Lyrics
States of waste and bleedways
Refers to degraded conditions and pathways of bleeding
And your strikethrough life for right
Living a life marked by strikeouts for righteousness
And to what lengths to erase
Questioning the extent one would go to eliminate something
Saw Raz smile at the smoky sky down on Turk and Hyde
Observing a person named Raz smiling amid a smoky sky at Turk and Hyde
Penny's worth, skinnier, but still alive
Someone named Penny is thinner but still surviving
Rhododendron dove dome-first
An image of a rhododendron diving headfirst
I saw it all down on Hyde and Turk
Witnessing events at Hyde and Turk
She writhe and worm into that bag
A woman contorting and entering a bag
And she self-inurn
Describing someone putting themselves into an urn
Scars that taunt chains resensitized
Emphasizing scars that provoke sensitized chains
And all your scrapes
Acknowledging all the wounds
And each new disease of our own design
Highlighting new diseases created by humans
States of waste and bleedways
Repetition of the initial theme of waste and bleeding pathways
Ride me double, dangerous
Inviting a risky and thrilling experience
Fly right in, straight into the cyst
Encouraging a direct confrontation with difficulties
When you're sawn or flayed on Pierce and Haight
Imagining a scenario of being cut or skinned at Pierce and Haight
And you lost a day
Experiencing the loss of a day
Scars that taunt chains resensitized
Reiterating the impact of scars on sensitized chains
And all your scrapes
Revisiting and emphasizing all the wounds
And each new disease of our own design
Repeating the idea of new diseases caused by human actions
States of waste
Reiteration of the theme of waste and destruction
And to what lengths to strikethrough life
Questioning the lengths one would go to strike through life
In war in caves
Referencing war and caves as challenging experiences
In words impossible to say
Expressing the difficulty of articulating certain words
In ducts, in vents
Listing various locations including ducts, vents, stations, stages, and tents
In stations, in stages, in tents
Highlighting the pervasive nature of experiences in different settings
We don't
Denying something
We coil up
Describing a coiling or contracting motion
Enclose our ends, our means
Enclosing both ends and means
We don't
Denying something again
We immerse instead
Choosing immersion over something else
In hurt, embed
Immersing in hurt and embedding in experiences
She said
A statement made by a character
Scars that taunt chains resensitized
Reiteration of the impact of scars on sensitized chains
And all your scrapes
Reaffirming the significance of all wounds
And each new disease of our own design
Reemphasizing the creation of new diseases by humans
Scars that taunt chains resensitized
Reiterating the impact of scars on sensitized chains
And all your scrapes
Reaffirming the significance of all wounds
We don't
Denial or rejection of something
We know
A statement asserting knowledge
The real abyss is inside the shell
Describing the true abyss existing within oneself
States of waste
Reiteration of the theme of waste and destruction
And bleedways
Repetition of the idea of bleeding pathways
And we erase
Expressing the act of erasure
