Sickness in Seattle
Sickness in Seattle: A Soul's Soaring Struggle
Lyrics
The ole ringing in my ears won't stop What's heaven to you?
The persistent ringing in my ears is incessant and ongoing, causing discomfort.
The question that rots
What does paradise or an ideal state mean to you?
All connections severed Supernatural glow
All relationships or ties have been cut off, possibly indicating a sense of isolation or detachment.
Wide eyed
Being alert and attentive, possibly in a state of shock or surprise.
Tongue tied
Unable to speak freely or express thoughts adequately.
Drifting slowly up into the sky
Feeling like I'm ascending slowly into the sky, drifting away.
High above the beating of the drums Sick angel I have become
Feeling removed from reality, distant from earthly sounds and sensations. Despite that, there's a sense of becoming a sick or troubled angel.
El Corazon beneath my feet A mile above the city streets What's heaven to me? Should I come back down?
Being at El Corazon (a venue in Seattle) and contemplating being far above the bustling city streets, questioning what heaven might feel like from that vantage point.
Melt into the front seat Just let go
To merge or dissolve into the car seat, letting all inhibitions go.
Just give in
Accepting the situation without resistance.
Out of body
Feeling detached from one's physical form.
Out of time
Feeling disconnected from the regular passage of time.
Sick to death not sick of life
Experiencing intense sickness but not feeling tired of life itself.
The ole ringing in my ears won't stop Feedback from my soul
Continued ringing in the ears representing a feedback loop from the soul causing discomfort.
Fed back till I rot
Receiving feedback until the soul decays or deteriorates.
Paint the pavement when I come back down
Picturing a scenario where there might be physical consequences when returning to reality.
Wide eyed Tongue tied
Feeling alert and unable to express oneself properly, similar to previous lines.
High above the beating of the drums Sick angel I have become
Feeling removed from surroundings and becoming a troubled or sick angel above the usual noise or chaos.
Spinning out in darkness consumed My soul has broken through
Feeling overwhelmed in darkness but experiencing a breakthrough of one's soul.
The city streets underneath my feet Pain induced, feverish flight Supernatural yellow glow
Being above the city streets, experiencing pain-induced flight with an otherworldly glow, contemplating what heaven means.
What's heaven to me?
Questioning what paradise or an ideal state signifies personally.
Will I ever know?
Uncertainty about ever understanding or experiencing heaven.
The memories start to flood back
Recollection of memories flooding back, stirring emotions in the heart, mind, and body.
To my heart, my mind, my limbs, and my chest All my love and anger sewn
Feelings of both love and anger deeply ingrained in one's being.
Enough is enough if I choose to let go?
Questioning whether it's time to let go and stop enduring the situation.
Conversation outside the van
Hearing a conversation happening externally which brings a return to physical sensations and emotions.
Brings me back to the chills in my hands Soul connects back to its host
Feeling a reconnection of the soul with its physical form due to an external stimulus.
What's heaven to you?
Asking someone else about their perception of paradise or an ideal state.
I'll never know
Resignation to never comprehending or experiencing paradise.
The ole ringing in my ears won't stop What's heaven to you?
Reiteration of the persistent ringing in the ears and questioning what heaven means to someone else.
The question that rots
Continuation of asking about the perception of paradise, similar to previous lines.
Out of body
Similar to earlier lines, feeling detached from one's physical form.
Out of time
Continued detachment from regular time perception.
Sick to death not sick of life
Experiencing intense sickness but not being tired of life.
The ole ringing in my ears won't stop Feedback from my soul
Repeated reference to the discomfort caused by the persistent ringing in the ears, stemming from the soul.
Fed back till I rot
Continued feedback loop causing soul decay or deterioration.
Heaven beyond Will I ever know?
Questioning whether there will ever be an understanding or experience of a heaven beyond.
