Always Something Wicked
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Dark Intricacies of 'Always Something Wicked'Lyrics
Another daytime drifts its way to shadows
Another day transitions into darkness
So I try to find some refuge in dim lights
Seeking solace in subdued lighting
Blended into crowds of swans and swallows
Blending in with elegant crowds
Hiding myself nameless in plain sight
Concealing identity in plain view
There's no feeling when the juniper hits my lips
No emotional response when consuming juniper
Then it courses all the way to my heart
Juniper's impact reaches the heart
And the faces that I see have turned an twisted
Witnessing distorted faces
So I make my way again into the dark
Retreating into darkness again
'Cause there's always something wicked on the inside
An acknowledgment of internal wickedness
Always something that I need to hide
Constant need to conceal something
Always something wicked on the inside
Reiteration of internal wickedness
Oh, dark and vile
Describing the internal as dark and vile
So I crawl into a church to find redemption
Seeking redemption within a church
And to beg the man that's hanging there on high
Pleading with the crucified figure for a cure
"Oh please will you cure me of this affliction?"
Request for relief from affliction
But his eyes are always turned off to the side
Noticing the distant gaze of the crucified figure
'Cause there's always something wicked on the inside
Highlighting the persistent internal wickedness
Always something that I need to hide
Emphasizing the ongoing need for concealment
Always something wicked on the inside
Reiteration of internal wickedness
Oh, dark and vile
Describing the internal as dark and vile
He who's bathed in black, please let me go
Request to be released by the one bathed in black
He who's bathed in black, please let me go
Repetition of the plea for freedom
'Cause there's always something wicked on the inside
Stressing the perpetual presence of internal wickedness
Always something that I need to hide
Continued need to hide something
Always something wicked on the inside
Reiteration of internal wickedness
Oh, dark and vile
Describing the internal as dark and vile
Oh, dark and vile
Final emphasis on the dark and vile nature within
