Lyrics
So cruel your desire
Expressing the intense and harsh nature of someone's desire
It pulled me under
Feeling submerged or overwhelmed by the desire mentioned in line 1
But the drapery of my eye won't fall
Unable to fully close the metaphorical "drapery of the eye," suggesting a persistent awareness or inability to escape
I lie in wait for the night to find you
Waiting for the night, possibly to confront or encounter the source of desire
Sepia teeth and claw
Describing the object of desire with imagery of sepia teeth and claw, possibly signifying aged or vintage aggression
Hope was changing lanes
Positive expectation or optimism shifting unexpectedly
I had to turn
Forced to change direction or perspective
Changed my pace
Altering one's speed or approach in response to the changed circumstances
Either way
Indicating a state of uncertainty or ambiguity
I grew so old
Expressing the feeling of aging or weariness
This is how I disappear
Describing a self-withdrawal or disappearance
Separated from the dead twin
Symbolizing a separation or detachment from something (possibly the desire mentioned earlier)
No hound is on my trail now
Emphasizing a sense of freedom or lack of pursuit
Journey to the heart of your deceit
Embarking on a journey to uncover the truth or deception
And defining my shed skin
Defining one's identity or self anew after a transformative experience
With no one waiting
Being alone with no one expecting or anticipating
I am waiting for no one
Choosing not to wait for anyone
Departure from the terminus
Symbolizing a departure or exit from a decisive point
Arriving on the 4th
Arriving at a specific moment or realization (4th)
Weightless in the arms of none
Feeling weightless or unburdened in the absence of connection
Flick of the switch, my name lit up
Metaphorically describing a sudden recognition or acknowledgment of oneself
Flickering in white, then gone
Highlighting the transient and fleeting nature of this self-awareness
