Spiral
Mother Of Millions Lyrics

I plead intentions
I'm asking for understanding or forgiveness for the motives behind my actions

I don't have a spine
I lack the courage or moral strength to stand up for what I believe in or make difficult choices

Rapture reeled my dream
I was captivated or overpowered by a strong feeling or idea that influenced my dreams or aspirations

But we all have to die
Death is an inevitable part of life for everyone

Can you see I'm bearing rites?
Can you recognize that I'm carrying out specific rituals or actions that hold significant meaning or symbolism?

Can you see I'm going to bleed?
Can you understand that I'm willing to endure pain or suffering for a greater purpose or cause?

Burn in me, burn on me Spiral.
Let the spiral, a symbol of growth and evolution, consume and transform me with its fire.

Will you speak out in the end?
Will you have the courage to express your true thoughts or feelings before it's too late?

I plead night terrors
I'm asking for empathy or understanding for the frightening experiences that haunt me during sleep

Inside my dome
Within the confines of my mind or headspace

I reeled all echoes in
I pulled back or suppressed all the reverberating thoughts or emotions within me

But we all have to go
Death is an unavoidable fate for every living being

It crawls like shadow
It (death or a negative force) moves silently and with a sense of impending doom

Crouching in thresholds, lurking in the downfall of man
Waiting at the edge of life and death, or hiding in the moments of humanity's failures or weaknesses

It crawls and it paves the way
It advances slowly but surely, paving the path for destruction and negativity

For division and derision and dying desire.
For creating divisions within society, causing conflict and animosity, and killing the spirit of hope and ambition

And an ending that is half a relief
Death can sometimes bring a sense of peace or release from suffering, but it also marks the end of life

And it creates
It (death or negativity) generates or brings about new situations or environments

It creates the kingdom of spineless decisions
It establishes a realm where people make cowardly or unethical choices instead of standing up for what's right

Conclusive incisions replace the skin of sensation with wrapping paper
The final cuts or choices people make feel hollow or meaningless, like wrapping paper used to cover up something that isn't really a gift

And it sounds off
It (death or negativity) creates a noise or atmosphere that feels shameful or wrong

It has the sound of shame
It (death or negativity) carries a sense of guilt or disgrace

And it collects
It (death or negativity) accumulates the aftermath or consequences of its actions

The aftermath of silent stares
The result of people looking on in silence, either in apathy or fear, at the destructive forces around them
