Spitting from on High
Navigating Shadows: Unraveling the Depths of 'Spitting from on High'
Lyrics
It's against the law
Refers to an act that is prohibited by law
To turn on any light
Suggests a prohibition against illuminating any light source
So how do you know
Raises the question of navigating or making choices without guidance
Which way to go?
Reflects uncertainty about the correct direction or decision
Now you have to doubt
Emphasizes the introduction of doubt or skepticism
How're you gonna write
Poses a challenge regarding the ability to document or express something
The whole thing down?
Highlights the difficulty of recording or summarizing an entire experience
To the heart of the land
Suggests a journey or exploration into the core or essence of a place
Reach out your hand
Encourages reaching out or making a connection
Open your mouth
Symbolizes speaking or expressing oneself
Breathe in the sand
Implies an act of breathing or experiencing something fundamental
Remember how to breathe
Recalls the necessity of basic functions, even in challenging situations
When you're underwater
Advises on how to manage in difficult circumstances, like being submerged
Remember how to see in the dark
Encourages finding ways to perceive or understand despite lack of light
Put your gills on
Metaphorically suggests adapting to an environment by using unconventional means
We are going swimming
Announces an action of diving or immersing into a situation
It will take all our lights
Stresses the necessity of using all available resources to comprehend something
To read the words
Implies the need for extensive effort to interpret or understand hidden information
written on the ocean floor
Suggests seeking profound insights that may be obscured or hidden
Muster everything you've got
Urges utilizing all capabilities or resources
Learn to breathe
Encourages adaptation to challenging circumstances, like learning to breathe underwater
Underwater, underwater
Reiterates the idea of functioning in challenging conditions
Earn your keep
Emphasizes the concept of proving one's worth through effort or action
Earn your keep
Reiterates the previous line's emphasis on proving oneself
Down In the deep
Suggests being in a profound or challenging situation
