Unforeseen Consequences
Birth's Unseen Mark: A Tale of Origin and Obsession
Lyrics
A memory of a scar
A recollection of a lasting emotional wound.
Taken from our precious coalition
Taken from a valuable alliance or partnership.
Entering the realm of birth
Entering the process of being born.
I am summoned with the stillness
Summoned into existence with a sense of calmness.
A torturous welcoming bestows the precious enigma
A painful welcome presents a valuable mystery.
Cupped in my mothers shaking hands
Held in the trembling hands of the speaker's mother.
A frantic blur of flesh
A chaotic blur of human flesh.
Cradling an object only ghostwriters conjure
Cradling an object that only skilled writers can conjure.
Her lips press against a figure so cold and blue
The mother kisses a lifeless, cold figure.
Sticky vernix coats her trembling mouth
The mother's mouth is coated with sticky vernix.
Her eyes are sealed to erase this horror
Her eyes are shut to avoid facing the horror.
The knife has spoken
A surgical procedure is performed.
Dissection and separation
Dissecting and separating newborn flesh.
Neonate flesh is prepared for the great partition
The infant's flesh is prepared for a significant division.
Intervention with natures intentions
Interference with the natural course of events.
Entering the realm of birth
Repeating the process of entering the world.
I am summoned with the stillness
Summoned into existence again with a stillness.
A torturous welcoming bestows the precious enigma
A painful welcome bestows a valuable mystery again.
Cupped in my mothers shaking hands
Once more held in the shaking hands of the mother.
A frantic blur of flesh
A chaotic blur of flesh is repeated.
Cradling an object only ghostwriters conjure
Cradling an object of mysterious origin.
Years have passed and I cannot recall
Years have passed, and the speaker cannot remember the traumatic event.
Any of this agonizing episode
Unable to recall the agonizing episode from the past.
Yet this scar on my side
A scar on the side as a reminder of the maker's fixation.
Is the origin of my makers obsession
The origin of the creator's obsession lies in this scar.
In secrecy I study the forbidden diary
Secretly studying a forbidden diary for understanding.
Her memoir unfurls a sewer of clandestine activity
The mother's memoir reveals hidden and illicit activities.
I learn of the being torn from my side
Learning about the separation from the speaker's side.
I learn of the jar of preservation and nauseation
Discovering a jar of preservation and nauseation.
Deeply unsettling discovery of distorted malformation
Unsettling revelation of distorted malformation.
Information I wish to remove from my mind
Information the speaker wishes to erase from memory.
Now I know the beginnings of this scar
Now understanding the origin of the scar.
The hideousness of what came to be.
Acknowledging the hideousness of what came into existence.
