Conspire Lyrics
While I lie here burning.
You're encased in ice.
With tainted eyes upon your tainted soul.
It's no wonder I'm so cold.
A terrible thing I'm learing.
As tears are turned to ice.
These four walls will be my dreaded foes.
As I rot here in this hole.
Do you conspire to hold me down?
Do you conspire to hold?
Do you conspire to hold me down?
Have I wasted a dream?
Restless seas will murder me tonight.
As you appease effortlessly.
The open mouths of hungry thieves.
There'll be no silent empathy inside
No colour or shades of hope.
Do you conspire to hold me down?
Do you conspire to hold?
Do you conspire to hold me down?
Have I wasted a dream?
You're encased in ice.
With tainted eyes upon your tainted soul.
It's no wonder I'm so cold.
A terrible thing I'm learing.
As tears are turned to ice.
These four walls will be my dreaded foes.
As I rot here in this hole.
Do you conspire to hold?
Do you conspire to hold me down?
Have I wasted a dream?
As you appease effortlessly.
The open mouths of hungry thieves.
There'll be no silent empathy inside
No colour or shades of hope.
Do you conspire to hold?
Do you conspire to hold me down?
Have I wasted a dream?

I think is about depression.
Specifically I think is about feeling depress and overwhelmed by emotions while the ones (I think it's quite possibly referring to society as whole, like people turn blind eye to the problems around them, or that are too ignorant to comprehend, or something like that; but I guess he could also be referring to someone specific) around you are just effortlessly breezing through life.
-So that's why some parts are talking about opposites, like: While I lie here burning (him) you're encased in ice (others)
-With tainted eyes upon your tainted soul (the tainted soul would be because of the faults committed whether by omission, ignorance or with knowledge)
-It's no wonder I'm so cold A terrible thing I'm learning as tears are turned to ice This are about giving up, he was "burning up" but now he is just cold, numbed
-These four walls will be my dreaded foes As I rot here in this hole this is why I think it is about being depressed, it is really hard to get out of the house, or your room when you are feeling overwhelmed and depressed, so you stay inside, and the more you stay isolated inside the "confort" of your walls the harder it is to get out of the overwhelming feelings that led to the depression in the first place so just begin to rot in the hole you yourself dug
-Restless seas will murder me tonight As you appease effortlessly the open mouths of hungry thieves Again this are like the opposing parts I was talking about, while he is drowning in his own thoughts, the "other" is effortlessly going through life
-There'll be no silent empathy inside No colour or shades of hope And then maybe he is judged by the "other" for feeling too much, like people who don't believe depression is a thing, or that think that you can get out of it by summoning positive thoughts or whatever, but he knows is like that, so even though the there's no empathy to ether side he knows that for him there will still be no color or hope (he will remain overwhelmed and depressed)
reminds me of the Anathema song "Lost Control" lyrically, "I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony"
Great song...
@Existenzleid well, is not really surprising considering Patterson and Moss have both been writing for Antimatter :P I think Moss's song are a little darker than Patterson's but in general they combine so well they seem to be a joint collaboration. I bet they would have been great together if they had put their minds to writing the songs together.
