Clan of Kerr
Eternal Transformation: Clan of Kerr's Enigmatic Tale
Lyrics
You hang lifelessly atop this murky lake
You are lifeless, suspended on the surface of a murky lake.
Slowly being washed over by January water
Gradually covered by January water, symbolizing change.
Drowning the dead as our past regressions are laid to rest
Symbolic drowning of the past mistakes, letting go of regrets.
Everything you were: reduced to ash
Your entire identity is reduced to ashes.
Taking space in this velvet pouch
Remnants stored in a velvet pouch, possibly memories or remnants of self.
Ceremoniously released, to help this selfish mortal toil
Ceremoniously released to aid the struggles of a selfish mortal life.
Forced to continue moving, as the currents take you
Compelled to move with the currents and be consumed by the inevitable flow of time.
And the fish consume you
Metaphorical consumption by fish, possibly representing nature's cycle.
Forced to become something you have no control over
Forced transformation into something beyond personal control.
Reworked into human condition
Transformation into a state reflecting the human condition.
No reward for your servitude, unjust rebirth
No reward for servitude, highlighting the unjust nature of rebirth.
Selfish as mortal creation
Human creation is portrayed as selfish in its essence.
Plagued by man's conditioning to honor their dead
Struggling with societal conditioning to honor the deceased.
You keep moving, not who you were, but what you are now
Continued movement, emphasizing adaptation to the present identity.
Time falls apart, around you
Time disintegrates around the individual, depicting a sense of chaos.
Loose sands in a liquid hourglass
Time is depicted as loose sands in a liquid hourglass, highlighting instability.
Ash becoming mud
Ash transforms into mud, symbolizing degradation.
Your memory a murky sediment, in distant river beds
Memories become sediment in distant river beds, representing the fading past.
Aging again, as if you haven't endured enough
Aging again, indicating the cyclical nature of time and experiences.
Becoming lye and holding on as your existence gets washed over
Transforming into lye, holding on despite being washed over, symbolizing resilience.
You were never pure enough to cleanse this loss
Purity was never enough to cleanse the loss, suggesting inherent imperfection.
Irony becoming an acceptable consequence of birth
Irony is an accepted consequence of birth, acknowledging the paradoxes of existence.
It was always in your nature, dormant in our name
Nature of wallowing and swamp dwelling inherent in the Clan of Kerr.
Wallower, swamp dweller. Clan of Kerr
Identifying with the Clan of Kerr, associated with wallowing and swamp dwelling.
