Morbus Chron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and in the wake of sleep I wish to be shed of old skin
Surmounting the heavens I'd climb higher
to obtain the bliss that I desire
Hitting the nethermost of bottoms I'd dig lower
to reveal the plane I must discover
and in the wake of sleep I'll ride on vigorous wings
The lyrics of "Chains" by Morbus Chron describe the desire to break free from old patterns that have kept the singer chained down. The sand that tucks them in represents the past, a weight that they wish to shed as they enter into a new state of being, symbolized by sleep. The sleep becomes a transformative space, a place where the singer can shed their old skin and emerge anew.
The second verse extends this metaphor of transformation, as the singer seeks to transcend their current state of being and reach a state of bliss. They are willing to climb higher and higher, surmounting the heavens, in order to reach it. But they are also willing to dig deeper and unearth the hidden depths within themselves in order to find the plane they must discover, indicating that they are not just seeking hedonistic pleasure, but a deeper sense of purpose.
Overall, the lyrics of "Chains" are about the struggle to break free from old habits and reach a new level of existence, one that is more aligned with the singer's desires and true purpose.

The sand is cast to tuck me in
I am being buried in the sand as if being tucked in for sleep
and in the wake of sleep I wish to be shed of old skin
I hope to leave behind my old ways and start anew after sleeping
Surmounting the heavens I'd climb higher
I would do anything to reach the highest level of happiness and success
to obtain the bliss that I desire
I am searching for complete and utter happiness
Hitting the nethermost of bottoms I'd dig lower
I am willing to go to the lowest points to find what I'm looking for
to reveal the plane I must discover
I am searching for a new horizon that will bring me the peace I crave
and in the wake of sleep I'll ride on vigorous wings
After sleeping, I hope to be refreshed and uplifted like a bird in flight
