Lyrics
I think that someone is trying to kill me
Feels like someone is attempting to end my life.
Infecting my blood and destroying my mind
My bloodstream is contaminated, causing damage to my thoughts.
No man of the flesh could ever stop me
No physical being can hinder me.
The fight for this fish is a fight to the death
The struggle I'm engaged in is a fight to the death.
White whale, holy grail
An allusion to a revered and sought-after goal or entity.
White whale, holy grail
Reiteration of the previous line's significance.
What remorseless emperor commands me
Questions the authority dictating actions.
I no longer govern my soul
I no longer have control over my own essence.
I am completely immersed in darkness
I am deeply consumed by darkness.
As I turn my body away from the sun
Turning away from light and positivity.
White whale, holy grail
Repetition of the revered and sought-after entity.
White whale, holy grail
Reaffirmation of the entity's significance.
Split your lungs with blood and thunder
An exhortation to exert oneself vigorously.
When you see the white whale
A sighting of the revered and sought-after entity.
Break your backs and crack your oars men
Urging for extreme effort and sacrifice.
If you wish to prevail
To succeed, one must exert oneself intensely.
This ivory leg is what propels me
An artificial limb acts as my means of movement.
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Weapons raised high in the air.
Aim directly for his crooked brow
Aim directly at the entity's damaged or flawed aspect.
And look him straight in the eye
Face the revered entity directly.
White whale, holy grail
Repeated emphasis on the revered and sought-after entity.
White whale, holy grail
Reiteration of the entity's significance.
