Phantom Limb
Unveiling Guilt: Phantom Limb's Haunting Tale of Accusation and Redemption
Lyrics
It's throwing me off like a
Feeling disrupted, like an obstacle in the form of a stone in the shoe.
Stone in my shoe
Questioning if a previous statement was a joke containing some truth.
Was that a joke that carried
Raising the possibility of an event or incident.
A grain of truth
Wondering if something significant occurred.
Did something happen
Asking about a specific incident or change.
There's something on your chin
Noticing a physical detail on someone's face.
I can feel what I lost
Experiencing a deep emotional loss, akin to the sensation of a missing limb.
Just like a phantom limb
Comparing the feeling of loss to that of a phantom limb.
There's something wrong in here
Sensing that something is amiss or problematic.
It's something cruel
Describing a cruel element in the situation.
But this is not about me
Emphasizing that the focus is not on the speaker but on someone else.
So here's to you
Offering a toast or acknowledgment to the person in focus.
It's crawling over me
Feeling a sensation or emotion intensifying.
A cold touch on my skin
Experiencing a chilling sensation on the skin.
The nails drawing blood
Describing a physical impact, possibly indicating harm.
Not mine, my phantom limb's
Clarifying that the harm is not to the speaker but to their phantom limb.
Their torches lit
Depicting a hostile group with lit torches.
The angry mob
Referring to an angry mob forming.
Is gathering outside
Stating that the mob is gathering outside.
When they break through
Pondering the reaction when the group breaks through.
Will you be
Presenting a choice between being seen as a monster or its companion.
The monster or its bride
Asking about the role or identity in the impending confrontation.
And now I know you're guilty
Asserting knowledge of guilt without requiring evidence.
I don't need proof
Claiming that witches face consequences based on accusations, not evidence.
'Cause witches always hang
Highlighting the inevitable fate of those accused as a warning.
Once they are accused
Implying a self-fulfilling prophecy in the accusatory process.
It's self fulfilling
Suggesting that the process won't cease once initiated.
Won't stop once it begins
Advising caution against accusing others, emphasizing consequences.
Beware the pointing finger
Warning against the accusing nature of the phantom limb.
Of my phantom limb
Attributing accusatory tendencies to the phantom limb.
