Lyrics
Just desserts and just denial
Addressing consequences (desserts) and refusal to acknowledge them (denial)
Soft insert or thrust inside
Reference to gentle or forceful penetration or intrusion
Could you shut the light?
Asking to turn off the light, possibly symbolizing avoidance or secrecy
Of the Earth and of design
Exploring the themes of Earth and intentional creation
Bask in mirth or bathed in bile
Contrasting between joy and disgust, or happiness and bitterness
'Tis but defiled
Characterizing something as corrupted or impure
Silver teeth to golden guts
Metaphorically depicting a transition from valuable qualities to inner corruption
Not enough to all too much
Expressing dissatisfaction with quantity—either too little or excessive
Will to hear to will to hush
Describing conflicting desires to listen and to remain silent
Shore to shore to dust to dust
Symbolizing life's journey from one end to another, ending in mortality
In trust to skip, in faith to dive
Opting to avoid or trust, having faith in taking risks
Wash the skin and flush the eyes
Mentioning cleansing actions, perhaps to erase or forget
String thrice the bind
Emphasizing the strength of attachment or bondage
God it hurts, Oh God I tried
Expressing pain and effort in attempting something
What's the worth of how I lied
Questioning the value of deception and falsehood
Yet just beside
Indicating proximity to something significant or consequential
Silver teeth to golden guts
Reiterating the shift from valuable traits to inner corruption
Not enough to all too much
Echoing dissatisfaction with quantity, emphasizing imbalance
Will to hear to will to hush
Revisiting the conflicting desires to listen and to remain silent
Shore to shore to dust to dust
Recalling life's journey from one shore to another, culminating in mortality
