Mercury Sills
Journey Through Unseen Realms: Mercury Sills by Michael Timmons
Lyrics
By the light and the mercury our minds within the pack
Reflecting on the influence of light and the unpredictable nature of emotions represented by "mercury" within a group.
And I left those two behind, the breeze against my back
Leaving two elements or aspects behind, possibly symbolic, with a sense of forward movement.
And I offer to the edge of sills, this states my last
Offering or exposing oneself to the edge of sills, indicating vulnerability or openness, stating a final decision or statement.
And as I talk, I see the wind screen begin to crack
While speaking, observing a potential breakdown or disruption, metaphorically portrayed as a cracking windscreen.
And it cracks, and I crack
Highlighting the intensification of the mentioned disruption, with both the situation and the speaker showing signs of cracking.
By the air from the underneath, we drown before the clock
Describing a drowning sensation before a deadline, emphasizing a struggle against time.
And we mist all our best parts, the worst still left in the stock
Acknowledging the loss of positive qualities while negative aspects persist, possibly in the context of personal growth.
I should've loved forgetting this, instead I missed the lot
Expressing regret for not embracing forgetfulness, instead, missing out on opportunities or experiences.
And a remoteness of a sweeping chest, the line begins to snap
Referring to a distance or detachment represented by "remoteness" and the impending failure indicated by a snapping line.
And it snaps, and I snap
Symbolizing a critical point where things break or fall apart, both physically and emotionally.
Now I return with kerosene, the keeper's there
Returning with kerosene, suggesting a potential destructive force or element brought back into the situation.
When I returned you weren't there
Expressing disappointment or surprise at the absence of someone upon the speaker's return.
No you weren't there
Reiterating the absence of the expected person, emphasizing the emotional impact of their absence.
Now I return with kerosene, the keeper's there
Repeating the return with kerosene, hinting at a persistent destructive influence or intention.
When I returned you weren't there
Reiterating the absence of the expected person upon the second return.
You weren't there
Emphasizing the emotional impact of the continued absence of the expected person.
When I returned you weren't there
Repeating the statement about the absence, reinforcing the sense of loss or disappointment.
You weren't there
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person's absence, emphasizing the speaker's return without finding them.
When I return, you weren't there.
Highlighting the persistent theme of the person's absence upon the speaker's return.
