Still Moving Sinews Lyrics
No-one survives such an attack
and we all stood like monuments
baring the nails in her back
still moving sinews
in a graceful impression of life
shyly the arms, shyly the breasts
fold
fear
die
Ten fingers driven
through the heart, through the core
as I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes
and wonder: (for you / me)
are there demons there?
I knew it all the time. The misanthropes were right
to crucify themselves in the need of a saviour.
Still moving sinews struggle fearsome with a lifeline forlorn,
caught in the nest of the impending dark fate.
Semi-worlds, lifetight lodges
where faces stiffen,
plagued with the frost of disease
our capsules barely meet
The worms of disorder like living black numbers
that drip from her pergament skin
joined in sweet fury to await the decay
fragile and reddened in lifelost array
and we all stood like monuments
baring the nails in her back
still moving sinews
in a graceful impression of life
shyly the arms, shyly the breasts
fear
die
through the heart, through the core
as I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes
and wonder: (for you / me)
are there demons there?
to crucify themselves in the need of a saviour.
Still moving sinews struggle fearsome with a lifeline forlorn,
caught in the nest of the impending dark fate.
where faces stiffen,
plagued with the frost of disease
our capsules barely meet
that drip from her pergament skin
joined in sweet fury to await the decay
fragile and reddened in lifelost array

Semi-worlds, lifetight lodges Where faces stiffen, Plagued with the frost of disease Our capsules barely meet
Any thoughts what these lines are about ? it gives me chills everytime i listen to this verse.
@barış575 same! "Semi-worlds" could mean that we only experience half of our reality because we live in "lifetight lodges" that we built to keep most aspects of life outside ("lifetight" isn't a word but it might be similar to "airtight", so it means that life itself can't come in or go out of that lodge). So I guess it means that we like to control our lives, control what we experience and therefore miss out on a lot of things.

"Where faces stiffen, plagued with the frost of disease" gives me the impression of people hiding their feelings, afraid of human interaction on a completely honest level.
"Our capsules barely meet" might mean that we're very bad at communicating, expressing feelings and understanding others. Our bodies are referred to as "capsules" - that implies two things: Firstly, our personality/consciousness is not part of our body, but contained within it and secondly, that these capsules greatly hinder our abilitiy to really get in touch. That's an amazing line in my opinion because it's also what I feel: It's extremely hard for me to precisely express what I think or feel, so a lot of the meaning already gets lost in the "translation" and then people get me wrong on top of that. ^^
