Turpentine
Dystopian Descent: Saint Sleep's Turpentine Tale
Lyrics
Pessimistic pencil pusher
The speaker describes themselves as a negative office worker.
Cooker set to slow with nails left inside it
Expresses a sense of neglect or harm with a slow-cooking metaphor.
Find it hard to not succumb to violence
Struggling against the inclination towards violence.
Bored and glued to television born to rip my insides out
Feeling bored and detached, possibly self-destructive tendencies.
And put them on a shelf to sell to people passing by
Metaphorically removing inner emotions and putting them on display.
Suffer for the bag it's no surprise
Enduring suffering for financial gain without surprise.
Reek of burger meat and pesticides
Smelling of low-quality food and exposure to harmful chemicals.
Regal life supplied by eating chemicals for seasoning
Living a lavish life sustained by consuming chemically processed food.
Feed me msg and pcp
Desire for artificial flavorings and hallucinogenic substances.
Sigils in my food awakening
Imagery of occult symbols in food awakening experiences.
London bridge is burning down
Symbolic reference to chaos or destruction in London.
Don't combust the fevers coming down
A warning against a potential breakdown or crisis.
Swear I'm wasting all my fucking time
Expressing frustration and a sense of wasting time.
The kids are taking baths inside of vats of turpentine
Children engaging in dangerous activities with turpentine.
London bridge is burning down
Reiteration of the destructive situation in London.
Don't combust the fevers coming down
Continued warning against impending trouble.
Swear I'm wasting all my fucking time
Repetition of frustration and time wasting.
The kids are taking baths inside of vats of turpentine
Reiteration of children engaging in risky behavior.
Faucet leaking got resin on the cold tap
A leaking faucet with a substance on the cold tap.
Wrap it up take a gulp when my skin sag
Consuming a substance causing skin deformation.
Snap all my bones reshape for your never-ending bias
Accepting changes for the biased opinions of others.
Torch the block with kerosene and watch
Destroying the neighborhood with flammable materials.
Shove the matches inside the ballot box
Manipulating the voting system with destructive intent.
Batter up we blowing buildings up
Engaging in destructive actions, possibly metaphorical.
And putting ugly dumps on top of them
Further destruction, leaving ugly remnants.
You tell them that you want to make it up the burning ladder
Desire to climb the social or economic ladder despite challenges.
And you getting hit with the fluoride stare
Experiencing the effects of water fluoridation.
Your swear it all makes sense but you couldn't even care
Realization that things make sense but lack of concern.
My heart is dense and packed with fire but the flame is lacking flair
The speaker's heart is passionate, but the flame lacks enthusiasm.
London bridge is burning down
Repetition of the burning situation in London.
Don't combust the fevers coming down
Warning against succumbing to feverish emotions.
Swear I'm wasting all my fucking time
Repetition of frustration and time wasting.
The kids are taking baths inside of vats of turpentine
Children engaging in dangerous activities with turpentine.
London bridge is burning down
Reiteration of the destructive situation in London.
Don't combust the fevers coming down
Continued warning against impending trouble.
Swear I'm wasting all my fucking time
Repetition of frustration and time wasting.
The kids are taking baths inside of vats of turpentine
Reiteration of children engaging in risky behavior.
