A Gradual Unwinding
A Gradual Unwinding: Echoes of Self-Destruction
Lyrics
You take your time
You're taking your time.
Breaking my heart
You're causing emotional pain by breaking my heart.
Make it worth your while
Do something valuable while causing this pain.
You take your time
Reiteration of the idea of taking your time.
Breaking my heart
Reiteration of causing emotional pain by breaking my heart.
Make it worth your while
Re-emphasizing the need to make it worthwhile.
You drowned inside a wishing well
You became deeply immersed in a hopeless situation.
Saw some things you'll never tell
You witnessed things that you're keeping secret.
You fell under the strength of your own spell
You succumbed to your own influence or power.
You tied a string around a mouse
You attempted to control something small and helpless.
Begged him to find his way out
You pleaded for something small to save itself.
You were crushed by the weight of your own doubt
You were overwhelmed by your own uncertainties.
Decorate yourself with the blood you spill
You adorn yourself with the consequences of your actions.
You spill
Reiteration of spilling blood or causing harm.
Tear down the walls you took so long to build
You're destroying barriers you spent a lot of effort constructing.
To build
Reiteration of the effort put into building those barriers.
And as the string is tightly wound
A comparison to a tightly wound string and its resulting negative impact.
You produce unholy sounds
Your actions lead to unpleasant or disharmonious outcomes.
The cabinet's empty now, you swallowed it all down
You've consumed or taken in everything, leaving nothing behind.
The oil in the lamp is low
The energy or passion you had is diminishing.
Not that you would even know
You're unaware of important details or fail to notice essential things.
Your solipsism dealt the final blow
Your self-centeredness caused irreparable damage.
