Lyrics
I stubbed my smoke out onto
I extinguished my cigarette on Satan's spiral staircase.
Satans spiral staircase
Suggestive of a dark, spiritual or challenging environment.
And he asked me to leave
Satan requests me to depart, leading to my hasty escape.
So I scurried down the drainpipe
I hurriedly descend a drainpipe, navigating through obstacles.
Past the seeping cracks the rats
Passing through deteriorating surroundings and deceased life forms.
And all the dead life
Emphasizing the decay and desolation in the environment.
There was no need
No necessity for the escape, finding refuge under my own authority.
I found shelter under my own lord,
Seeking shelter under my personal sovereignty.
under my own lord
Repetition for emphasis on self-reliance and independence.
I want it all I want it all,
Expressing a desire for abundance, using imagery of stacking on a wall.
Stacked up on a brick wall
-I want it all I want it all,
-Stacked up on a brick wall
-Crack, Crumble. Stacked to tumble
-Crack, crumble. Stacked to tumble
-And just like roaches you scurry when the lights come on
Simile comparing the scattering to roaches when lights turn on.
I kick with the power and the pressure
Describing a powerful kick with the weight of a brutal natured soul.
With the weight of a brutal natured soul
-Ritual in the ruins,
-whose sparks just start to take control
-And I revel in revealing,
-this glass ceiling was always a window
-Lie down, lie down with the lights now
Lying down with lights, possibly suggesting contemplation or surrender.
Lie down, but the lights keep coming
-I want it all I want it all
Reiteration of the desire for abundance, using imagery of stacking and crumbling.
Crack, Crumble
-Stacked to tumble
-Crack, crumble
-Stacked to tumble
-Lies on the outside, try and gaze their toll
Lies on the outside, living with the consequences of a brutal natured soul.
I'm living with the state and the tether
-Of a brutal natured soul.
-Swooning over the terror
Expressing attraction to terror and an unholy hallelujah, posing a question about healing.
An unholy hallelujah ya know,
-Do you fear the feeling part of the healing
Reflecting on the fear associated with letting go as part of the healing process.
Is letting go?
-Lie down, lie down with the lights now
Struggling with letting go, maintaining a tight grip on desires and light.
I bite down but my grip keeps slipping
-I want it all I want it all
-I found shelter in my own lord
-Grip tight let the light shine
-Cause you know I'm never going to let go
-I want it all I want it all,
Final repetition of the desire for abundance, using imagery of stacking and crumbling.
Stacked up on a brick wall
-I want it all I want it all,
-Stacked up on a brick wall
-Crack, Crumble. Stacked to tumble
-Crack, crumble. Stacked to tumble
