Steeples of the Reaper
Embracing Shadows: Velvetears' Steeples of the Reaper Unveiled
Lyrics
Stranger will you leave by the morning
Feeling like a stranger, questioning if departure is in the morning.
You're laying in place of tomorrow's version of you
You are in the present, representing the future self.
Overthinking my breathing
Overanalyzing and being conscious of one's own breath.
And the last time I lost it
Recalling a previous moment of losing control.
Thought I found god but it was just a dark hue
Mistaking an intense experience for a divine one.
Now I indulge in any form of touch
Engaging in any touch for comfort, paradoxically feeling colder.
That's warm and leaves me colder than I knew
Reflecting on conversations, possibly intimate, in a confined space.
A string of conversations over wine in a small room
Notion of wanting to save others, recognizing limitations.
You know we'd save them if we could but we don't have to
The struggle of being human, represented by steeples guarded by a reaper.
People tryna just be people
Desire to break away from expected sequels in life.
Looks a lot like steeples guarded by a reaper
Perceiving life as deceptive and uncertain.
I don't want the sequel
Contemplation on meeting someone in a place where truth is revealed.
This is too deceitful
Uncertainty about the other person's anticipation.
Wonder if i'll meet you where the light seeps through
Questioning if waiting is mutual or one-sided.
Wonder if you're waiting
A shift to the perspective of another person, possibly a doctor.
Or am I the one who's waiting for you
Being the present embodiment of a future version.
Doctor can I leave by the evening
Overthinking one's own stability and mental state.
I'm laying in place of tomorrow's version of me
Recollection of a past moment of losing control.
Overthinking my stability
A written record of a distressing experience.
And the last time I lost it
Seeking solace in substances that paradoxically intensify loneliness.
It's there on your paper written in black and blue
A secretive conversation, possibly in a clinical setting.
Now I indulge in any last substance
Acknowledging that others might not intervene in personal struggles.
That's warm and leaves me colder than i knew
Humans striving to navigate life, symbolized by steeples guarded by a reaper.
A whispered conversation over beds in a white room
Rejecting the idea of a predictable and expected continuation in life.
You know they'd save me if they could but they don't have to
Feeling deceived and uncertain, echoing the earlier sentiment.
People tryna just be people
Hope and doubt intertwined, questioning the truth of known information.
Looks a lot like steeples guarded by a reaper
Anticipation of encountering someone in a situation of uncertainty.
I don't want the sequel
Uncertainty about the other person's waiting or being waited for.
This is too deceitful
A desire for the truth, even if it contradicts known beliefs.
Wonder if i'll meet you where the light seeps through
An expectation of encountering someone in a dark and challenging situation.
Wonder if you're waiting
The uncertainty of waiting, questioning if it is mutual or one-sided.
Or am I the one who's waiting for you
Imagining meeting someone in a situation colored by uncertainty.
I hope the things i know are lies turn out true
Expressing a hope that known truths are false.
I'll be seeing you in the arms of a dark hue
Expectation of encountering someone in a challenging and deceptive situation.
