Meat meat blood blood
Repeating the words 'meat' and 'blood' to convey repetition of the same experience, possibly alluding to an exhausting, repetitive cycle.

Sweat sweat meat!
Adding 'sweat' to the repetition, emphasizing the intensity of the experience being repeated and suggesting it's becoming overwhelming.

I close the door
Starting a new stanza with a simple declarative sentence, perhaps symbolizing closing off one's mind or shutting out the outside world.

Shouldn't burn yet
Suggesting a feeling of anticipation or foreboding, a warning that things are about to get intense.

The wires get hotter
Imagery of wires heating up, possibly representing an emotional or psychological pressure building.

Palms are glowing
Physical manifestation of the pressure, with hands glowing as if they're hot from friction or energy.

I'll show you with my fingers
A promise to demonstrate or communicate something, perhaps a warning or a threat.

Draw with the eye
Using sensory imagery to suggest a deeper level of communication that goes beyond words.

With your own breath
Invoking breathing as another form of communication, bringing the listener into the experience.

I'll tear your lungs
A violent, terrifying image that suggests a physical attack but could also be a metaphor for taking someone's breath away.

This side of the blackest meadows
Imagery of a dark, foreboding landscape, suggesting a feeling of being lost or trapped.

I make my winter dwelling
Emphasizing the feeling of being stuck or trapped, with the artist making a dwelling or shelter as if they have no other options.

And crush my bones
A painful image that suggests being consumed or destroyed by the setting or situation.

I'll sail out the window
A sudden shift in imagery, with the singer breaking free and escaping in a sudden and surprising way.

I'll walk down the edge
A continued sense of risk and danger, as if the escape is just as dangerous as the situation they're fleeing from.

I will not finish
A sense of determination or persistence, with the artist indicating they won't give up until they've achieved their goal.

'Till I'm fully satisfied
A sense of satisfaction or fulfillment as the ultimate goal, suggesting that the escape and the risk were worth it.

This is hot meat
Repeating the earlier lines to bring the song full circle, with the intensity of the situation still palpable.

This is metallic blood
An added layer of ominous imagery, with the metallic blood suggesting something inhuman or unnatural about the situation.

This is open sweat
A final emphasis on the physicality of the experience, with the 'open' suggesting an exposure or vulnerability in the situation.
