Lyrics
Slithering specimen withered and laid to rest and then
Describing a creature that has decayed and is now at rest.
Rudely awakened by the crude taste of his metal weapon
The creature is abruptly awakened by the taste of its metallic weapon.
Kid's a legendarily wretched expression of death and pestilence
The person referred to as "Kid" embodies a wretched expression of death and disease.
Meshed within the flesh of maleficence and indifference
Kid is intertwined with malevolence and apathy in his flesh.
Impressive, and yet pathetic dense with rhetoric
Impressive yet pathetic, dense with rhetorical expression.
'bout his best efforts invested while lending just a percent of it
Kid's best efforts are significant, but he only contributes a small fraction of it.
Breath as fresh as excrement, infested
His breath is unpleasant, infested with decay.
Pursuing stupid dreams with no human means of collecting it
Kid chases unrealistic dreams without practical means of achieving them.
Definitely a specialist method actor expressionist
Described as a specialist method actor expressionist.
Purely concerned with burning his work to unearth the elements
His sole concern is destroying his work to uncover hidden elements.
Revenant of better times spending his life regretting shit
A revenant of better times, Kid spends his life in regret.
Head dive into sediment dead and call it development
Metaphorical headfirst dive into sediment, symbolizing development.
Arrogant, seeming apparent through leagues of evidence
Arrogance apparent through overwhelming evidence.
He's heaven sent to relish the hellish stench of irrelevance
Sent to relish the unpleasant stench of insignificance.
Yellow belly wrenching, he's clenching it with trembling fists
Expressing fear, Kid clenches his belly with trembling fists.
And sweating at the mention of adventure potentially missed
Fearful of missing out, sweating at the thought of unexplored adventures.
Spurting sentiments, yearn again to return to whence
Expressing sentiments and a desire to return to the past.
Birth occurred, but innocence is ignorance in a certain sense
Birth occurred, but innocence is lost in a certain sense.
Earth is turning, we learn to forget the early tense
We learn to forget the early tense of life.
And squirm into a firm sense of burden earning at your expense
Life becomes a burden, earning at the expense of others.
Plenty pissed in the pistons of reminiscing
Frustration in reminiscing about the past.
But this is what it is to see the mystery written
Acceptance of life's mysteries.
I refuse to peruse scrap remains of chewed bones
Refusal to examine remains of the past.
My happy place is the epitaph engraved on my future tombstone
Happy place is the epitaph on a future tombstone.
White bone, eyes sewn shut
Describing a decomposing state with eyes closed.
Slowly decomposing like thank God I'm a grown-up
Thankful for adulthood while slowly deteriorating.
Left alone in my hole just
Being alone in one's thoughts.
To breathe a new meaning to dead asleep and having no guts
Assigning new meaning to being dead asleep, lacking courage.
'cause dreams seem real till you woke up
Dreams seem real until one wakes up.
And dates were great with destiny guess except till you broke up
Positive experiences with destiny until a breakup.
So what? The three piece fits but it's cold, yup
A well-dressed appearance but feeling cold.
Oh there's no place like home, I'm so stuck
Feeling stuck and homesick.
Now bone brown, mouth sewn shut
Bones turning brown with a closed mouth.
Holding nothing spare fingernails, some hair and my own luck
Clutching onto little, including fingernails, some hair, and luck.
Shucks, the one rebuttal I'd throw up
Expressing a sarcastic rebuttal and a realization of giving no importance.
At least I dug apart the subtle art of giving no fucks
Digging into the art of not caring.
So when the rowboat toll man show up
Anticipating the arrival of a toll man while acknowledging financial struggles.
I'll show him that I'm broker than hope and motion a cold shrug
Showing financial hardship and indifference with a cold shrug.
Sure 'nuff, no one is going to show a ghost love
Expecting no love as a ghost.
Oh there's no place like home, I'm so fucked
Feeling messed up and homesick.
