Embracing Venom: A Journey Through the Depths of Regret
Lyrics
You're gonna stay, you're gonna burn
You will remain, and you will suffer
What was I worth? Well, I'm gonna learn today
What was my value? I am determined to find out today
I wish there was a- Wait
Expressing a pause or hesitation in thought
There was a better way
There must have been a better alternative
But I'm gonna kill you here
Expressing intent to harm someone
And you're gonna die today
Emphasizing the immediacy of causing death
I think you're beautiful
Complimenting the beauty of the person being addressed
More so when dead as opposed to you
Suggesting that the person is more attractive in death than alive
When you had took my life away
Referring to a past event where the person took away the speaker's life
'Cause you could feel my
Addressing the ability of the person to sense the speaker's pain
Pain, now, can't you, loved one?
Reflecting on the impact of the person's actions on the speaker's life
How does it feel to face
Asking the person how it feels to confront their own harmful actions
Your own venom? It's bittersweet
Describing the experience of facing one's own negativity as both painful and satisfying
It's all about tonight
Emphasizing the significance of the current moment
Flooded roads and passageways
Describing flooded paths and corridors
In water, you still look the same
Observing that even in water, the person looks unchanged
And why survive to hate this place?
Questioning the purpose of surviving in a place filled with hatred
The ocean smacks, I taste the waves
Feeling the impact of the ocean with a taste of its waves
20 years you cast away
Referring to two decades of being abandoned or rejected
Crustacean formed around the brain
Describing the formation of a protective layer around the brain
Kitchen chairs will rot away
Anticipating the decay of ordinary domestic objects
Inside the swamp's the safest place
Asserting that the inside of the swamp is the safest location
Open the gates which up I swim
Opening the gates for entry into a particular place, possibly the swamp
Let's do it the easiest way, inviting me in
Suggesting a preferred and easy method of inviting the speaker in
Deep in the lake, deep in the mud
Being in a submerged state in the lake and mud
Push at the dirt, disturbing the dust
Physically interacting with the dirt, causing disturbance to the dust
Look at the teeth, look at his fate
Examining the teeth and fate of a person or creature
Now push up my chin and look at my face
Lifting the speaker's chin to reveal their face
Deep in his mind the feeling remains
Highlighting the lingering emotions in someone's mind
So look at the swamp and remember the place
Encouraging the listener to look at the swamp and remember it
