Lyrics
Height of Decadence
Expressing the pinnacle of moral decline or deterioration.
A
Indicates a section break or transition.
My insides are turning
Anxiety or turmoil within oneself.
Internal fires burning
Intense internal conflicts or passions.
What’s lost can’t be found
Things that are lost cannot be recovered.
Smashed to the ground
A metaphorical representation of destruction and failure.
Picking up all the pieces
Recovering and dealing with the aftermath of emotional destruction.
Of fragmented feelings
Dealing with emotions that are shattered and fragmented.
What you break, you can bend
One can mend what is broken but may not restore it completely.
Foolishly waste, use, expend
Warning against wasteful and thoughtless actions.
B
Indicates a section break or transition.
Height of decadence, innocence
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing moral decline and lost innocence.
Is there a difference, difference
Pondering whether there is a discernible distinction between decadence and innocence.
Do you burn for me the way I do for you
Questioning the reciprocity of romantic or emotional commitment.
Honeyed words, eyes of lust
Describing enticing words and a gaze filled with desire.
Got to have it all before all is dust
An urgent desire to experience everything before it fades away.
Was I dreaming, was it untrue
Uncertainty about the reality of a past experience.
A
Indicates a section break or transition.
The storm in me, raging
Inner turmoil intensifies, accompanied by conflicting emotions.
Conflicted aching
Feeling tortured by thoughts related to oneself and the relationship.
Tormented thoughts
The impact of a smile or gesture, suggesting a struggle to learn from past experiences.
Of you, me and us
Reflecting on the complexities of the relationship involving "you," "me," and the collective "us."
Takes but a smile, perhaps a curve
Simple gestures can have a profound impact, but the speaker struggles to learn from them.
But I’ll never learn
Expressing difficulty in learning from past experiences, possibly related to relationships.
This lesson of death
A metaphorical reference to a recurring theme of mortality and the inevitability of death.
Unreached ’til my final breath
Learning the lesson of mortality remains elusive until the end of one's life.
C
Repetition of inner turmoil and conflict.
The storm in me, raging
Reiteration of internal conflicts and intense passions.
Internal fires burning
Reiteration of the theme of internal fires burning.
This lesson of death
Reiteration of the theme of mortality and the elusive nature of its lesson.
’Til my final breath
Emphasizing the continuity of the lesson on mortality until the very end of life.
