Lyrics
Gag on ash dust
Gagging on the residue of destruction and decay
Orange clouds loom in the summer's frozen chill
Visualizing ominous signs with the juxtaposition of orange clouds in a freezing summer
Winding down, grinding down
Gradually slowing down, wearing away
As our snowballing karma begins to titan
Our negative actions accumulating and growing, reaching a colossal scale
Apocalypse upon us
The impending catastrophic event is approaching
Emptiness is our end
The ultimate consequence is emptiness
Emptiness
A repetition emphasizing the theme of emptiness
Legions of dark divide and surround
Dark forces gather, encircle, and divide
Coming from all parts of this forsaken town
Coming from all directions in a forsaken town
And how to you keep from laughing
Rhetorical question questioning the sincerity of laughter
When you tell me it's alright
Ironically, finding solace in false reassurance
And why do you keep from weeping
Suppressing emotions despite the harsh reality
When you tell me we will see tomorrow
Optimistic statements about the future despite uncertainty
So easily depressed
Easily succumbing to despair
So deeply obsessed
Intensely preoccupied or haunted by something
Worthless we've succumb
Admitting defeat to worthlessness
Meaningless you've all become
Declaring the insignificance of everyone
So much freedom in carelessness
Finding freedom in recklessness and indifference
Everything is in the palm of our sweaty paws
Having control over everything but with a lack of responsibility
Rust to dust, fool proof solutions that draw flies
Foolish and unsuccessful solutions attracting undesirable consequences
Oh how your legs tire
Expressing fatigue and weariness
muscles seize and bones crumble
Physical breakdown and decay
But the urge to run carries on
The desire to escape or resist continues despite hardships
The fire in your eyes rips through the streets
A metaphorical representation of determination or intensity
My taste for it has soured
The enjoyment or enthusiasm for something has diminished
Dead to the world am I
Feeling detached and indifferent to the world
Cause I never had faith in your kind
Lacking faith in the goodness of humanity
Will you still hide your face when he is standing at your back door
A hypothetical scenario questioning reactions to impending danger
When he is sulking through your kitchen
Imagining the intrusive presence of a threatening force
Till he is scratching under your bed
Highlighting the proximity and inevitability of danger
Closer than you think
Emphasizing the closeness of a looming threat
We are all nothing
A profound statement asserting the insignificance of all
