Lyrics
The top becomes the bottom
The hierarchy or order is inverted; what was once at the top is now at the bottom.
The fantasy becomes reality
Imagination or unreality transforms into actuality or truth.
The conceptions change
Perceptions and ideas undergo a transformation.
The landmarks dissolve
Familiar points of reference disappear or disintegrate.
And all becomes intermingled
Everything becomes mixed or blended together.
To flirt with the despicable
Engaging with the repulsive or morally objectionable.
In a trance without end
Being in a never-ending state of hypnotic trance.
Where the ice burns
A paradoxical state where coldness burns, possibly referring to a contradictory experience.
Like glowing embers
Similar to the previous line, describing a state of intense heat or passion.
And where one shatters
Breaking or fragmenting sporadically, possibly indicating a tumultuous experience.
By fits and starts of sperm
Describing a chaotic and irregular process reminiscent of procreation.
The morale of men
The collective spirit or moral values of humanity.
Serve another god
Devoting oneself to a different deity or belief system.
Lose another dream
Sacrificing one aspiration for another.
Sentiments imprison and leave
Emotions confine and forsake individuals, leaving them defenseless.
Their victims without defence
Love is portrayed as a harmful influence, especially for those who are vulnerable.
Love is a poison which
Love is depicted as a toxic substance thriving in the hearts of the feeble.
Flourishes in the heart of the weak
Weakness or vulnerability makes individuals susceptible to the poison of love.
From the lower world we direct
Guiding undesirable attractions from a lower state of being.
The attraction of the distasteful
Ignoring repulsiveness, possibly driven by a fascination with the unpleasant.
Makes us ignore the vile
Choosing to overlook the morally reprehensible.
Since only from below
Suggesting a better understanding of higher ideals is achieved from a lower perspective.
Can one better see the heights
Insight into greatness or excellence is gained by looking from a lower position.
