Glisten Lyrics

Drawn in
Kneeling, scraping, praying

Her lips glisten
Anticipate
Glisten

Fall into
The burning noise and sting

Her jaws dripping
Sockets glowing
Glisten

That reach hasn't reached me
Her machine has reached me

(She's) Waiting for me to give in
Waiting for me to cease

Cover art for Glisten lyrics by Isis

from a psychoanalytical perspective, the song could be translated as a song about giving into a mother figure that it trying to seduce her child.

Drawn in Kneeling, scraping, praying

  • at first there's reluctance

Her lips glisten Anticipate Glisten -but she's still tempting

Fall into The burning noise and sting

  • an analogy for giving into her temptations

Her jaws dripping Sockets glowing Glisten

  • another metaphor for her attraction to her child

That reach hasn't reached me Her machine has reached me (She's) Waiting for me to give in Waiting for me to cease

  • a final statement about the futility of struggle

anyways, just my interpretation.
