Lyrics

Smell your world when you come

Referencing heightened sensory perception upon someone's arrival.

I won't make a victim

Asserting a refusal to become a victim.

I lie awake and I'm forsaken

Feeling awake and abandoned or deserted.


From all the holes in my time

Metaphorically describing emotional or psychological wounds.

You saved up for this true lie

Implying preparation or anticipation for a deceitful reality.

The devil bides her time in waiting

Evoking the idea of evil patiently awaiting its moment.


And still she comes

Reiteration of a persistent presence or influence.

Crystallized in paranoia

Being trapped or consumed by overwhelming fear.

Lost yourself inside her madness

Having lost oneself within someone else's insanity or chaos.

Beast has glazed your being

Describing the inner self as being hardened or coated by a malevolent force.

With its torture

Expressing enduring anguish or torment caused by this force.


All the faults in your life

Reflecting on the flaws or errors in one's existence.

This suffering can't be mine

Disowning responsibility for certain suffering.

The curse will grow with what you prey for

Suggesting that one's curses or troubles increase with desires or wishes.


And still she comes

Reaffirming the persistence of a particular presence or force.

She's calling

Indicating a beckoning or calling from this force.

I'm falling

Feeling oneself descending or losing control.

She makes me mine

Stating the possessive nature of the force over the individual.

Still calling

Continuing to be summoned or called by this force.

I'm crawling

Describing a state of subservience or vulnerability.

She is benign

Characterizing the force as harmless or benevolent despite its control.


Smell your world when you came

Recalling the heightened sensory experience upon someone's departure.

Now I am a victim

Reversal in stance, now identifying as a victim.

I lie awake - I swim inside you

Metaphorically swimming within the influence or essence of someone else.


And still she comes...

Reiteration of the ongoing arrival or influence of the force.
