Lyrics
I want to eat the planet
I have a desire to consume the entire planet.
But I don't think that I'm strong enough to stop
I doubt my ability to resist this urge.
This urge that I must purge
This compulsion to consume is something I feel the need to eliminate.
It runs through my veins, it powers my pain
This impulse is ingrained in me, fueling my emotional suffering.
I get this killer feeling
I experience a strong, destructive sensation.
Deep down in my stomach
This feeling originates deep within my stomach.
Which is a cavernous bottomless pit
My stomach is depicted as a vast and insatiable void.
That serves no other purpose than to get filled
It serves no purpose other than to be filled.
Paradoxically and then
Ironically, and then...
Maybe, maybe, maybe
There's uncertainty or hesitation expressed with "maybe."
But I apologize in advance
An apology in advance is offered.
Because I can't have red hands
Avoiding guilt or wrongdoing symbolized by "red hands."
To be caught with I can't help but give in
Despite efforts, I succumb to the desire.
Gluttony is my sin
I acknowledge and embrace gluttony as my sin.
But why is it even a problem
Questioning why gluttony is considered a problem.
It's primal, it's hymenal, it's a ritual
Describing the desire as primal, symbolic, and ritualistic.
For sure I hurt some
Admitting to causing harm to others.
But that's what happens when you're biological
Explaining harm as a consequence of biological nature.
It's a metaphor for my lust, my pride
Interpreting the desire as a metaphor for lust and pride.
I'm jealous, I'm greedy, I'm sloth, I have died
Listing various negative traits: jealousy, greed, sloth, death.
Why isn't it all mine?
Expressing a possessive desire for everything.
Been working so hard, so help me God show me a sign
Seeking a sign from God after hard work.
Oh would you please
An urgent plea for assistance.
Maybe, maybe, maybe
Repetition of uncertainty with "maybe."
But I apologize in advance
Reiteration of the advance apology.
Because I can't have red hands
Restating the aversion to having "red hands."
To be caught with I can't help but give in
Repeating the inevitability of giving in.
Gluttony is my sin
Reaffirmation of gluttony as a sinful behavior.
I've lost my friends and my brain function
Acknowledging the loss of relationships and cognitive function.
My only focus is worldly consumption
Focused solely on material consumption.
Because I'm hungry and I want things
Expressing hunger and desire for possessions.
My heart cries, but my mouth sings
Contrast between emotional turmoil and outward expression.
The rest
Unclear or omitted content.
The rest
-The rest
-The rest
-The rest will follow because
Suggesting a future consequence due to the desire to consume.
I want to eat the planet
Reiteration of the desire to consume the entire planet.
