Pristine
Eternal Flames and Shining Desires
Lyrics
Everybodyu0027s dead in the future (get it on)
Reflecting on a future where everyone is deceased.
Thereu0027s no point in meeting you there (pretty one)
Expressing the futility of meeting someone in that future.
But if you get to the other side pristine (get it on)
If one reaches the afterlife in an unspoiled state, the speaker would gaze endlessly.
Then I would sit and endlessly stare (pretty one)
Imagining sitting and staring if the other person remains pristine on the other side.
Let it out
Encouraging emotional release.
Come on in
Inviting someone to come in.
Hold it down
Advising to hold emotions down.
Lift it up
Suggesting lifting up emotions.
And take it all away, Make it go away my dear
Desire for the removal of negative emotions or situations.
Cut the heads of the emperors
Symbolic imagery of overthrowing authority figures.
And take it all away
Reiteration of the desire to eliminate negativity.
Take it all away, make it go away my dear
Expressing the wish to make problems disappear.
And i`ll bow down
Willingness to submit or surrender.
I still feel the desire (get it on)
Acknowledging persistent desire.
Burning up through the flesh (pretty one)
Intensity of desire burning through the speaker's being.
If your house is on fire (get it on)
Metaphorically questioning one's reaction in a crisis.
Do you stand still in the flames? (pretty one)
Asking if one stays composed in the face of adversity.
Let it out
Encouraging emotional release (repeated).
Come on in
Invitation to come in (repeated).
Hold it down
Advice to hold emotions down (repeated).
Lift it up
Suggesting lifting up emotions (repeated).
And take it all away, Make it go away my dear
Desire for removal of negativity (repeated).
Wake the giants from the ashes
Awakening powerful forces from a dormant state.
And take it all away
Reiteration of the desire to eliminate negativity (repeated).
Take it all away, make it go away my dear
Expressing the wish to make problems disappear (repeated).
And i`ll bow down
Willingness to submit or surrender (repeated).
The dead stare at me through the trees
Feeling observed or judged by the deceased, possibly haunted.
Look at me now I am shining.
Asserting a transformed, radiant state.
