Lyrics
As the day gave way
Transition from day to Nautical Twilight
To Nautical Twilight
Reference to a specific phase of twilight
I turned my back on
Turning away from a powerful force within
The force of which I am made
Acknowledgment of one's essential nature
I am bound and gagged
Feeling restricted and silenced
Rupturing a delicate balance
Disrupting a delicate equilibrium
When I left my world for his
Leaving personal world for someone else's
Day after day, as my city fades
Daily experience of the fading city
And is swallowed by his sea
City disappearing into the partner's vastness
She is boundless ?
Mysterious, boundless nature of the partner
Even breaking ? home the beach
Possibly describing partner's impact on home
Every alchemist
Alchemy metaphor for transformation
Knows fusion and fission
Understanding the balance of creation and destruction
Can unify or drive a force to spend
Manipulating forces for positive or negative outcomes
He has been possessed to drink of the spices
Desire driven by possession, possibly exotic influences
From the east by his liquid mistress
Reference to a liquid mistress from the East
Which then pushed me into the lair of uranium
Forced into a dangerous situation involving uranium
She divides time between greed and his twin, (some mythological name)
Partner's duality between greed and a mythical figure
Day after day cities are betrayed
Cities betrayed over time
As the earthly sons lay their blades ?
Actions of humans harming the Earth
And she is boundless ?
Reiteration of partner's boundless nature
But by then she has been frayed
Partner's limitless nature has taken a toll
As the night gives way
Shift from night to Nautical dawn
To Nautical dawn I can see I must activate
Acknowledgment of the need to activate inner force
The force of which I am made
Awareness of one's essential nature
