Divine Mother (the Tower Crumbles) Lyrics

The divine mother stumbles
Cancer wrapped around her heart
There is no fear here
The eyes of gods kept

Infect fingers pry open the clearest cages
Sickness has been made

Father and sons, stoic fire
Sister's tears protect
There is no fear here
The eyes of gods kept

Measures have been taken

Wipe clean my face, rip clean my heart
Death must seem so distant
That reach has not reached me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

There are a lot of bizarre control tower themes throughout. Perhaps the fall of some idol equated with the fall of a symbolic tower? No controlling force, no direction, everything crumbles...

Celestial is an album that focuses on the dwelling of a person and if you look at it after September 11th, which I have, you feel a different prospective then what Aaron Turner was probably trying to convey, anyways with this EP, which furthers the album of Celestial, which is called Sgnl>05. I personally believe now this album is telling a tale of Nine Eleven through this album, but that is just my opinion
