| Purity Ring – Fineshrine Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is about willing human sacrifice, literally. It's gruesome. It's a story of obsession towards something or someone divine. She's pretty straightforward with the " Cut open my sternum, and pull" she's giving her organs away... Another point to back this up is that the album cover has a goat or a sheep on it, these are animals commonly used in a sacrifice ritual. The music video also backs this up. She's not singing about her "soul" she means literally her innards to be spilt out into the floor in front of the shrine. This song is about pure devotion, and inflicting self harm to express it. Because blood is the most vital thing you could give away. She's so infatuated with this being that she happily sacrifices her body, that's why she sounds so nice when she's singing, she's at peace. But this song is so much darker and scary than people take it for. |

The 9/11 theory is interesting. It's not what its about because this song was realeased long before 9/11, but thats what it makes me think of, a New Yorker watching the towers fall on the roof of his apartment building. "Still falling" The buildings are still falling, and/or the people jumping out of the windows, they are still falling one by one to their death. "Breathless and on, again" The newyorker and all of America is breathless, watching this tragedy happen. "Inside today, beside me today" The whole nation stood together, everybody was crying, strangers hugged strangers. "Around, broken in two" 2 is a reoccurring number in the song. The two twin towers are broken. Our hearts are broken in two, as we watch the tragedy. "Til your eyes shed" This defiantly means crying, balling your eyes out. "Into dust" The towers fall, until there is nothing left but dust. "Like two strangers, turning into dust" Again the number 2, two towers, once standing tall, are now strangers to eachother, turning into dust as they collapse. "Till my hands shook with the way i fear" The newyorker is so afraid, he's shaking. "I could possibly be fading" He's so distraught over this he's fading, sadness overcomes him. "I could feel myself growing colder" He wonders how someone could do something so terrible, wonders why the world has so much evil, he loses faith in it. "Under the fate" He's under this tragedy,like a victim under the rubble, destroyed by it. "It was you, breathless and tall" The WTC was one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world at the time. "I could feel my eyes turning into dust" The dust kicked up from the collapsed buildings gets into his eyes. "And two strangers turning into dust" Once again the number 2, the towers are now strangers, falling into dust. "Turning into dust" Dust flooded the streets of New York city for over 24 hours after the attack. |

| Kanye knows hes a douchebag, asshole, scumbag, and a jerkoff. And he loves it, its what makes him what he is, so he continues to preach about the way he is and how he won't change because its the way he is and always will be. Lets have a toast for Kanye West. | |
