie jest ciężkie :)

lyrics:
My thoughts are swirling,
My thoughts are swirling!
Ah, let me live!
Let me have a form!
Let me try to be me!
Let me try to be here!
Let me have boundaries!
And you, universe...
[Pull out the] needles from the voodoo doll -
She no longer needs them!
Pull out the needles from the voodoo doll -
She now understands she hates them!
Pull out the needles….
From the voodoo doll!
My thoughts were swirling.
My thoughts were swirling.
Yeah, but now I can breathe!
And now it is gonna be fine.
And eventually even better,
So listen my dear cat,
The toy’s gonna face your pawn!
Hey there kitty! I’m coming for you!
[And I’ll start playing with you]
There’s nowhere else than now and here,
I will finally make friends with you dear.
I do have some wool...
And some other tool, too!
[Pull out the] needles from the voodoo doll -
She no longer needs them!
[From the voodoo doll...]
Pull out the needles from the voodoo doll -
She now understands she hates them!
[...now!]
Pull out the needles from the voodoo doll -
[Pull out the] needles from the voodoo doll -
She no longer needs them!
[from the voodoo doll...]
Pull out the needles from the voodoo doll -
She now understands she hates them!
[...now!]
Pull out the needles from the voodoo doll -
She does not think being a victim is fun, no, not anymore...
