Lyrics
Cast No Reflection
Expressing a lack of self-identity or presence, as if not leaving an impression on others.
I am possessed I guess, in need of an exorcist
Feeling controlled by something supernatural, hinting at the need for spiritual intervention.
A holy chief, a priest at least no doctor can cure this disease
Describing a desperate state that medical professionals cannot remedy, suggesting a spiritual ailment.
I’m fading fast each breath my last, you’re drinking up my laughing gas
Facing imminent demise, with a metaphorical reference to someone consuming joy at the narrator's expense.
A different class of demons pass through each and every looking glass
Encountering dark forces or challenges that distort one's perception of reality.
Now every moment I’m afraid of what I might do in your name
Expressing fear of potential actions done in the name of someone or something.
Your signature claw marks remain upon my flesh a ruby stain
Physical evidence of a previous relationship or encounter marked by pain and lasting impact.
Well I never wanted you to go, well I tried my best to let you know that
Regretting the departure of someone important and struggling to communicate that desire.
Beyond the pale no love can grow
Describing a situation where love cannot thrive or survive.
You wanted to live like vampires
Desiring a life akin to vampires, possibly symbolizing a longing for eternal or unconventional existence.
But you couldn’t see us living forever
Recognizing the impracticality of living forever and the consequences of such a desire.
Or what it means to cast no reflection, to die in the sun
Reflecting on the symbolism of not casting a reflection, potentially alluding to an inability to self-reflect or face truth.
You cast no reflection to anyone you have ever claimed to love
Emphasizing the lack of impact or influence on those claimed to be loved.
There was a time when I once knew you
Recalling a past connection or understanding with someone who is now distant or changed.
I couldn’t see through you, things are much different now
Noticing a transformation in the perception of a person, revealing a different reality.
I can see the light that’s shining behind you, I guess you gotta get used to
Acknowledging a new perspective or understanding, possibly related to personal growth or enlightenment.
People walking right through you now
Feeling unnoticed or disregarded, as if people can easily ignore or pass through the narrator.
You wanted to live like vampires
Reiterating the desire for a vampire-like existence, despite its impracticality.
But you couldn’t see us living forever
Reaffirming the inability to sustain eternal life and the consequences of such a desire.
Or what it means to cast no reflection, to die in the sun
Revisiting the theme of lacking a reflection and the challenges of facing truth or reality.
You cast no reflection, to anyone you had ever claimed to love this bad
Highlighting the absence of influence or impact on those claimed to be loved, emphasizing the negative outcome.
And now you’re a ghost to me, hollow and free
Perceiving the person as a ghost, suggesting a void or absence in the relationship.
