Lyrics
Fire awaits, she says you'll never see another dawn.
Warning of imminent danger; someone predicts a bleak future with no hope.
Seas churning, now you're sitting at the edge of a storm,
Metaphorically describes a turbulent situation, possibly a crisis or chaos.
cast aside by the one who thought they knew ya,
Feeling rejected and abandoned by someone who was supposed to understand you.
Spend the remainder of your life on a downer
Being stuck in a state of deep sadness or depression for the rest of one's life.
Wide awake, and sleeping when you wish you wont.
Experiencing insomnia and wishing for restful sleep but unable to achieve it.
Fingernails are falling out and all your teeth are broke.
Physical deterioration, symbolized by the loss of fingernails and broken teeth.
What will you do when the floor is made of lava.
Facing a perilous situation, possibly representing a challenging or dangerous environment.
Don't call that fate man you can call that karma.
Rejecting the idea of fate and attributing difficulties to the consequences of one's actions (karma).
Soothsayer won't tell you any lies
The soothsayer, someone who predicts the future, is introduced as a truthful figure.
Soothsayer won't stop at any price
Emphasizing that the soothsayer is relentless and won't be deterred by any cost.
Bellyache and daggers down to the bone.
Experiencing both physical pain (bellyache) and emotional pain (daggers down to the bone).
Just conversation with your brain now you're on your own.
Isolation and a disconnection from reality, relying solely on internal thoughts.
No escape from the plague that's gonna swarm ya,
No escape from a looming disaster or problem that will overwhelm.
And all your taps they'll be running dirty water
Expecting challenges and difficulties, symbolized by taps running dirty water.
Placing bets, even though you know you're never gonna win
Taking risks or making decisions despite the awareness that success is unlikely.
Parasites'll bury deep underneath your skin.
Being harmed by hidden threats or toxic influences represented as parasites.
You'll lose control of what's already a broken mind
Losing control over one's thoughts and emotions in a state of mental distress.
Looking for sommat that you're never gonna find.
Searching for something unattainable, possibly a futile pursuit or desire.
