Repent for Nothing
Redemption's Price: Confronting Guilt and Demise in 'Repent for Nothing'
Lyrics
You think that you own this world
You believe you have complete control over this world.
Like you're in this place alone
You feel as though you're the only presence in this space.
But I want you to see how it feels
The desire for you to experience the intense remorse I feel.
My searing pain of guilt
I want you to understand the burning agony of my guilt.
You're payments overdue
You have unpaid debts or responsibilities.
You've fallen out of line
You've deviated from the expected behavior or standards.
Nothing but a bitch
You're being insulted, degraded to a low level.
You deserve to die
You're being condemned for your actions, suggesting you deserve death.
Rot
An indication of decay or corruption.
The knots been tied
A decision or action has been finalized; there's no turning back.
It's too late for you
It's too late for any form of redemption or escape.
This is your demise
This marks the end of your existence.
I'll wrap the noose around your throat
I will put the instrument of your demise around your neck.
Suspend you from the gallows
You'll be hung from a structure used for executions.
And watch you fucking choke
I'll witness your struggle and suffering.
The blood
Symbolism of violence or harm inflicted.
Will fill your eyes
You'll witness your impending doom.
It's all too good for you
Your fate is too favorable considering your actions.
Your trachea will break and lacerate
Your airway will fracture causing severe injury.
That's my mercy being shown
This is the only kindness I'll offer.
Step up again
If you persist, you'll gain knowledge through suffering.
And you will learn
There will be a painful lesson to learn.
You will learn
Repeated emphasis on the inevitable learning through suffering.
That this is your last time around
This is your final chance at existence.
Step up again and you will learn
Repeating the warning of the consequences if you persist.
Watch the body hanging
An explicit view of the consequence - a hanging body.
It's all too good for you
Your punishment is deemed to be too lenient.
Repenting for your sins
The idea that seeking forgiveness will prolong the suffering.
Will only make the death slower
Suggesting that attempting to repent will only prolong the inevitable death.
