Lyrics
It can't pay attention
Difficulty in maintaining attention.
What slips into the system
Something entering the system unnoticed.
A light touch, a whisper that puts you to sleep
A subtle influence or suggestion that induces sleep.
Don't sympathize with the mystery disease
Advising against sympathizing with an unknown ailment or problem.
All it is is a feeling,
Describing the mysterious ailment as a visceral emotion.
Pain in a dress too revealing,
Pain manifested in a way that is too revealing or uncomfortable.
A lost bond an old friend who likes what it sees
A broken connection with an old friend who approves of the situation.
You can't shake off the mystery disease
Unable to shake off the mysterious ailment.
Lovers in a past life
Recalling past love connections.
Meet in the street close to midnight,
Meeting again in a symbolic place and time.
A last look sweet like the end of a dream,
The final glance reminiscent of the end of a dream.
Then fall back into the mystery disease
Falling back into the enigmatic ailment or problem.
Go on, tell your symptoms to me
Encouraging openness about personal symptoms.
It's not in any of the books you can read
Suggesting that the ailment is not easily understood or documented.
It's no fun to face what you don't get to be,
Highlighting the unpleasantness of facing what one cannot become.
But what's one more to the mystery disease?
Adding one more unknown aspect to the mysterious ailment.
Floating impatience
Describing a sense of restlessness or impatience.
Snuffs my limited sapience
Expressing a limit to understanding or wisdom.
Black smoke as soon as the pressure's released
Dark consequences when pressure or tension is relieved.
Deep space sighs, the mystery disease
Mentions deep space and sighs in connection to the mysterious ailment.
Consumed by a weakness
Being overwhelmed by a vulnerability or lack of strength.
Cut with perpetual unrest
Enduring perpetual unrest and dissatisfaction.
You see stars, sunsets blurred through a screen,
Seeing celestial phenomena through a distorted lens.
Trap what you want, waste what you need
Advice to capture desires and not waste essential needs.
And when the west wind sweeps through the leaves,
When a change occurs, powerful figures may lose their influence.
Emperors of history fall to their knees
A symbolic image of historical rulers succumbing to a force.
Small fronds can't see the wood for the trees,
Small details may be overlooked in the face of a significant problem.
Left in the dust of the mystery disease
Being left behind in the aftermath of the mysterious ailment.
