Lyrics

Quietly seek the kingdom of lull.

Seeking tranquility and peace in a calm state.

Brutality in between their golden arches.

Violence or harshness amidst symbols of commercial success.

It’s relentless.

Continuous and unyielding.

He told me that all the world's a stage.

A reference to the idea that life is like a theatrical performance.


Isn’t it funny? They’ll think I got lucky.

Others may perceive success as luck when it's not.

The blade went in. I’m bleeding out

A violent act has occurred, resulting in bleeding.

unwritten stories, the bleak allegorical

Unwritten stories depict grim and symbolic narratives.

mess in me. The art of the comeback.

An internal struggle portrayed as artful resilience.


I’ve grown uninspired, the beetle on its back,

Feeling devoid of inspiration, akin to a helpless beetle.

White lies, her mouth’s a cul de sac.

Metaphorically describing someone’s mouth as a dead-end.

Little table, set yourself

Encouragement to differentiate oneself from the crowd.

apart from the whole.

Acknowledging powerlessness over past events.

I can’t do anything about it now.

Accepting inability to change certain situations.

Don’t tell me that

Refusal to accept blame.

I’m the one you blame.

Denial of responsibility for someone’s issues.


Dopamine junkies, blind outrage, and zombies.

Reference to people addicted to pleasure, anger, and mindlessness.

Welcome the fool’s golden age.

Embracing an era of false success and folly.

Two realities, their armies approaching.

Two conflicting viewpoints or forces are approaching.

Part the seas or brace for impact.

Choice between avoidance or preparation for a crisis.


Oh you’re good.

Acknowledgment of someone’s skill or cunning.

Oh you’re real good.

Reaffirmation of someone’s capability or skill.

But you’d better settle your debt with the devil.

A warning to resolve any unresolved negative consequences.

Settle your debts.

Reiterating the need to address one’s dues or obligations.


Oh you’re good.

Similar to line 24, acknowledging someone’s prowess.

Oh you’re real good.

Reaffirming someone’s exceptional abilities.

A scarlet letter & no regrets. My existential marionette.

Accepting a public mark of shame without remorse.


Oh you’re good.

Similar to lines 24 and 29, acknowledging someone’s skill.

Oh you’re perfect in almost every way,

Praising someone’s almost flawless nature.

I won’t forget. I’m sentimental.

Affirming sentimentality and the refusal to forget.

Settle the debt. You live in a ghost town.

Advising to settle unresolved issues in an isolated existence.


Or give me another excuse.

Demanding a valid reason or explanation for actions.

There's nothing easier than being miserable.

Highlighting the ease of embracing misery.

You’re so free you can choose bondage,

Choosing to accept restrictions despite freedom.

Black leather straps to match your outfit.

A metaphorical reference to willingly adopting limitations.

Am I a monster with two heads,

Questioning internal conflict and the desire for unity.

can I tame them both to look the same direction?

Questioning control over conflicting impulses or sides.

Tooth of time. The empire’s suicide

Declaring the eventual downfall or destruction of a powerful entity.

I think I’m having an out of body experience.

An experience of feeling detached from one's physical self.
