Now Is the Time
Eternal Yearning: Unveiling the Depths of Controlled Bleeding's 'Now Is the Time'
Lyrics
Heathen, a pagan
Referring to oneself as a non-believer or outsider, possibly rejecting conventional beliefs.
No sun shines for me
Expressing a sense of darkness or difficulty in finding positivity or happiness.
Savage but gentle
Describing a contradictory nature—wild and untamed yet capable of gentleness.
The animal within
Acknowledging the primal, instinctual aspect within oneself.
And I see it now
Realizing or understanding one's own nature or inner self.
I had a weird dream
Describing an unusual or surreal dream experience.
Watch but don’t touch
Advising caution, observing without getting involved or making contact.
I had a weird dream
Repeating the dream experience, suggesting its significance.
I’m taking it away
Claiming possession or control over the dream or its contents.
Put it in a bag, hide it in a tree
Suggesting a secretive or protective act, concealing something important.
I want to steal your heart, your heart
Expressing a desire to capture someone's affection or essence.
With these eyes I cannot see
Highlighting a limitation—unable to perceive certain things with clarity.
And this cold heart never bleeds, never
Emphasizing emotional detachment or resilience—heart remaining unaffected.
Sweet smell this poison, the colour you bring
Describing a toxic allure or attraction with vivid sensory imagery.
Tongue swollen venoms, to touch, to love
Using metaphorical language for dangerous allure and the potential for harm in love.
I want to steal your heart, I want to eat your heart
Intensifying the desire to possess or consume someone's essence.
I reach for the sky but never can touch
Expressing an unreachable goal or aspiration.
It seems so easy, easy to me
Perceiving something as seemingly simple or achievable but still unattainable.
Still I cannot, will not take this thing
Persisting in avoiding or rejecting a certain experience or feeling.
Hearsay, this heresy
Referring to unverified information or beliefs that lead to wrongdoing.
A victim to sin
Acknowledging victimhood to sinful behavior or actions.
Eternal the torment, the answer lies within
Describing enduring suffering with the solution found within oneself.
I had a weird dream, watch but don’t touch
Reiterating the dream experience with a warning to observe without interference.
I had a weird dream, I’m taking it away
Repeating the claim of taking control over the dream or its contents.
The love you give is the love you get
Stating a principle that the love one receives is reflective of the love one gives.
