Lyrics
You get to be so light on your feet
You move gracefully and with agility.
The dead that you summon treat you patiently
The deceased spirits you evoke or invite are patient with you.
The road ahead is paved for you
Your path forward is cleared and made easy for you.
By people whose bones make up the concrete
Those who have faced hardships or suffered greatly (symbolized by their bones) have contributed to making your journey easier.
Your body is red and soft from the shower
Your body is relaxed and tender after a shower.
You glow from a love that was never deflowered
You radiate from a love experience that remained pure and untarnished.
Would you swallow the anger for me
Are you willing to contain or suppress your anger for me?
You've still got enamel on your teeth
You still have the protective covering on your teeth, suggesting youth or a lack of experience.
I grow this rage like a blood-filled egg
I nurture my anger until it's full and ready to burst.
Until I spill open on the sidewalk instead
My anger reaches a breaking point, metaphorically spilling out like an opened wound on the street.
I store my anger in the back of my neck
I keep my anger suppressed or stored in a specific part of my body.
Can you suck it out on my behalf
Can you alleviate or remove my anger in my place?
Doorbarker, can you swallow all this rage
Doorkeeper or gatekeeper, can you manage to contain this immense anger?
Doorbarker, can you swallow all this rage
Repeated line emphasizing the question of whether the gatekeeper can handle the anger.
Can you swallow all this
Continuation of the question about handling the anger.
I eat shame as a comfort meal
I consume shame as a way of comforting myself.
I fear and I fear 'til there's nothing to feel
I continually fear until I become numb and lose the ability to feel.
But a taste of emptiness
However, this numbness leads to a sense of emptiness.
Ferments until it turns to acid
The emptiness becomes stronger and more corrosive over time.
I grow this rage like a blood-filled egg,
Reiteration of nurturing anger until it reaches a breaking point.
Until I spill open on the sidewalk instead
Repetition of anger bursting out, symbolized by spilling on the sidewalk.
I store my anger in the back of my neck
Continued suppression of anger in a specific body part.
Can you suck it out on my behalf
Reiteration of seeking help to alleviate anger.
Doorbarker, can you swallow all this rage
Repeated plea to the gatekeeper or doorkeeper to contain the overwhelming rage.
Doorbarker, can you swallow all this rage
Continued plea emphasizing the magnitude of the anger.
Can you swallow all this
Final repetition of the plea for containment of the rage.
