Lyrics
With the spectres of night there's a
Reflecting on the haunting presence of night and its lingering impact
burning drive to admit our lies
Feeling a compelling urge to confess the falsehoods we've embraced
At the break of dawn we see
Observing the emergence of truth at the beginning of a new day
the dust from the truth
Noticing the aftermath or consequences of acknowledging the truth
As the tracks of dogs lead past
Witnessing the trails left by others, possibly symbolizing a shared journey
our homes with their muzzles off
Our homes exposed, vulnerable, as external influences act unrestrained
They crash the cars and
External forces causing destruction and chaos, left for others to deal with
leave them smoking for you
Leaving behind wreckage for someone else to confront
I see myself in those plate glass eyes
Seeing one's own reflection and experiences in the eyes of others
I see you in the valley below
Perceiving someone else's existence or perspective in a lower position
I see myself in those plate glass eyes
Reiteration of seeing oneself in the reflective gaze of others
I see you in the valley below
Reiteration of perceiving someone else in a metaphorical valley, possibly signifying a low point
With uncanny pride the phantoms
Describing the eerie pride of nocturnal apparitions expressing themselves
of night let out their cries
Phantom cries resonating with an unsettling sense of pride
While the sleeping babes
Children reacting negatively, possibly symbolizing a loss of innocence
shake their heads with disgust
Children disapproving or feeling disdain for the revelations of the night
All the shrines of fools started
Communities of misguided individuals drawing closer, driven by increasing desire
closing in with increasing thirst
Places of misguided devotion intensifying their pursuit with a growing thirst
Where's the last of the
Pondering the disappearance of the last remaining wise individuals
wise men left to go
Questioning where the remaining wisdom might have gone
I see myself in those plate glass eyes
Repeating the theme of self-reflection in the eyes of others, particularly in plate glass
I see you in the valley below
Reiterating the vision of others in a metaphorical valley, emphasizing the contrast
I see myself in those plate glass eyes
Reiteration of seeing oneself reflected in the plate glass eyes of others
I see you in the valley below
Reiteration of perceiving someone else in the metaphorical valley below
I see myself in the valley below
Seeing a reflection of oneself in the metaphorical valley, reinforcing the connection
