The Seal
Siva Six Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pain is breathing
Walks in corridors
Your skin's a passage
Your flesh: a door

Fragile bleeding
Lust blooms pain
To rape the angels
To shrine the vain

Justify the rope around you
Glorify the pain inside you
Close your eyes and die
Close your eyes and die again

Glorify the rope around you
Justify the pain inside you
Feel the seal of pain
Open eyed and dead again

Learn from nothing
Stare into my eyes
Shed all fear
Come all your lies

Sink in nothing
Learn the end
All flesh opens
All tears shed

Justify the rope around you
Glorify the pain inside you
Close your eyes and die
Close your eyes and die again

Glorify the rope around you
Justify the pain inside you
Feel the seal of pain
Open eyed and dead again

Justify the rope around you
Glorify the pain inside you
Close your eyes and die
Close your eyes and die again

Glorify the rope around you
Justify the pain inside you




Feel the seal of pain
Open eyed and dead again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Seal" by Siva Six are haunting, to say the least. The song explores the themes of pain, lust, and death. The opening lines "Pain is breathing, walks in corridors. Your skin's a passage, your flesh: a door" sets the tone for the rest of the song. It depicts pain as an ever-present entity that we cannot escape from, and our skin and flesh as a means for pain to enter our bodies.


The next two lines, "Fragile bleeding, lust blooms pain. To rape the angels, to shrine the vain" seems to suggest that pain and lust are intertwined, and that we might be drawn towards pain through the lure of pleasure, even if it leads to destructive actions such as raping angels. The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Justify the rope around you, glorify the pain inside you. Close your eyes and die, close your eyes and die again," suggesting that with pain, we might eventually become numb to it, and even seek it out, justifying it as a necessary part of our existence.


The lyrics of "The Seal" can be interpreted in many different ways, but they all seem to point towards the inevitability of pain and the struggle to deal with it. The song portrays pain as something we must endure as we walk through the corridors of life.
