Lyrics
I raised myself up from the bottom of a dead lake
I emerged from a low point, akin to rising from the depths of despair.
Black sirens wail like children screaming under stairways
The sound of ominous sirens resembles the distressing cries of children, evoking a sense of horror.
The Death Knell tolls so long
The prolonged tolling of the Death Knell, a symbolic bell indicating death or doom.
The Death Knell tolls so long
-I saw my mirrored laughing skull-face in eternity
Witnessing my own reflection with a skull-like face in an eternal or timeless space.
Rain washed my dreams all down the drain right there in front of me
Rain washed away my dreams, a metaphor for the dissolution of aspirations.
The Death Knell tolls so long
Reiteration of the enduring tolling of the Death Knell.
The Death Knell tolls so long
-Strike black notes, roads into wells
Creating dark melodies, forging paths into deep wells.
Heavy drapes fall, the halo dissolves
Symbolic curtains fall heavily, and the halo, a sign of sanctity, dissolves.
My haunted memories stuck back together with sellotape
Piecing together haunted memories with makeshift repairs.
Rooftops refuse their jagged shelter floods my joy away
Refusal of shelter leads to the flooding of joy, portraying a sense of abandonment.
The Death Knell tolls so long
Repetition of the enduring tolling of the Death Knell.
The Death Knell tolls so long
-Towards the neon roars of bars on crucifixion street
Moving towards the chaotic and oppressive environment of bars on a street associated with crucifixion.
The vacant leaded drone of cars that drip into my grief
The monotonous noise of cars contributes to personal sorrow.
The Death Knell tolls so long
Reiteration of the enduring tolling of the Death Knell.
The Death Knell tolls so long
-I suck the sewers up, hold them close, like long lost families
Metaphorically embracing unpleasant experiences like sewage, considering them as lost connections.
The final hit, I cashed my chips, the way it's got to be
Acceptance of a final, inevitable outcome, reminiscent of a gamble.
Liars bite the floor, world frowns out
Lies are exposed, and the world becomes disapproving.
Red right through, inside and out
A metaphorical portrayal of being exposed, vulnerable inside and out.
Holding on hospital gowns
Clutching onto hospital gowns, possibly representing a struggle for life.
Damned catholic soul
A soul burdened by the judgments of the Catholic faith.
Last doors, last call
Symbolic references to final moments, closing doors, and a last call.
I raised myself up from the bottom of a dead lake
Repetition of the earlier emergence from a desolate place.
Black sirens wail like children screaming under stairways
Reiteration of the haunting sirens, emphasizing a distressing atmosphere.
The Death Knell tolls so long
Reiteration of the enduring tolling of the Death Knell.
The Death Knell tolls so long
-I saw my mirrored laughing skull-face in eternity
Reflection on a skull-like face in eternity is revisited.
Rain washed my dreams all down the drain right there in front of me
Recurrence of dreams being washed away, reinforcing a sense of loss.
The Death Knell tolls so long
Final repetition of the enduring tolling of the Death Knell.
The Death Knell tolls so long
