Punctures
Embrace the Darkness: Unveiling the Depths of 'Punctures' by Sleeper Service
Lyrics
This town will squeeze the life out of your bones,
This town is oppressive, draining the vitality from your being.
But you're lucky 'cause there's not much left to go
You're fortunate because there's little remaining for this town to take from you.
I want you calm inside
The desire for your inner calm, ensuring the town doesn't lead to your demise.
So this place that you call home won't let you die
Making sure you survive in the place you consider home.
Razor sharp I felt your heart is racing now
Feeling an intense, razor-sharp emotion; your heart races.
You're not listening and glistening in empty dark
You are oblivious, shining in the emptiness of darkness.
I'm helping you becoming more of what you are
Assisting you in becoming more authentic.
But there's parts that need to crumble on their own it's hard
Recognizing that certain aspects must crumble naturally, a difficult process.
Time for making enemies has come and gone
The time for creating enemies is over.
'Cause you've been on your own
Acknowledging your independence, emphasizing that you've faced challenges alone.
Yeah you've been on your own
-And someone you can hate can make you less alone
Having someone to dislike can alleviate loneliness.
Telling me I should go
Receiving advice or pressure to leave.
Telling me I should go
-Torn tongues, I see fire
Observing conflicts and passion, symbolized by torn tongues and fire.
Pouring out your lungs and higher
Expressing intense emotions, possibly through vocalization.
Sworn young on the pyre
A commitment made in youth, possibly involving sacrifice on a pyre.
"Everything is yours, but watch out where you go" 'cause
A warning about ownership and the need for caution in choices.
Round here the blood runs colder than your
Describing the local environment where emotions are colder than usual.
Frozen heart it bites your arms and
Affecting your frozen heart, causing pain and discomfort.
Punctures where the feelings are
Mentioning punctures, indicating emotional wounds or vulnerabilities.
Time for making enemies has come and gone
Reiterating that the time for creating enemies has passed.
'Cause you've been on your own
Emphasizing your history of facing challenges and difficulties alone.
Yeah you've been on your own
-And someone you can hate can make you less alone
Highlighting the companionship that having someone to dislike provides.
Telling me I should go
Receiving advice or pressure to leave, possibly repeated for emphasis.
Telling me I should go
