"Lyrics: Lies Volumes between you and yourself A live one Kneels down" The opening lines suggest a division or separation between the self and one's inner thoughts or feelings. The mention of a "live one" could refer to someone who is alive, contrasting with the idea of being disconnected from oneself. "And when he comes to find you The savior spares yours And takes mine Truth too sharp for your ears to hear Rattled to pieces Over and over" In this section, there is a reference to a savior who comes to find someone. However, the savior only saves the person being referred to as "yours," while the narrator's truth or experience is discarded. The lyrics imply that the truth is too challenging or uncomfortable for the other person to confront or acknowledge. "Kick over the statues You've prayed away one million nights" This section seems to express frustration or anger. The phrase "kick over the statues" suggests a desire to challenge and reject long-held beliefs or traditions. The line about praying away one million nights could refer to the idea of trying to find solace or answers through prayer, but feeling frustrated or unfulfilled by the lack of response. "Termites choke on a splinter He saves yours and takes mine Truth too sharp for your ears to hear Rattled to pieces Over and over" This part continues to highlight the injustice or imbalance in the savior's actions. The metaphor of termites choking on a splinter implies that even smaller, less significant things are given attention while the narrator's truth or experience is ignored. The repetition of "over and over" suggests a pattern or ongoing frustration. "Thoughts not worth their salt Once gold in the womb An afterthought" These lines reflect a sense of devaluation or dismissal. The thoughts or ideas that were once considered valuable or significant are now seen as unimportant, mere afterthoughts. The mention of gold in the womb could symbolize something precious or valuable within oneself that has been disregarded or overlooked. "There's gold in the womb Gold in the womb, Gold in the womb" This repetition of "gold in the womb" reinforces the idea that there is something precious or valuable within oneself that is being disregarded or overlooked. It may serve as a reminder of the untapped potential or worth that is not being recognized.
