RIGHTEO KIDS. So I have no idea what this song is about for certain, but I sure as hell have an idea for you. The main theme is madness. This is inspired by the lyrics, which I will analyze shortly, but also by the melody and the singing style. It's so soothing and calm and slow. But it's soothing in a very eerie way. Makes you think of that tiny little voice in your head that eventually takes over your mind. The voice of insanity, yo. Anyway, lyrical analysis time:
"Feel me in the corner
Beside your mouth
Feel me in the inside of the
Faintest trace of sound"
*~~Assuming that the "me" refers to madness throughout this song, it starts to make a bit more sense. You can never see it, but you can feel it. The "besides your mouth" bit makes me think of someone's mouth twitching. This, I believe, is a common side-effect of certain anti-psychotic drugs. So when you see that twitch it sorta makes you think that this person is mad. Also, finding madness in tiny noises is pretty common. Like the constant dripping of a tap; it's so quiet but it just eats at your sanity. Thus, you "feel" madness.
"It's the fire underwater
Breathing while you drown
Feel me in the saturation
When the sun burns out"
*~~Madness is an absurdity. It's fire underwater. It just exists. And, it also gets more powerful when someone is struggling. While you drown/struggle/suffer trauma, it breathes.
The sun burning out suggests darkness, cold, and the death of everything. So when really bad shit happens that destroys your world, you go crazy.
"I am the one inside you
And I am the one
(Inside your veins)
I am the one inside you
Over and over I'm here again"
*~~Madness is inside you, inside your veins, like a disease. It's always around, so "over and over". Pretty self-explanatory.
"Far beyond the bruising
Something underneath
Feel me in the aftermath when
You learn the world has teeth"
*~~Bruising is a physical injury. A physical injury people can see, people can treat. But madness lies underneath the physical damage. The final line here makes me think of a loss of innocence. Perhaps someone who was raped or mugged. They were hurt physically but most of the damage was psychological. Thus they learned the world is not all sunshine and butterflies because of some scarring event, and in the aftermath they could sense the madness creeping in.
"There is so much more to this than
Phantom limbs for amputees
Here, dissolving through the trauma
This is where You'll feel the breath of me"
*~~The first couple of lines make me think of war, and also Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A soldier loses his arm? NBD! Toss on a fake one. He's healed right? Wrong. Hence there being "more to this" than just fixing physical damage.
When trauma "dissolves", or when the physical injuries heal, there is still mental damage, and often soldiers with such violent injuries end up with PTSD.
