Lyrics
Followed down the phantom
Following a mysterious entity or illusion
Of the goldfish soul
Referring to a soul with qualities of a goldfish (fragile or fleeting)
To the concrete temple and
Heading towards a solid structure, possibly metaphorical
The tunnels to nowhere
Exploring tunnels that lead to nowhere
The fair in the lair of the overworld
A gathering in the underground habitat of mysterious beings
Echo in the land of the mole people
Reverberations in the mole people's realm
The vampire city sinking teeth into minds
A city metaphorically described as a vampire, influencing thoughts
Steals the stars from the sky
City deprives the sky of stars with its artificial eyes
With it's LED eyes
Describing the city's eyes as LED, possibly artificial or cold
And it's the lord of the ghouls
The ruler of the underworld
On the aisle of flies
An eerie place with a prevalence of flies
It didn't take me long to figure out
Quick realization about the rat king's symbolic significance
The rat king is a crown
Symbolizing deceit with the rat king being a crown
Oh, lies of truth are gonna feed you
Deceptive truths that will sustain and nurture
So low that you can't get down
Being in a situation so dire that escape seems impossible
Dark days underground
Describing difficult times in the hidden world below
Subway subhumans
People living beneath the city, possibly marginalized
Some days sub zero
Some days are extremely challenging
I'm feeding off of pigeons
Surviving by consuming unconventional sources
And rats under here
Depicting a harsh reality of living among rats
Oh, it's a short fall down
Highlighting the precariousness of the situation
And a long crawl up
Recovery is slow and challenging
Gonna save yourself?
Prompting the listener to take action for self-preservation
Better save your luck
Advising to safeguard oneself against difficulties
Peeking on the land
Observing the surface world beyond obstacles
Beyond the traffic cones
Mention of dropped belongings near construction signs
I dropped my pocket clock
Symbolic loss of time or control
Down a sink hole and it fell
Item falls into a pit, hinting at deeper challenges
Before the lonesome
Referring to a lonely ruler in the mole world
Prince of the moles
Symbolic significance of the lonesome prince among moles
It didn't take me long to figure out
Reiteration of the rat king as a symbolic crown
The rat king is a crown
Re-emphasizing the deceptive nature of the rat king
Oh, lies of truth are gonna feed you
Deceptive truths sustaining in difficult circumstances
So low that you can't get down
Intensity of challenges making descent impossible
Dark days underground
Continuation of difficult times beneath the surface
Under here
Reiteration of the challenging underground environment
Under homes
Living below normalcy or comfort
Under their
Below the superficial aspects of existence
Skin and bones
Penetrating deeper into the essence of being
Under here
Below normal living conditions and experiences
Under homes
Reiteration of the challenges below homes
Under here
Emphasizing the difficulties below the surface
Under homes
Repetition of challenges below homes
Under their
Challenges exist beneath the external facade of individuals
Skin and bones
Challenges exist beneath the superficial aspects of individuals
