Gathering Fingers Lyrics
I’m going to start a fight, it’s clinging to my eyes
I’d hoped to rely on something else
I’m sure it isn’t right
I know someone should anchor me
But if you had heard the things I did
How anyone like that could live
I’m sorry you had to see this side of me
A mistake has fallen on my knuckles
Desperately, my wish is to maim you
And no one should ever have to feel that way
Taking over the better half of the conscience
No control, no better way to resolve it
Can’t see with the blood seeping
Red and rushed, frozen speech
Stinging scales of skin scraping
Scales and skin scraping
Can’t think with the heart speeding
I’m ashamed this had to be
And no one can take your place
The last thing you see will be this side of me
I’d hoped to rely on something else
I’m sure it isn’t right
I know someone should anchor me
But if you had heard the things I did
How anyone like that could live
Desperately, my wish is to maim you
And no one should ever have to feel that way
No control, no better way to resolve it
Can’t see with the blood seeping
Red and rushed, frozen speech
Stinging scales of skin scraping
Scales and skin scraping
Can’t think with the heart speeding
I’m ashamed this had to be
The last thing you see will be this side of me

First of all, all over the Internet it says "My wish is to main you". That makes absolutely no sense. It's "maim"; figure these things out. Now I don't know if they're alluding to a particular killer in history, or if they are simply expressing personal homicidal thoughts toward an individual, but it definitely has to do with a person's dark side revealing itself. "A mistake has fallen on my knuckles"--to me that indicates that the person's mistake began when she/he first picked up the weapon of choice, be it an ax, baseball bat, anything that ivolves a grip. I'd say it wasn't a gun, because of the maiming part. This person obviously feels remorse, and is not "evil" or bad entirely, but has a dualistic personality. There is an underlying theme of remorse, even though the individual goes through with the violent act.
