Decay of Innocence: A Grisly Journey Through Despair
Lyrics
Lyin' around
Depiction of someone being lazy or inactive
Like some goddamn walrus
Comparing the person to a repulsive or unpleasant creature
You make me
Causing disgust or revulsion
Sick to my stomach
Feeling physically ill due to the situation or person
The smell is here
A strong, unpleasant odor is present
Hangs like a killer
The smell is pervasive and ominous, likened to a killer
Hangs like a deadman
Emphasizing the oppressive nature of the smell, likening it to death
And I can't take another day
Feeling unable to endure the situation any longer
Sick
Emphasis on feeling unwell or physically sick
Drunk
Implication of intoxication or being in a state of disarray
Blow
Reference to substance abuse or addiction
Job
Work-related stress or dissatisfaction
The smell is here
Reiteration of the pervasive unpleasant odor
Hangs like a killer
Reemphasizing the suffocating nature of the smell
Hangs like a deadman
Continued comparison of the smell to death
And I can't take another day
Reiterating the inability to cope with the situation
Some kind of bra-wearin'-hairy-fish
Describing someone in an unflattering manner
Droolin' into your dish
Graphic imagery of repulsion
Pastoral
Contrasting peacefulness with the decay of life
Your life is gone
Implication of a wasted or unfulfilled existence
Your youth is over
Reference to aging and loss of vitality
Years of cheer
Alluding to past happiness or joy
Reduced to this
Reduction of a once vibrant life to a miserable state
A crumbling mess
Describing the state of deterioration
On a September morn
Specific time reference within the degradation
Your blood flows by
Metaphorical depiction of blood flowing, possibly symbolizing life
Like a meandering stream
Comparing blood flow to a gentle, wandering stream
Bubbling
Descriptive words for the flow of blood
Gurgling
Further description of the blood's movement
Brook-like
Imagery of a peaceful brook, contrasting with the decay
Baking in the midday sun
Describing the impact of the environment on the decay
Hard on the outside
Contrasting exterior and interior qualities
Soft on the inside
Commenting on the irony or contradiction of the situation
(That's a nice contract)
Sarcastic comment on the situation
I saw you there
Observation of someone in a specific location
Sioux City bound
Geographical reference to someone's destination
In a cornfield
Visual of someone in a desolate place
I saw you there
Reiteration of someone's repulsive state
Stinking
Emphasis on the foul smell
