Green Night
Metamorphosis in Green Night: Unveiling the Beast Within
Lyrics
Don't be afraid
Encouragement not to fear
I'm not a man
Identity as something other than a typical man
I wear this skin
Wearing a human exterior by choice
Because I can
Exercising the ability to wear human skin
What do you see
Questioning perception
What beast am I
Reflection on one's own beastly nature
Unknown is known
The familiar is also mysterious
In this green night
Reference to a mysterious, transformative night
Burning stars
Imagery of burning stars
My season's door
Symbolic door of personal change
Which sky were you looking for
Questioning the chosen path or destination
First I'll change
Commitment to self-improvement
All in your bed
Transformative action in an intimate setting
A canticle
A song of praise or worship expressed with fear
I sing in dread
Reiteration of singing in fear
I sing in dread
Repeating the fear-laden singing
In silken sheets
Transformation in luxurious surroundings
Change to a bear
Further transformation into a bear
In sodden ecstasy
Intense pleasure in the bear form
Change to a wolf
Shifting into the form of a wolf
Hold me pinned
Being held in place while in the wolf form
The danger lies
Acknowledging internal danger
Here within
Danger residing within oneself
The sign is made
Confirmation of a significant event
The mark will stay
The lasting impact of a symbolic mark
What beast are you
Questioning the nature of another
To howl away
Expressing the desire to howl like a beast
To howl away
Repeating the desire to howl
Now claw it out
Encouragement to express oneself fiercely
The lump of coal
Symbolic reference to valuable knowledge
Spill the knowledge
Revealing stolen knowledge
That you stole
Metaphor for being bound to the ethereal
Chained to cloud
Night as a sharp instrument
Knife of moon
The danger of certainty, likened to a moonlit knife
The honeybee's
The perilous fate of a honeybee
Certain doom
A predetermined and inevitable demise
Honey thick
Describing a thick, rich sweetness
A drop a drop
Emphasizing the gradual nature of a liquid
But could you drink
Pondering the capacity for endless consumption
And never stop
Contemplating the consequences of uncontrolled indulgence
And does it burn
Questioning the impact of intense emotion
My love do I
Pondering the effect of passionate love
Burn at the throat
The burning sensation associated with intense emotions
Burn at the thigh
The burning sensation in a specific part of the body
