Lyrics

Death-like in her pallor

Describing someone as deathly pale or resembling death

Silver spiders in the parlor glisten

There are shiny/sparkling spiders in the living room

Come into me, listen

Invitation to pay attention and heed what is being said

We'll open our wounds

Suggesting an intention to reveal emotional pain or scars


Kill the devil moon

Expressing a desire to eliminate or defeat something dark or negative

Come into me, listen

Reiteration of the invitation to pay attention and listen closely

Am I what you see

Questioning whether the observer's perception matches reality

Is this what is me

Questioning whether the observed persona is genuine or a façade


Come into me, listen

Repetition of the call to listen and pay heed

A diamond in the rough

Describing oneself as having potential but not yet refined

A heart torn off the cuff

Having a deeply wounded or hurt heart

You wore it on your sleeve

Referring to showing emotions openly or vulnerably


Now come into me

Repeating the invitation to be attentive and listen closely

Her heart was all she owned

Her heart was her most prized possession

Her body worn down to the bone

Her physical body was worn out and exhausted

For she gave herself away

She gave herself emotionally to others freely


On every money day

She experienced pain regularly

Yes she took her "payn" in style

She endured pain with a sense of style or grace

For she was saturns child

Describing someone as associated with Saturn, the god of time and hardship

Come into me, listen

Repeated invitation to listen attentively


So look at my face

Asking others to observe their face

Draw a mask

Metaphorically suggesting to conceal emotions or true self behind a mask

White circles on the sun

Imagery of the sun with white circles as a symbol of alteration

Look at my face

Reiteration of asking others to look at the persona's face


Draw a mask

Repeating the metaphorical call to draw a mask

White circles: its begun

White circles symbolizing transformation or change

Hollow your mind

Encouraging someone to empty their mind or become hollow

Watch yourself die

Suggesting a metaphorical death or transformation of the self


Come into me, listen

Repeated urging for others to listen attentively

Come into me, listen

Reiteration of the call to listen and pay attention

Come into me, listening

Invitation to come and engage in deep listening
