Cloven Hoof: Unveiling the Dark Dance of Deception
Lyrics
In spite of the lies, we waited so long
In spite of deception, there has been a prolonged wait.
In spite of your eyes, you know it’s so wrong
Despite your apparent knowledge, you acknowledge the wrongdoing.
I’m sick of myself, I’m sick of the scene
Expressing dissatisfaction with oneself and the current situation.
I’m sick of your face and I’m sick of my dreams
Frustration with one's own face and unfulfilled aspirations.
Waited alone, I’m waiting alone
Alone in anticipation, halfway to a state of detachment.
If I could see myself well I’m halfway to gone
If self-reflection were possible, it would reveal a significant departure from the present.
Cut it, cut it, cut it to fit
An urging to cut and shape to conform.
You hide your eyes in your bitterness
Hiding one's eyes in bitterness as a defensive reaction.
With the sharpest of tongues they tell you their lies
Criticism and deceit expressed with sharp tongues.
And with the dullest of knives they gouge out your eyes
Using dull knives as a metaphor for causing harm or pain.
Sleep at your own risk, they’re waiting inside
Cautioning against sleep due to potential dangers within.
The puncture brand wish, A death classified
Describing a wish marked by a puncture, possibly representing a harmful desire.
