Sanguinary Feast
Sanguinary Feast: Unveiling Mysteries Through Spider-Infused Reflections
Lyrics
I'm drinking spiders
I'm consuming something unpleasant or ominous.
In a table for three
In a situation involving three entities.
With one eyed Messiah
A one-eyed figure representing a messianic or symbolic presence.
And Joseph as my company
Accompanied by Joseph, possibly a biblical reference.
You chose to be the blinds' eyes
You've chosen to represent the unaware or indifferent.
The deafs' ears
Being oblivious to others' struggles or communication.
A yell upon the lips of those who's tongues are tied
A scream symbolizing those silenced or oppressed.
Forgive me for your eye
Requesting forgiveness for lack of understanding.
I'm feeling tension as I write
Sensing tension while expressing thoughts in writing.
I feel no pain
Experiencing no physical pain.
Still you ain't trying to feel no rest
Others not attempting to find peace or solace.
That's why I'm blind
Being blind metaphorically.
And not for you climbing alongside Tim and Dan
Choosing not to join others in certain activities.
I try to reach you in your sleep
Attempting to connect with someone during their sleep.
In the form of the bespectacled falling child
Symbolic image of a falling child with glasses.
Holding the fluttering infant from its sleeves above the sea
Protecting innocence above a threatening situation.
You are late
Someone is delayed or arriving late.
Your pillow's full of oil
A metaphorical description of a contaminated resting place.
Oh little child put on Thursday shoes
Advice to face challenges with resilience.
And laugh as you grumble for the light
Finding humor in difficult situations.
I witnessed the moment
Personally witnessing a critical moment.
That spider got stuck in your throat
A spider causing discomfort or obstruction in communication.
But I've seen it before
Recognition of a recurring or familiar event.
A memory worn outside of clothes
A memory displayed openly, like an external garment.
As you drink in haste
Consuming rapidly or without consideration.
Like a hare in chase
Acting impulsively, like a hare in pursuit.
You'll never taste the slightest of delights
Missing out on simple pleasures due to haste.
Neither a stab from its rays
Avoiding even the smallest joys or pains.
Burrow down to your hole
Retreating to a private or isolated space with intellectual and aesthetic pursuits.
With books and dazzling flowers
Questioning the nature of the world—whether it's a celebration or a melody.
Is the world a parade or a song?
Reiteration of a contaminated resting place, suggesting ongoing issues.
Your pillow's full of oil
Repeated mention of an unclean pillow, emphasizing discomfort.
Oh little child put on Thursday shoes
Encouragement to face challenges with a positive attitude.
And laugh as you grumble for the light
Finding humor in difficulties, echoing a previous line.
