Lyrics
The liquid surrounds me
The liquid surrounding the speaker symbolizes an immersive experience.
My body untouched, unstained
The speaker's body is pure and unaffected, possibly representing a rebirth.
Made again
A suggestion of renewal or recreation of self.
Walls of tissue soak me
The speaker is immersed in walls of tissue, indicating a confined space.
Tightly adjusted
The tissue walls are tightly adjusted, reinforcing the sense of confinement.
My own little cave
The speaker describes this confined space as their own private sanctuary or refuge.
I think it moves
The speaker senses movement within the confined space.
Wobbling motions keep me awake
There are wobbling motions, creating an unsettling atmosphere that keeps the speaker awake.
I can hear its pulse
The speaker can hear a pulse, possibly signifying life or a rhythmic presence.
Pounding, thumping
The pulsing sound is intense, providing a sense of time or existence.
Providing the sense of time
The pulse becomes a measure of time, a rhythmic element in the speaker's existence.
I'm dead weight here
The speaker feels like dead weight in this confined space.
But the mind is at ease here
Despite the physical confinement, the speaker's mind is at ease.
Don't interfere
A plea not to disrupt this mental peace.
There is no sun
There is no external source of light or positivity in this space.
Only memories of a lifetime are lit and intact
The only illumination comes from memories of a lifetime.
I relive my life at double speed
The speaker reflects on their life at an accelerated pace until the final moments.
Until the final moments
This acceleration continues until a crucial event, symbolized by a cracked windscreen.
As the windscreen cracked
A repetition of feeling like dead weight, but the mind remains at ease.
I'm dead weight here
Reiteration of the speaker's mental state in the confined space.
But the mind is at ease here
Emphasis on not disturbing the mental peace within.
Don't interfere
A repeated plea for non-interference.
For the last time and the first time
A pivotal moment of encountering a narrow ray of light for the last and first time.
I come across this narrow ray of light
A metaphorical description of a significant encounter.
Squeezed through the hole
The light is squeezed through a hole, highlighting its rarity.
Unknown faces enters my line of sight
New and unknown faces become visible through the opening.
Mobility from steam
Mobility is regained, and the speaker awakens from a dream.
Woke up from a dream
A shift from a confined space to an awakening state.
Air fills the lungs to produce an inarticulate scream
The speaker experiences an inarticulate scream as air fills the lungs.
In the pace that new impressions appear
The pace of new impressions replaces old memories.
They take the place of the memories, that I hold so dear
New experiences gradually replace cherished memories.
Arms of a baby can't write, and the mouth can't talk
A reflection on the limitations of infancy where communication is non-existent.
A lifetime of experience and dreams
A lifetime of experiences and dreams is left behind.
Left behind
The speaker emphasizes being left behind in the dark.
Left behind in the dark
The speaker cries for reasons that are forgotten.
I cry endlessly, repeatedly for reasons I forget
An expression of emotional turmoil without a clear direction.
How do we deal with these emotions when there's nothing to direct?
Pondering how to cope with emotions when there is no clear focus.
What's the point of a second chance, when all is left behind?
Questioning the significance of a second chance when everything is left behind.
Amnesia - a dive in the well, and I'll see what I might find
Introducing the theme of amnesia as a potential solution to rediscover lost memories.
I tried to hold on to just a picture of you
An attempt to hold onto a memory, likened to a souvenir from a shipwreck.
Like a souvenir from the ship that sank
The fading of the memory despite efforts to preserve it.
But all in all it faded to naught
A realization that everything fades away, leaving only a faint feeling.
A faint feeling remains
Despite the fading, a residual emotion or sensation remains.
But the mind turned blank
The mind becomes blank, suggesting a state of emptiness or loss.
