Lyrics

Take out the stories

Encouragement to discard fabricated narratives imposed on the mind

They've put into your mind

Rejecting externally imposed stories or beliefs

And brace for the glory

Prepare for the honor or triumph

As you stare into the sky

Contemplating the vastness of the sky

The sky beneath

Emphasizing the expanse of the sky

I know you can't be tired

Acknowledging the listener's endurance or persistence


Lay there, stare at the ceiling

Advising to lie down and reflect on one's experiences

And switch back to your time

Shift back to one's own timeline or history

Just go ahead now try and taste it

Encouraging to experience something and savor it

I know it should be ripe

Acknowledging the readiness of the experience


Thrust ahead

Command to move forward or progress


Turning in circles, been caught in a stasis

Describing a state of repetition and stagnation

The ancient arrival cut to the end

Referencing an ancient arrival and an impending conclusion

I'd like to be taken apart from the inside

Expressing a desire to be deconstructed from within

Then spit through the cycle right to the end

Symbolizing a cyclical process leading to an end


I wonder, just how you shaped it

Curiosity about the creation or formation of something

To get back to your prize

Returning to a valued possession or achievement


Thrust ahead

Command to move forward or progress


Turning in circles, been caught in a stasis

Describing a state of repetition and stagnation (repeated)

The ancient arrival cut to the end

Referencing an ancient arrival and an impending conclusion (repeated)

I'd like to be taken apart from the inside

Expressing a desire to be deconstructed from within (repeated)

Then spit through the cycle right to the end

Symbolizing a cyclical process leading to an end (repeated)


Wake for the glory

Awakening to the honor or triumph

I know you can't be

Asserting that the listener cannot be fatigued

Tired

Repetition of the listener's endurance or persistence


Turning in circles, been caught in a stasis

Describing a state of repetition and stagnation (repeated)

The ancient arrival cut to the end

Referencing an ancient arrival and an impending conclusion (repeated)

I'd like you to take me apart from the inside

Expressing a desire to be deconstructed from within (repeated)

Then spit through the cycle right to the end

Symbolizing a cyclical process leading to an end (repeated)

Inside, inside, inside

Repetition of the desire to be taken apart from within

Turning in circles, been caught in a stasis (inside, inside, inside)

Describing a state of repetition and stagnation (repeated)

I want you to take me apart from the inside

Repetition of the desire to be taken apart from within

Right to the end

Emphasizing the desire to reach an ultimate conclusion
