Lyrics
By the end of the bout
Describing the conclusion of a fight or struggle.
He was punched out
He was exhausted or defeated by punches.
Fists capsized, muscles shouting
Intense physical engagement, with muscles overwhelmed.
Deeper down, he felt the insult of a kiss
Feeling hurt or offended by a kiss, suggesting complex emotions.
Deeper still than we can go
Refers to emotional depths that are hard to reach or understand.
Further out than triremes row
Emphasizes a vast, unreachable distance, using the metaphor of ancient triremes.
Drowning slow
Suggests a slow and gradual emotional submersion or decline.
His memories persist
Persistent memories despite emotional challenges.
Out beyond the telescopes prowl
Describing a space beyond ordinary perception, possibly metaphorical.
Up above the towers touched up pile
High towers, possibly symbolizing societal structures, and their embellishment.
He realized, this mystery is his
The realization that the mystery being discussed is personal or internal.
Underneath the ocean floor
Refers to unexplored depths within oneself, comparing it to the ocean floor.
The part of who we are, we don't explore
Highlighting neglected aspects of one's identity.
I adore the meaninglessness of the this
Expressing admiration for the lack of clear meaning or purpose in the discussed matters.
We can express
The ability to communicate or convey emotions.
By the end of the bout
Repetition of the earlier fight scenario, reinforcing a theme.
He was punched out
Reiteration of being defeated in a physical altercation.
Fists capsized, muscles shouting
Recurrence of the intense physical struggle and its aftermath.
Deeper down, he felt the comfort of a kiss
Feeling solace or comfort from a kiss after the fight, introducing a contrasting emotion.
