Lyrics
I'm in a crowded room - I've been half-asleep
I find myself in a crowded room while being partially asleep.
Says the sister in uniform
A woman, possibly a sister, in uniform speaks.
"Has everybody understood?"
She checks if everyone has understood something.
The listeners turn and nod
Listeners acknowledge by turning and nodding.
But I can see their fear, do they know more than me
Despite their apparent understanding, I sense fear in them.
Do they know why they're here
Wonder if they comprehend the purpose of their presence.
I don't want that poison in
I reject the idea of accepting a harmful influence or substance.
She passed around a potion - it went from lip to hand
A potion is offered, and it circulates among the group.
I took a sip, a taste I didn't understand
I consume a small amount without fully understanding its nature.
The woman then explained, that this was the juice, the juice that causes pain
A woman explains that this is a painful juice required by great singers.
That all great singers need
Emphasizing the idea that pain is essential for artistic greatness.
I don't want that poison in
Reiterating the rejection of harmful influences.
I stumbled from the room
I leave the room, feeling there might be a misunderstanding.
There must be some mistake
I deny the acceptance of a seed, possibly a metaphorical burden.
I do not want this seed
Feeling disoriented, as if I am in someone else's dream.
Think I'm in another's dream
Suggesting a surreal experience or a sense of detachment.
Now I can feel this creature flapping in my throat
Sensations of a creature inside me, causing discomfort.
Try and throw it up
Attempting to expel the discomfort by coughing.
But my cough turns to a choke
The cough worsens and turns into a choking sensation.
Put my fingers in my mouth
Desperation leads to physically trying to remove the discomfort.
I have it by the head
A graphic description of grabbing hold of the discomfort.
It dug into my jaw
The discomfort is firmly attached to my jaw.
I threw the sucker to the floor
I forcefully remove the cause of discomfort, throwing it away.
Sucker to the floor
Reiterating the act of discarding the source of pain.
