it's time to go into the me below
my morbid self beneath
a peril trip the last way out
i spin as i let go
in spirals down the narrow lines
passing through my aura
spit me out into my mind
a journey through disease
i'm behind my cynic eyes
that stare but can not see
the sickness in me ... beneath ...
i fall in untruthful me the essence of
my thoughts
swirling in a thousand vows endless
truthless
what am i this me beneath
a vain organic lie
that rules me from inside
immobile now i bow before reality itself
it's substance moving through my eyes
my life is transferred once suffused upon
my mind the view erases burns inside
and then another fall
i plunge into a well of lies a cold
perennial flow the vortex of my soul
my morbid self beneath
a peril trip the last way out
i spin as i let go
in spirals down the narrow lines
passing through my aura
spit me out into my mind
a journey through disease
that stare but can not see
the sickness in me ... beneath ...
my thoughts
swirling in a thousand vows endless
truthless
a vain organic lie
that rules me from inside
it's substance moving through my eyes
my life is transferred once suffused upon
my mind the view erases burns inside
and then another fall
perennial flow the vortex of my soul

"Beneath" seems to be a exploration of the subconscious. The sights seen are repulsive to the speaker – "the sickness in me," "a journey through disease," etc. Ultimately, the fundamental question asked is "What am I, this me beneath?" In other words, what is truly lurking beneath the surface self? This song seems to indicate that the answer may be unappealing.
One of my favorites from DEI. A very deep, self-depreciating, reflective look at one's soul.
