Catacombs
Catacombs Unveiled: Decadence, Compulsion, and Shadows
Lyrics
There now you present yourself
Presenting oneself in a certain manner
Bathing in your glass of help
Indulging in a perceived solution or comfort
Vacant as you're decadent
Empty or lacking substance while being extravagant
Come on get your recompense
Receive what is deserved or compensation
Ooh, now you want to know
Desire to understand or possess something
Yeah, well it's mine to hold
Ownership or control over something
Down to the darkest road
Going into the deepest, most difficult path
Instrument uncovered in shadows, glimmering bones
An object or tool found in darkness, shining faintly
Ooh, come on through
Invitation or encouragement to come forward
What's that you were pining for?
Questioning someone's desires or aspirations
Condescending metaphor?
Using a patronizing comparison or symbol
Ooh, well you came to me
Approaching someone willingly
Yeah, voluntarily
Acting of one's own accord
Clinging to me now in the damp and dim glow
Clutching onto someone in a dark, moist environment
You naïve you can't easily escape me
Suggesting innocence or lack of awareness of the situation
Not that you would know
Unawareness of the predicament or surroundings
Best press on
Continue moving forward despite the circumstances
Exit if you care to try
Offering an option to leave if willing
Chain link as you start to cry
Becoming emotionally distraught while being confined
Brick layer, tier by tier
Building layer upon layer, entrapment
Never to be leaving here
Being stuck or imprisoned without any chance of escape
Ooh, caught wavering
Caught in uncertainty or indecision
Yeah, now I'm savoring
Enjoying or relishing the moment
Every single moment, after all of this time
Treasuring every instance despite the duration
Oh how I imagine the horror to unfold
Imagining the unfolding of a dreadful situation
Ooh, catacombs
A reference to catacombs, often symbolizing confinement or entrapment
