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
