Lyrics
Everything you want
Repetition emphasizes a desire or longing for various things.
Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything you want
-Everything I want
A shift from wanting everything to a personal declaration.
Forward, slow
Instruction to move ahead slowly.
Everything I want
Expressing personal desires again.
Forward, slow
Reiteration of the instruction to move forward slowly.
Everything I want
Continued expression of personal desires.
Black snow
Imagery of unusual "black snow" introduced.
Ebbs around my heels
Describing the unusual snow around the speaker's heels.
Forward, slow
Repetition of the instruction to move forward slowly.
Everything I want
Repetition of desires with intermittent references to the black snow.
Forward, slow
-Everything I want
-Forward, slow
-Everything I want
-Black snow
-Ebbs around my heels
-Forward, slow
Repetition of the instruction to move forward slowly.
I can feel
The speaker expressing sensations, perhaps pain or discomfort.
I can feel
-I can feel
-I can feel
-I can feel my bones splintering
-Like the front door frame of my room
-I can feel my body aging when my eyes close
-When my eyes close
-But my flesh and bones will mean nothing
-I can feel
-I can feel
-I can feel
-I can feel
-Slow, slow, slow
-Everything I was, burning slow
Reflecting on the gradual, slow burning of the speaker's past self.
Everything I was, burning slow
-Everything I was, black snow
The past self represented as "black snow" surrounding someone else's heels.
Ebbs around your heels
Reiteration of the instruction to move forward slowly.
Forward, slow
