Lyrics

I've seen the eyes upon us

The speaker feels observed or scrutinized by others.

And I don't think they want us to get there

There's a sense that external forces or people might be against the speaker's progress or goals.

I have thought it through

The speaker has considered a situation thoroughly.

And now it's coming for you so shelter

Now, a consequence is imminent for someone, urging them to seek protection or safety.


All the lines that I drawn and the women I embrace

The speaker reflects on choices made (drawn lines) and relationships with women.

Are all agreed upon with the man who owns the place

All decisions and relationships seem approved or influenced by a dominant figure (the man in charge).

It's over

Indicates finality or conclusion of a situation.

It is what can even leave between you and me this truth, this toothless terror

There's a truth between two individuals that seems impossible to express or communicate due to fear.

And it stares us in the face until we break our nose against the mirror

Fear is confronting them directly until they confront their own self-deception.

Well I loved you for your madness

Originally admired someone for their unconventional behavior but now sees it as excessive or problematic.

But now it is grown out of proportions through the cracks in your throne, sister

The problems have expanded and become too significant to ignore, perhaps referring to a relationship.


The number of vice that are pointing at me are growing

Pressure or accusations against the speaker are increasing.

And this fear takes the size my father before me was showing

The fear experienced by the speaker is comparable to that exhibited by their father.

We get tempted by the lies of the whores with their eyes of crystal

They're enticed by false promises, possibly from unreliable or deceptive individuals.

And which I can read the number of paces and the joys of the blister

The speaker can decipher the intentions (paces) and pain (blister) in the actions of others.


My soul conceils alot of corners their secrets are yours

The speaker's soul holds many secrets, possibly unshared or concealed thoughts or emotions.

Well as I never dare to this sin through the doors

The speaker hasn't dared to commit a certain sin or take a particular action related to another person.

Leading to yours

There's a reference to pathways leading to someone else's secrets or intimate spaces.


All the lines that I drawn and the women I embrace

Reiterates the reflection on decisions made and relationships formed, all seemingly influenced by the dominant figure.

Are all agreed upon with the man who owns the place

Restates that all decisions and relationships seem agreed upon by the dominant figure, signaling finality.

It's over

Reaffirms a sense of conclusion or finality, possibly indicating the end of influence or control.
