The Medusa
Entwined Desires: The Haunted's Medusa Unveiled
Lyrics
She is a saint
She is revered or respected.
Her womb is a place of rejection
Her womb symbolizes a place of refusal or exclusion.
She washes her perfect skin quietly
She cleanses her flawless skin quietly.
And hates me for being real
She harbors resentment towards the speaker for being genuine.
Kill the lights
An instruction to extinguish the lights.
Listen for noises to give you away
Listen for sounds that might reveal your presence.
Sanctuary, sanctuary, sanctuary
Repeated plea for a place of safety.
I need a place where I can feel
The speaker seeks a space where genuine emotions can be felt.
It's like we're all locked up in little cages
A metaphor for feeling confined or restricted.
It's like the ceiling is closing in and the walls
Sensation of being enclosed intensifies.
It's like the walls are closing in, can't you feel that?
The feeling of confinement becomes palpable.
I will turn my eyes away
The speaker decides to look away from something unpleasant.
I will not turn into stone
Declaration not to be emotionally petrified.
No more accusations and lies
Desire to end false accusations and deceit.
She's spreading herself
She is extending or exposing herself.
Flesh giving way to flesh
Flesh yielding to more flesh, possibly symbolic of vulnerability.
I watch her bones
The speaker observes her skeletal structure.
I'm being eaten alive
The speaker feels consumed or destroyed.
Remove the eyes
An urging to eliminate vision or insight.
Remove the eyes
Repetition of the command to remove eyes.
Remove the intention
Eliminate the intention or purpose.
And kill the lights
Reiterate the need to extinguish lights.
Her love is a blinding line of fire
Her love is an intense, blinding force.
To where I stand
Her love is distant and cold, keeping the speaker trapped.
Her love is as cold as her desire
Her love is as chilly as her longing, implying captivity.
And I'll never be free
The speaker feels perpetually confined and unable to escape.
