Molten Lead, Time For Bed
Dreams aflame: Wrestling thoughts in molten lead
Lyrics
It's time for bed
Expressing that it's time to go to sleep
It's time for bed but I'm still in my head
Acknowledging the need for sleep but still mentally active
My head, my head
Emphasizing the preoccupation or turmoil within the mind
A spotted dragon screams under my eyelids
Describing a vivid and possibly disturbing mental image
It nestles in my bed
Imagining a fantastical creature in the bed, adding to mental unrest
I wrestle in my head
Struggling with thoughts or inner conflicts
My sheets are all on fire
Symbolizing intense mental activity with sheets on fire
I'm stompin' on the flames up on my bed
Attempting to control or extinguish mental turmoil
My bed, I wrestle in my head
Continued inner struggle within the confines of the bed
Thoughts are molten lead
Describing thoughts as heavy and burdensome
I wrestle in my head
Repeating the theme of wrestling with thoughts
She calls me up
Introduction of a female character reaching out
I melt inside her voice is spreading wings
Experiencing a profound emotional response to her voice
She sings, I remember everything
Recalling memories and emotions through her singing
I dream I am small
Transitioning to a dream state and feeling small
I'm running through the darkness in her chest
Symbolic imagery of running through darkness within someone's chest
With a torch, I'm running past her ribs
Using a torch to navigate through emotional complexities
I'm running past her ribs
Repetition of running past symbolic ribs, possibly obstacles
I meet a pallid Christ
Encountering a figure representing suffering or sacrifice
He's made of rotting flesh
Depicting a repulsive image, possibly questioning faith or belief
His body clings, he stinks
Emphasizing the unpleasant nature of the depicted figure
He stinks
Reiterating the repulsive quality of the character
I feel compassion for his stink
Feeling empathy or understanding for the unpleasantness
I feel a reverence for his gifts
Expressing respect or admiration for the symbolic gifts
But my heart begins to sink
Experiencing a sense of disappointment or despair
