Incarnadine Lyrics
I got it all figured out this time
Don't worry
They'll never take us out alive
Convicting all
But it's us now
We got control
Then I can't hear
And that's why we're locked in the dark
If I knew what you were from the start
Fighting would never be hard
Now we're drooling to tear you apart
Destroying all that you are
10 seconds of blind amusement
The public execution
So come on lets all feel the hate
I feel it....Yeah!
But I'm coming back for more
Excitement....Yeah!
Stop fucking the world to death....
You need it.....Yeah!
I'll kill us all right now....
For this......Yeah!
Cannot stop the rage
A photographs a knife
A question
A path that leads nowhere
To find a place, sometimes safe
And if I find that place
I can finally rest and stop asking about
The how
The where
The reasons competing
The why
The you
The why
The reasons believing
The God
The waste
The lying it's breathing
The man
The hate
The anger it's seething
Behind my eyes
Controls my mind
And feeds on time
So I'll hide inside
And wait until it's over
It felt so good to find an end
Nothing lasts when I am
Drowning for this
Killing for this
I can't stop thinking
I can't stop thinking about
And we'll be alright
While we can find
Our way to the endless light, yeah!
So you can hide inside your fucking mind
And cry because you're still alive
Don't hold your mother fucking breath
Embrace your lonely selfishness
Cause you will never know
The how
The where
The reasons competing
The man
The hate
The anger it's seething
I think this song is about someone Matt lost and now these are his words describing what it felt like to him to lose them. I don't mean lost as in "someone who died," but more of someone who betrayed him, cheated him, or stabbed him in the back.
When you listen to the song it kind of runs all over, with lots of different patterns and changes. Maybe this might be reflecting all the emotions he went through with this person.
I don't thing the song is about god, I think the reference to god is only in there to show that turning to god for questions about how fucked up things in life can be is just a waste of his time.
I looked up the word "incarnadine" and pretty much it seems to be a rather outdated word that is only used in descriptive writing, and in old literature and poetry, but it means "of a flesh color, or blood-red." Synonyms for it are Crimson and any word that associates with blood so maybe the reason he chose this as a name is because he had boiled up to this point and felt like something had to come out. As if he had been put under so much he just got to this point to where he was ready to explode.
My conclusion to what I think the song is about is... in life we often say "you win some, and you lose some." Maybe Matt lost someone and just doesn't understand why things have to be like this. It seems he has pulled every question in his mind as to why this could have happened to him, but still can't figure out why things are like this. That's why torward the end of the song he says...
"But it will never end Don't hold your mother fucking breath Embrace your lonely selfishness"
This is him concluding that he thinks things like this in life are are going to happen to everyone (an endless trial, convicting all), it's just a part of life and now he is left lonely from losing someone and feels he is selfish for wanting to keep them and going through this trial.
I don't think***, not thing. whoops
definately sounds like he trusted someone and then they went and did somthing he thought was the worst thing they could do
i don't know...maybe he voted for bush or something
This is seriously one of the best songs they have. I am looking forward to their new cd.
