Lyrics
Condemned,
Feeling condemned or judged.
My regret is not writing more for you, lord.
Expressing regret for not expressing more devotion to a higher power, likely referring to God.
As this ocean comes to be deeper our vessel becomes less stable,
Metaphorically describing life's challenges as an ocean, and the instability of one's "vessel" (life) as challenges deepen.
Look to the sky.
Encouraging a perspective shift, advising to look to the sky for guidance or inspiration.
Encourage the elements of god,
Encouraging embracing divine aspects or qualities.
Rather than the jars that contain them.
Advising to appreciate the divine qualities themselves rather than the vessels (people) containing them.
If only the ingredients of man were of such elements.
Expressing a desire for human qualities to be as noble as divine elements.
If only.
Expressing a wish for a better alignment of human qualities with divine elements.
With great horror, I admit that we all live off the lust and misfortune of others.
Acknowledging a dark reality that people often thrive on the desires and misfortunes of others.
All lives off the lust and misfortune of others,
Reiterating that everyone's existence is intertwined with the desires and misfortunes of others.
This is vision, not contradiction.
Asserting that this recognition is a form of vision, not a contradiction.
I see greed in the face of a priest,
Observing greed even in supposedly virtuous figures like a priest.
And deterioration in the walls of cathedrals.
Noting decay in the structures of faith, possibly suggesting corruption within religious institutions.
What was right, now wrong,
Highlighting a moral shift, where what was once right is now considered wrong.
Casts a cold reflection on glory,
Suggesting that this shift casts a negative light on glory or virtue.
Look to the sky.
Reiterating the advice to look to the sky, perhaps as a source of hope or guidance despite life's challenges.
