Lyrics
The rope is growing 'round my neck
The speaker feels constrained, as if a metaphorical rope is tightening around their neck.
The eagle of justice
The eagle of justice symbolizes a powerful force associated with fairness and righteousness.
Is flying above the oceans of sadness
The eagle flies over vast emotional turmoil represented by the "oceans of sadness."
Created by tears, blood sweat
The emotional landscape is created by a mix of tears, blood, sweat, and fear.
And fear
Fear, especially of believers or those with conviction, is highlighted.
Fear of believers
Continuation of the fear theme, focusing on believers as a source of anxiety.
The eagle of justice
The eagle of justice, a symbol of fairness, is reiterated in connection with fear.
Your feathers are made of ash
The feathers of the eagle are metaphorically made of ash, suggesting a corrupted or tainted sense of justice.
That's falling from heaven
The ash is falling from heaven, implying a divine origin, but it's resting in hell, indicating corruption.
And it's resting in hell
The speaker expresses a conviction that they won't be found by the oppressive force.
Conviction that you'll never find me
A sense of hope is introduced, hoping not to be hurt by the aforementioned force.
Hope that you'll never hurt me
The desire to escape, paralleled with a volcano eruption, symbolizing intense emotions.
Desire to run away
The destructive act is completed, akin to the eruption of a volcano.
Like a volcano during an eruption
The speaker observes the aftermath, watching the sun directly with intense focus.
Destruction is done
Blindness paradoxically enhances perception, enabling the speaker to see beyond the surface.
I watch the sun, with my bare fucking eyes
The only refuge or hiding place is identified.
Blindness lets me see
A call or reference to a vanguard, possibly seeking leadership or guidance.
The only place to hide
A contrast with the soothing sound of uselessness, highlighting the speaker's need for a personal revelation.
Vanguard!
A reaffirmation of the need for a personal epiphany.
And mellifluous sound of uselessness
The metaphorical rope has tightened further around the speaker's neck.
All I need is epiphany of mine
The eagle of injustice now symbolizes an unfair and oppressive force.
Rope grew 'round this neck
Recurrence of the metaphorical rope, emphasizing increasing constraint.
The eagle of injustice
The eagle of injustice flies over realms marked by madness, hysteria, and forgetfulness.
Flew over the lands of insanity and hysteria
The theme of oblivion is reiterated, suggesting a state of being forgotten or ignored.
And oblivion
The speaker remains defined by oblivion despite the eagle's presence.
Still describes me!
Continued identification with oblivion despite the oppressive force.
The eagle of justice
Repetition of the eagle of justice, emphasizing its persistent influence.
Your feathers are made of ash
The corrupt nature of justice is reiterated through the ash-made feathers.
That's falling from heaven
Repetition of the falling ash, emphasizing the corrupt origin of the eagle's feathers.
And is resting in hell
The duality of heaven and hell is once again highlighted in connection with justice.
I'm hanging
The speaker is left in a vulnerable position, hanging, suggesting a state of helplessness or defeat.
