Lyrics
Ask man for a sacrifice
Asking man for a sacrifice reflects seeking commitment or dedication.
He'll give excuses
He tends to provide excuses rather than fulfilling the request.
Look deep in his callous vices
Examining the deep-seated flaws and immoral habits within him.
It's what he's made of
His nature is composed of these negative traits.
It's me
The speaker identifies with the negative aspects, claiming, "It's me."
I'm his greed
The speaker embodies greed, suggesting a self-aware acknowledgment.
Look not to the face we're given
Advising not to judge based solely on appearances; there's more beneath the surface.
It's hidden deeper
The true nature is concealed deeper within, beyond the visible exterior.
Look in at the truth that's spoken
Encouraging scrutiny of spoken truths for a genuine understanding.
It's what we're made of
Human essence is comprised of these revealed truths.
It's me
The speaker reiterates identification with these inherent qualities.
This is me
Emphasizing a self-aware declaration, "This is me."
My love is a burning fire
Describing the speaker's love as intense and possibly destructive.
My love is a cage

My love is a funeral pyre

We're coming down to what we feed
Anticipating the consequences of our actions, implying accountability.
Breathe in a smokestack burning
Describing an environment of industrial pollution and degradation.
This is the future
Asserting that the depicted scenario represents the future.
Take in the dead crack yearning
Absorbing the negative consequences of past actions or decisions.
It's what we're made of
Reiterating that human essence is composed of these negative experiences.
It's me
The speaker identifies with these negative experiences, saying, "It's me."
This is me
Reaffirming the self-aware declaration, "This is me."
Ask man for a sacrifice

Highlighting the tendency to provide justifications rather than sacrifice.
Look deep in his callous vices
Delving into the profound flaws and immoral habits within him.
It's what he's made of
Reiterating that his nature is composed of these negative traits.
It's me
Identifying with the negative aspects, stating, "It's me."
Look at me
A direct call for attention to the speaker, saying, "Look at me."
