Death Blossoms

This song is pretty vague, but I think it's still capable of being transcribed. For instance the first two stanzas make little sense to me.

But the chorus kinda tells me that, if you were to look around and compare what's going on to something innocent, that things are branching off into degrading factors, as if they were some sort of, I don't know, blossom of death, hence death blossoms.

Next stanza can be watered down to: people can't control their compulsions, people don't feel a sense of urgency, people don't feel empathy for others, people don't care about each other enough to be meaningful, and what is already in its simplest for, we grow colder.

And I think the stanza after that is almost a defense for the previous one, but in a somewhat sarcastic sense. The question is asked: but is all of this stuff just a game anyways? Just some show, that really has no point? Just something cliche and boring.

And the last thing is the whole, "We eat our own to stay alive." Let me make this known, obviously most bands use metaphorical language quite often, but I'm pretty sure this is meant to be taken literally. And I know everyone likes to think music is up for whatever interpretation you think of, therefore a song means whatever you want it to mean, but if the writer gives a song a certain meaning, then that's the meaning of the song.

That being said, I believe that the meaning of that line is a text book example of us blossoming death; by literally eating our own earthlings. Looking at the song, it follows everything that is being stated; us growing colder, us not having a sense of urgency, us not caring about each other in a meaningful way, us not having self control, us not having a bleeding heart, so we eat our own. And frankly, that's the biggest death blossom there is. You all suck.
