Pinocchio
Ahof • From “The Passage”
Pinocchio Lyrics Meaning Ahof | The Passage
Lyricist AMINAE writes ‘Hug me just once / Even in the middle of lies, I have to smile.’ The lines capture the painful conflict between showing love and revealing truth. The protagonist fears being honest might lose the person they care about. The reference to Pinocchio’s growing nose symbolizes the burden of lies.
