Lyrics

Take a breather and I'll explain

Encouraging a pause to explain something

It's a wager that surely wins

Describing a bet with a guaranteed victory

As you heed the call

Responding to a call or summons

of the 'be all, end all'

Referring to a decisive and final concept

With a needle and threaded pin

Using a needle and thread metaphorically

It calls your name

The mentioned concept beckons or attracts

And it kills me, too

Expressing emotional pain and distress

Now your dead friendʼs gone

Mourning the loss of a deceased friend

Now your dead friendʼs gone

Reiteration of the loss of the friend

It's a coating I need to shed

Desire to discard a protective layer

But the pain will go underfed

Anticipating that pain will not be relieved

So you freeze in your tracks

Being paralyzed or stuck in a situation

and your reasoning cracks

Mental reasoning breaking down

and the weights will hang lower than low

Heavy burdens weighing down

Your demeanor is slow

Describing a slow and gradual change in behavior

The disease will then grow

Referring to the progression of a negative influence

Underneath and underground

Things happening beneath the surface or secretly

When you scream there's not a sound

Expression of silence or lack of response when distressed

And away you go, off to ruin

Embarking on a path of self-destruction

It calls your name

Repetition of the concept calling or attracting

And it kills me, too

Reiteration of emotional distress

Now your dead friendʼs gone

Recalling the absence of the deceased friend

Now your dead friendʼs gone

Repeating the acknowledgment of the friend's absence

Blood will flow, my dear friend

Referring to the inevitability of suffering or pain

Dim the lights into perfect pitch black

Creating a dark and somber atmosphere

My conscience pulled me aside

Internal moral guidance advising against something

Don't invite yourself into that world

Cautioning against entering a particular state or condition

What surprises are still in store?

Pondering what unexpected events may unfold

What arises from in your core?

Questioning the origin of one's inner feelings

No, the demons won't talk

Anticipation of confronting personal demons

until you finally unlock

Unlocking inner struggles for communication

And away we go, off to ruin

Commencing a journey towards self-destruction

And away we go, off to ruin

Repeating the commencement of the destructive path

And away we go, off to ruin

Repeating the beginning of the self-destructive journey
