'Where are you? Are you hiding from me? Are you still looking for things that no-one else can see?' - Worrying if you still have cancerous cells or if they will reappear. - Metastasis - traveling through the body forming new tumors. 'Where are you? Are you in some place that we cannot reach?' - Non reachable tumor/cells. 'Are you bathing in moonlight or drowned on the beach?' - Moonlight = Internal - Beach = External 'Where are you? Are you surrounded by things we cannot penetrate?' - Deeply impeded, hard or impossible to reach. 'Is the cage you love the home you also hate?' - Thrives/Lives in the body but also destroys it. 'Your fear of death attracts such strange objects' - Cancer spreading, hard to eliminate. As if it's scared of death it moves around the body. - Strange objects being medical instruments. 'Smothering you, hiding you, don't let it spoil you' - Chemo shrinking cancerous cells. 'Show yourself so the others may see you So the others may feed you They want to be near you' - Cells growing, spreading. 'If you can't get enough of your hypnotic injection Then it's time to put an end to this invalid function' - Killing the cells. Ending the illness. 'Poor little ghost boy Let me be your human toy' - It can be invisible but it takes control of the body. 'Where are you? No-one's seen you for years Have your wounds grown wings? Are you feasting on fears?' - Cancer reamerging and growing. Cells spreading for fear of death. 'I can see your dark corona is eating into you' - Cell becoming cancerous. 'Life lies with the scissors inside her The surgeon was a butcher' - The life/scissors are the cancer cells, cutting away the body. - Wounds from surgery. 'All of us are wounded, anaesthetised in A.E. Numbed by stuff we should not see' - Cancer patients on medicine. Distress from the ward. 'Each of us lies bleeding Our rivers intermingling' - Rivers of blood. 'I'll wrap my last kiss in a bandage' - Death bed. ~ This may be an overly logical interpretation. At times I also thought it could relate to heroin addiction. Please let me know what you think. |
