the Trash Dragon's Sway
Unveiling the Trash Dragon's Enigmatic Sway
Lyrics
When the Plough is rusted, and the cloak has mottled
Symbolizing deterioration and aging, when things like tools (Plough) are worn out and garments (cloak) show signs of decay.
As the clock slows it's hand, when the chair will no longer stand...
Describing a moment of decay and collapse, suggesting the slowing down of time and the instability of a supporting object (chair).
There's the Trash Dragon's Sway
Referring to the influence or power of the Trash Dragon, a symbolic entity representing destruction and decay.
What is built shall fall some day, what is hewn shall rot
Everything that's constructed will eventually break or collapse, and anything crafted or shaped will decay over time.
What is sewn shall be ripped away, when what is working now s not
Things that are currently functional will eventually cease to work or be taken away, emphasizing the transient nature of functionality.
There's the Trash Dragon's Sway
Reiterating the presence and impact of the Trash Dragon's influence over decay and destruction.
She wraps herself in freshly broken things
She embraces and surrounds herself with recently broken or discarded objects.
This is her cloak of many colors
Her attire symbolizes the collection of diverse and worn-out items, representing her identity and uniqueness.
Torn and tattered canvasses span her wings...
Her wings are composed of torn and damaged materials, symbolizing her flight or ability to transcend despite imperfections.
Flawed obsidian daggers glitter in her used chewing gums
Sharp and imperfect objects (daggers) shine amidst the things she finds, possibly indicating beauty within imperfection.
What is broken is her domain, things that are lost and will never be found
Her realm consists of broken and irreparable things, items lost beyond recovery.
The rubbish heap and the thrown away
The Trash Dragon's domain includes discarded items and the souls of the lost that linger aimlessly.
And souls that wander aimlessly through the burial ground
Refers to lost souls wandering in a place of restlessness and death, possibly a metaphorical graveyard.
That's the Trash Dragon's Sway
Reiterating the influence or power of the Trash Dragon over this realm of discarded and lost things.
Long forgotten booty of dead man's chests, and their spirits that search and never rest
Items long forgotten and abandoned by their owners, with spirits that continue to seek without finding peace.
Wooden horses that once rocked away, and one armed dolls that feed at her breast
Describing various discarded objects, including toys and remnants of past innocence or joy.
There the Trash Dragon sways
Reinforcing the Trash Dragon's presence in this realm of discarded items and lost spirits.
She wraps herself in freshly broken things
Repetition emphasizing her preference for surrounding herself with newly discarded or broken items.
This is her cloak of many colors
Reiterating the unique attire she wears, composed of diverse and worn-out materials.
Torn and tattered canvasses span her wings
Emphasizing her wings made of torn canvasses, reflecting her ability to soar despite imperfections.
Flawed obsidian daggers, how they glitter
Reiterating the beauty found in imperfect or flawed objects that she collects.
And when she rises
Describing the phenomenon when the Trash Dragon becomes active or takes flight.
A miasma of mold and must Sea dew and rust
Depicting the atmosphere around her, filled with decay, dampness, and the scent of aged substances.
The ragged rot of a thousand aeons rains down
Symbolizing the continuous decay and deterioration raining down over time, perhaps representing the passage of ages.
