The Unread Palm
Spiral Shame: Embracing Misfortune and Broken Hearts
Lyrics
As a palm reads of misfortune, you are meant for the fist
One's destiny is foretold like a palm reading, suggesting a life of conflict and struggle.
To reject fate is a torture
Choosing to resist or go against one's predetermined fate is a painful experience.
I can tell you how hard it hits
The impact of resisting fate is emphasized, expressing the difficulty it brings.
The vast shades of dull grey multiply
A depiction of a gloomy and monotonous existence, with shades of dull grey intensifying.
You will bend, never break
Enduring challenges without breaking, displaying resilience.
With a passive disillusion to the trees
Approaching life with a passive disillusionment, disconnected from the natural world.
And a curse deeply rooted as I count all of my rings
A curse deeply ingrained, symbolized by counting rings, possibly representing age or experiences.
A cascade of old shame floods the soul
A flood of old shame overwhelms the soul, confronting past mistakes.
Let it wash over me
Embracing and allowing the cleansing effect of shame to wash over the individual.
A cascade of undying shame
A continuous experience of enduring shame, suggesting it is inescapable.
Misfortune, from which you came
Acknowledging misfortune as a fundamental part of one's origin.
Even illiterate minds can open and read you
Suggesting that even those who cannot read well can understand and perceive the person's struggles.
A line of heart ends, the reading was true
A relationship ends, and the palm reading is confirmed as accurate.
To the fact that you follow in footsteps walked on paved roads
Following a path already taken, perhaps one marked by difficulties.
To the fact that you try to find false pride in this hell hole
Seeking false pride in a challenging environment.
In spiral shame
An immersion in a shame that spirals inward, suggesting a deep emotional struggle.
Don't become a victim to your own heart
Warning against becoming a victim of one's own emotions or desires.
because some are made to be broken
Recognition that some hearts are meant to be broken, part of the natural order.
And some are thriving and full
Contrasting individuals, some thriving while others remain unfulfilled.
Unfit for living inside of a box
Being unsuitable for a confined and restricted life, refusing to conform.
In a palm that reads misfortune
Reiterating the theme of a palm predicting misfortune.
Despite any efforts of valor the reading was true
Despite attempts at valor, the predicted misfortune remains true.
To the fact that you wallow in sorrow to the same songs
Indulging in sorrow and nostalgia, represented by repeating the same songs.
To the fact that you choose to plant roots where you don't belong
Choosing to establish roots in a place or situation that is not conducive to growth.
In spiral shame
A continuation of the theme of shame spiraling inward.
If horses were wishes my ride would end soon
An expression of a desire for an end to personal struggles and challenges.
My wishes never come true
Expressing a sense of unfulfilled wishes and dreams.
I want every breath, nothingness, an abyss manifested
A yearning for a profound and existential experience, embracing nothingness.
They say fake it until you make do
Encouraging the idea of pretending or faking confidence until success is achieved.
Most never will
Recognizing that not everyone succeeds in overcoming their challenges.
The read stays true
Affirmation that the palm reading, or destiny, remains true.
These hands have serpents inside
A metaphorical description of internal struggles, with serpents representing inner demons.
Slither, coil, and writhe
Depicting the unsettling and restless nature of internal conflicts.
