will introduce the breeze
deceptive colds will come
and play away then run
standing alone, been waiting for this
could this be the day, this shit had to come
standing alone, the cold hits it's wings
I will try and wait for you
because I will free myself throughout you, in you
the darkness bleeds into the seeps of crystal ash
that lay the way for this to come, for this to be
to sweat away the truth
that breathes in breathes out all of this in store
breathe in breathe out defiant little whore
caress the silken strokes of breeze
now passing through your frail wet wings
taste the feeling, tread the line
in this sinful tryst
been waiting just for this
the metamorphosis has now changed you
into something that breathes
that flows, that bleeds, that needs
thirsting, all the time
needing, not find
feening, out of mind
yearning, all the time
intrasecting heaven inside you
(breathe in, breathe out)
I will try and wait for you
because I will free myself throughout you, in you
The lyrics to Etched In Red's song "Intrasection" describe the experience of waiting and hoping for something to come, despite the impending hardships that may follow. The metaphor of a flower being released and introducing a breeze represents the anticipation of something new and refreshing, yet deceptive colds (difficulties) will inevitably come and go. The singer describes standing alone and waiting for this moment to arrive, wondering if "this shit had to come". As the cold hits, they find relief in the snow, but still wait for something else to happen.
The second verse describes darkness bleeding into crystal ash, possibly representing the negative aspects of the situation or experience. However, the singer also acknowledges the importance of persevering through it and sweating away the hard truths that need to be confronted. The line "breathe in breathe out defiant little whore" may be directed towards the self, encouraging strength and defiance while facing the challenge. The singer experiences a metamorphosis that changes them into something that breathes, flows, bleeds, and needs.
The chorus repeats the line "I will try and wait for you/because I will free myself throughout you, in you", suggesting that the singer is willing to endure whatever comes their way in order to achieve something greater. The song ends with the refrain "thirsting, all the time/ needing, not find/feening, out of mind/yearning, all the time/intrasecting heaven inside you", which again highlights the internal struggle between desire and lack of fulfilment.

the darkness bleeds into the seeps of crystal ash
The darkness slowly mixes into the shimmering, crystal-like ashes
that lay the way for this to come, for this to be

Always longing
intrasecting heaven inside you
Exploring the experiences of heaven within oneself
(breathe in, breathe out)
Take a deep breath in, and then slowly release it
I will try and wait for you
I will try to wait patiently for you
because I will free myself throughout you, in you
Because I will find freedom within myself through you.
