Lyrics
Light switch, yellow fever, crawling up your bathroom wall
There's a feeling of unease or sickness symbolized by the mention of yellow fever and a sense of something unsettling climbing a wall.
Singing psychedelic praises to the depths of a china bowl
Referencing drug use or intoxication, likening the experience to praising psychedelic experiences while being sick.
You've got venom in your stomach, you've got poison in your head
Metaphorically, there's negativity and toxicity within oneself, poison affecting thoughts and emotions.
You should have listened to the priest at the confession
A suggestion of regret for not taking advice or guidance that could have prevented problems.
When he offered you the sacred bread
A missed opportunity for spiritual or emotional healing, represented by the offering of sacred bread.
He knows, you know, he knows, you know
An assertion that someone is aware of something crucial about you.
H e knows, you know, but he's got problems
Despite being aware, the person who knows also has their own issues or troubles.
Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mind
Intense and rapid consumption of a substance or experience, causing mental chaos.
Chilling needles freeze emotion, the blind shall lead the blind
A situation where emotions are numbed or paralyzed, allowing those who can't see clearly to lead.
You've got venom in you stomach, you've got poison in your head
Reiteration of the internal negativity and toxicity causing inner conflict.
When your conscience whispered, the vein lines stiffened
An indication that inner warnings were ignored, leading to a state of emotional deadness.
You were walking with the dead
Metaphorically walking amongst those who are emotionally or spiritually disconnected.
He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you know
Reaffirmation that someone is aware of your situation.
He's got experience, he's got experience, he knows, you know
Recognition of the person's experience in understanding your circumstances.
But he's got problems, problems, problems
Despite understanding, this person also faces their own challenges or difficulties.
He knows... slash wrist, scarlet fever, crawled under your bathroom door
Describing self-harm, possibly with a reference to desperation and isolation.
Pumping arteries ooze their problems through the gap that the razor tore
Physical expression of problems and emotional distress.
You've got venom in your stomach, you've got poison in your head
Continued emphasis on internal toxicity and its effects.
You should have listened to your analyst's questions
A suggestion to have paid attention to therapeutic guidance or insight.
When you lay on his leather bed
An image of seeking help but possibly not benefiting from it.
He knows, you know, he knows, you know
Reiteration of someone's knowledge about your situation.
H he knows, you know, but he's got problems
Despite their awareness, this person still grapples with their own issues.
Blank eyes, purple fever, streaming through the frosted pane
An image of detachment or emptiness with a sense of sickness or distress.
You learned your lesson far to late from the links in a chemist chain
Learning a lesson but too late, possibly from the consequences of a drug-related action.
You've got venom in your stomach, you've got poison in your head
Repeated emphasis on internal toxicity causing problems.
You should have stayed at home and talked with father
A suggestion of seeking guidance from a paternal figure, which was neglected.
Listen to the lies he fed
Advice or teachings from the paternal figure that were not heeded.
He knows, you know, he knows, you know,
Reaffirmation of someone being aware of your situation.
He knows, you know, but he's got problems
Even with this awareness, the person with knowledge also faces their own challenges.
He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you know
Repetition of someone's awareness of your circumstances.
He's got experience, he's got experience, he knows, you know
Recognition of the person's experience in understanding your situation.
You know, you know, you know
A confirmation or acknowledgment of comprehension or agreement.
