Lyrics
It infiltrates, insidious
Referring to a pervasive and harmful influence that infiltrates subtly.
It feints at love, betrays our trust
Describing the deceptive nature of this influence, pretending to be love while betraying trust.
In what we've known since we were born
Highlighting the influence on concepts ingrained in us since birth.
The truth we've found in all we see points to design
Acknowledging a universal truth suggesting a purposeful design in all that we observe.
Still our chests swell
Despite this understanding, our pride and ego cause us to feel a sense of importance.
We'll never find true answers from a wishing well
Rejecting the idea that true answers can be obtained through mere wishing.
So feed us all another lie, to still our thoughts
Cynically expressing the desire for comforting lies to quiet our thoughts.
Appease our pride, so we won't have to change the way
Desiring appeasement of pride to avoid the discomfort of changing our perspectives and behaviors.
We see, we live, we love, we die
Summarizing life's stages: seeing, living, loving, and dying.
Our lust precede, our blasphemy
Highlighting the prioritization of desire and actions that oppose religious or moral principles.
Our logic reads like notes from tainted autopsy
Criticizing a logical approach that resembles examining a corrupted autopsy report.
Our souls they speak of something more
Acknowledging a deeper, spiritual aspect within ourselves that is often ignored.
But we can't look beyond ourselves
Expressing our inability to look beyond our individual selves, limiting our perspective.
We implore empty skies because our hearts hold room
Imploring an indifferent universe because our hearts are focused solely on ourselves.
For no one else
Conveying a lack of room in our hearts for others due to self-centeredness.
We extend our claws to grasp at shadows of the ideas we have lost
Reaching out futilely for remnants of lost ideas, suggesting a struggle against the influence.
Casualties of a subtle dagger
Describing the influence as a subtle dagger causing unnoticed damage.
Buried to the gild in our heart
Metaphorically stating that this influence is deeply embedded in our core beliefs.
Blood on our hands
Admitting guilt and responsibility for the harm caused by the subtle dagger.
