They declare their freedom to play the role of god, to rip hearts out and to be equal with everyone, regardless of which side they take. They crave rawness and refuse to fake insanity, aiming to keep racing until they lose their grip. They yearn for the rush of adrenaline and for the red stream to flow down below, rejecting their deep emotions. The singer sees themselves as a growing seed of pain and the punishment of all, waiting for six cuts in a blink of an eye so they can come inside and get what's theirs.
