Death Mask
Eternal Struggle: Unveiling the Enigmatic Journey of Death Mask
Lyrics
Where is this death mask you promised me
Questioning the absence of a promised death mask, symbolizing a transformative or protective identity.
Building up callouses, cutting my teeth
Experiencing challenges and hardships, metaphorically depicted as building callouses and learning.
Got a head full of thoughts you'd call heresy
A mind filled with unconventional thoughts considered heretical by societal standards.
The end's a beginning and just out of reach
Suggesting that the end is a new beginning, but it remains elusive or difficult to attain.
The shell has been tarnished all rotted and bruised
Describing a damaged and worn outer self, marked by scars that replace the innocence of youth.
Counting these scars that stand place of my youth
Reflecting on past experiences and wounds that define one's identity.
Can't pardon myself for this peril I'm bound
Unable to forgive oneself for a perilous situation, possibly a consequence of past actions.
My penance is served when I'm flesh underground
Penitence is fulfilled when buried in the ground, suggesting a resolution through death.
Don't make me porcelain; don't try to soothe
Rejecting the idea of becoming fragile or delicate, and resisting attempts to console.
Don't fight this torture; never break loose
Embracing suffering and refusing to break free from the torment.
Where is this death mask you promised me
Repetition of the desire for the promised death mask, emphasizing its importance.
Building up callouses, cutting my teeth
Continuation of the journey, accumulating resilience and wisdom through experience.
Got a head full of thoughts you'd call heresy
A mind filled with unorthodox thoughts, challenging conventional beliefs.
The end's a beginning and just out of reach
Reiterating that the end symbolizes a new beginning that remains just out of reach.
Woke up screaming cold sweats in my sleep
Awakening with intense fear and anxiety, trapped beneath overwhelming static.
Seething static I'm trapped underneath
The narrator feels confined and restricted by an existence they haunt.
This being I haunt never wanted much more
The desire to escape the limitations of the current self, wishing for a rebirth.
Than out of this skin that I can't be unborn
Yearning to shed the current skin and be reborn into a new existence.
Thanks for all you didn't do
Expressing gratitude for things not done, possibly sarcastically acknowledging unfulfilled promises.
Thank you for the steam
Acknowledging gratitude for something symbolic, perhaps the release of emotional steam.
Thank you for the metaphor
Expressing thanks for metaphorical elements, possibly related to coping mechanisms.
Stand there while I bleed
A request for support or acknowledgment while going through emotional pain and vulnerability.
Where is this death mask you promised me
Repetition of the longing for the promised death mask, underscoring its significance.
Building up callouses, cutting my teeth
Continued resilience-building and learning, cutting through challenges and difficulties.
Got a head full of thoughts you'd call heresy
Persistent thoughts diverging from societal norms, challenging established beliefs.
The end's a beginning and just out of reach
Reiterating the theme that the end signifies a new beginning, just beyond one's grasp.
Just out of reach
Emphasizing the elusive nature of the new beginning or transformation.
