Moment of Panic
Dark Tales: Rumbletramp's Eerie Narrative Unveiled
Lyrics
A dog is rotting in the gutter near the tracks in east LA
A disturbing scene in east LA with a decaying dog near the tracks.
The rats all swarm the pavement searching for the source of the decay
Rats are attracted to the decay, symbolizing the search for unpleasant truths.
To gnaw and claw and scrape and scratch its guts with fervid glee
Description of rats eagerly consuming the decaying dog with enthusiasm.
Strip down to the bone and scurry off into the street
Rats strip the remains and scatter into the street, portraying a chaotic aftermath.
Well it's warm and wet and wrecked in ramshackled new orleans
Depiction of the state of ramshackled New Orleans, warm and wrecked.
The gaping hole in the wall matches up so vividly
A comparison between a hole in the wall and a hole in the speaker's ribcage.
With the one in my ribcage the fetid muscle keeping pace
The speaker's damaged heart keeping pace with the impact of whiskey.
With the whiskey it intakes and pumps to my extremities
Connection between whiskey intake and its effect on the speaker's extremities.
So here's to all the gruesome times, here's to the dismay
Toasting to difficult times and acknowledging dismay in life.
Cheers to grotesque growling things that snarl in the dark night
Celebrating grotesque and menacing creatures that lurk in the dark.
The world's a terrifying place, so clutch your loved ones tight
Acknowledgment of the world as a terrifying place, emphasizing the importance of holding loved ones close.
Keep your finger on the trigger and a sharp knife at your side
Encouraging vigilance with a metaphorical trigger and a sharp knife for self-protection.
It's a shivering shaking coldsweat in humid st petersburg
Depicting a cold, sweaty, shivering experience in humid St. Petersburg.
Staring at a strange and sickly face in the mirror
Confrontation with a strange and sickly face in the mirror, suggesting inner turmoil.
Dark and haunted halls, weak with whiskey and withdrawls
Haunted halls weakened by whiskey and withdrawal symptoms.
Trembling fits of fear and the nightly night terrors
Describing trembling fits of fear and nightly night terrors.
I'm screaming at your face in a dismal, dreary mountain town
Expressing frustration and anger in a dismal mountain town.
The roaches in the oven all scatter at the sounds
Roaches in the oven scatter at the speaker's intense words, implying a chaotic environment.
That my tongue contorts to words, I swear this must be hell on earth
Speaker acknowledges speaking hurtful words in a distressed state, feeling like hell on earth.
I'd never mean the things I say but I spit them anyway
Despite not intending harm, the speaker admits to expressing hurtful words impulsively.
