Lyrics
Give the sacrifice to the flies
Perform a sacrifice for the flies
The one who burns
Referring to someone who experiences intense suffering or punishment
Feeding me and feed the crowd
Provide sustenance for the speaker and the audience
That's our tomb of cold and rotting wombs
Symbolic tomb representing decay and deterioration
That's your network when at work
Metaphor for a corrupt network or system during work
When at work
Reiteration of the corrupted network during work
Life is void of body language
Life lacks genuine communication
Instinct must consume you, it must confuse
Instinct overwhelms, causing confusion
That's our tomb of cold and rotting wombs
Repetition of the tomb metaphor, emphasizing decay
That's our network when at work
Reiteration of the corrupt network during work
When at work
Repetition emphasizing the corrupted nature of work
Clawed and scratched their way, biting through the next rat
Describes a struggle for survival, using rat imagery
Save its own neck, snake consuming snake
Self-preservation, one entity consuming another
Danger culminates in them doing business with another
Danger arises when engaging with others for business
Loss of self-awareness, no sense of warm blood
Loss of self-awareness and empathy
To feel a conscience at all
Lack of conscience in the face of danger
Clawed and scratched their way, biting through the next rat
Repetition of the struggle for survival
Save its own neck, snake consuming snake
Emphasizes self-preservation in a competitive environment
Danger culminates
Highlighting the culmination of danger
Gnawing at the bone, hopeful for its marrow
Symbolic imagery of desire and hope for sustenance
A thousand rats crowded at my back
Overwhelming competition and scarcity
Jealous and left with a hungry taste in malnourished mouths
Envy and hunger in a deprived state
Everyone is hungry
Universal hunger and desperation
We watch our peers, just to see when they fail; a vulture whose habits can't have it
Observing others for their failures, like a vulture
We watch our peers, just to see when they fail, a vulture whose habits won't have it
Repetition emphasizing the vulture-like behavior
Failure!
Emphasizing the concept of failure
Pressure stacks against a city of camels and bricks
Pressure and challenges faced by a community
Whether I like it or not, I am alone in this
Personal isolation in the face of challenges
Live with the dead and decaying, I rot as they rot
Living among decay and deterioration
A viral plague of toxic nostrils, breathe out your violence
Metaphor for a toxic influence spreading
Pressure stacks against this city of camels and bricks
Repetition of pressure and challenges faced by a community
Breathe out your toxic nostrils; breathe out your violence
Emphasizing the toxic influence on the community
Muzzle covered in intangible filth, instant guilt
Metaphorical filth causing guilt and emotional turmoil
A status so emotional
Emphasizing the emotional weight of a particular status
Evolved, single only interested in
Evolution leading to self-interest
My stomach filled and lungs are full of smoke
Physical and emotional consumption
Muzzle covered in filth, insistent guilt
Repetition of guilt and filth imagery
A pistol lays before me and I am broke
Financial and emotional bankruptcy
Just another Cannibal
Identification as a metaphorical cannibal
Gnawing at the bone
Repetition of the bone gnawing imagery
Clawed and scratched their way, biting through the next rat
Repetition of the struggle for survival
Save its own neck, snake consuming snake
Emphasizes self-preservation and consuming others
Danger culminates in them doing business with another
Warning against engaging with others for business
Loss of self-awareness, no sense of warm blood
Loss of empathy and warmth
Clawed and scratched their way, biting through the next rat
Repetition of the struggle for survival
Save its own neck, snake consuming snake, danger culminates
Emphasizes self-preservation and the danger of consuming others
