about

This track appears to be a disturbing and unsettling song with themes of suffering, darkness, and transformation. The lyrics describe a narrator who is beckoned by a mother figure, possibly representing a source of comfort or guidance. However, the narrator is also weakened by love and comfort and believes that they must undergo actual suffering in order to achieve greatness. The lyrics also include references to blood, ambiance, and locked out hearts, suggesting themes of violence and isolation. The narrator also speaks of taking advantage of a situation and "morph[ing] the situation into [their] advantage," possibly implying a sense of manipulation or deceit. The final lines of the song describe the narrator swimming to the surface and seeing the sun, possibly suggesting a moment of enlightenment or clarity. Overall, this track is a disturbing and unsettling portrayal of suffering and transformation.

lyrics

Dawn Breaks down for the mother she beckons down below she beckons, how am I that draws it’s arms out from behind.. Speaks in numbers, voices shouting phrases, Sickened and Disfigured. The Mother. Removal of space, distance to comfort. Down below, she beckons for my safety. I have been weakened by love and comfort. It’s not the way to greatness. My soul will always beam, but I must train in actual suffering. Actually tasting pain. Actually feeling cold. Water rinses over me once again. My skin releases it’s ability to cover my mind in absolute obedience. Dangerous, I mock the sleeping. Stocked full of blood and ambiance. The locker for my patients grows and tests my grits. My locked out heart. Keep it there. I need it there. I placed it there so I could grow. My seed will poison my life, who am I to blame? My past or society. I take full advantage to morph the situation into my advantage. The tightening of my lapse on my time. Can’t not feel like this isn’t what I needed. To have seen below the water. To breath in the water and gasp for air. I swim to the top. When I surface the sun shines into my eyes. I can see.
