Cathedrals of Dust: Unveiling the Struggle Beyond Innocence
Lyrics
How many years since I last saw you, the innocence in my closet ?
Reflecting on the passage of time since the speaker last encountered someone, possibly losing innocence.
It doesn't mean more since you are gone.
The absence of the person does not make the memories or experiences more significant.
Keep watching: I failed you at shining, I failed you at breathing, I failed you at growing alone.
Admitting failure in various aspects, expressing regret for not being supportive or positive.
Fuck your purity.
Rejecting the concept of purity, possibly in response to societal expectations or personal experiences.
You still punish me with a smile.
The person still has an impact on the speaker, causing emotional distress despite their absence.
Hundred nails on your casket and you still punish me with a smile.
Despite significant difficulties (represented by "nails on your casket"), the impact lingers, and the person still affects the speaker.
Always learn.
Encouragement to keep learning and evolving despite challenges.
On the wrong side of the beam, a bunch of rafters to unravel.
Being on the wrong side of a situation with complex issues to resolve (represented by "rafters to unravel").
The carpenters of the unseen destroying frameworks of evil.
Metaphorical carpenters are dismantling unseen frameworks of evil, possibly challenging societal norms or oppressive systems.
Always burn it all to the ground When it speaks in tongues of faith and rust.
Advocating for radical change when faced with dogma and decay.
We're cathedrals in flames, we're cathedrals of dust.
Metaphorically describing oneself as cathedrals in flames, possibly symbolizing internal struggles or personal transformation.
When I fight for myself I can fight for us.
Connecting personal growth and strength to the ability to fight for oneself and others.
You punished me with a smile.
Reiteration of the impact of the person, punishing the speaker with a smile.
I once was your slave, once your lover, once a fraud, once your mirror.
Describing different roles the speaker once played in relation to the person.
A smile to hide the insides, as if our insides had limits.
Using a smile to conceal internal struggles, suggesting a facade hiding emotional turmoil.
I'm drooling, I'm sweating, I'm pissing, I'm shitting my feelings on green carpets of love In your Eden of teeth.
Vividly describing emotional and physical distress in the context of a relationship.
It's our garden now, I see no forbidden fruit.
Claiming ownership of a shared space and dismissing the notion of forbidden elements.
It's our garden now, I see no necks under your boots.
Asserting independence and rejecting submission to authority or control.
I'll feel at home again.
Expressing a desire to find comfort and belonging again.
Millions of hands craft the gates of a world to change.
Highlighting collective efforts to create a new world, suggesting a call for societal change.
Under silver wings, angels of abandon still dancing. They dance and they'll never stop.
Describing angels of abandon as perpetual dancers, possibly symbolizing resilience and defiance against societal norms.
We'll live of all the things we don't know we ignore. The angels of abandon, they'll be waiting some more.
Embracing the unknown and suggesting a willingness to live without complete understanding.
Fight for us.
Encouraging a continued fight for a shared cause or relationship.
