White Smoke Lyrics
Put me to rest before it spreads.
It's not long until the bugs eat through to the castle wall and besiege my noble heart.
New flags are raised.
Cut off the gangrened limb.
In case it begins at the neck.
Save yourself from me.
Save yourself from me.
Please, once and for all.
The impact is dead ahead so take the gun and apply the brakes.
I can feel the onset of lust course through my veins.
Help me let go. Hell in holding on.
Help me let go. Hell is holding on.
So relieve me of life.
Give me what I came here to get.
I'm not coming home.
Not coming home.
Not coming home.
Be it undead or dogs, they will come for what's mine.
Though I put up no fight at all it's not my fault.
And so on.
And so on.
And so on.
And so on.
This is not me. This is not me.
You can't mute the virus once it screams your name.
I've changed the guards at the gate for the sake of the king.
This plea is old hat.
These bites are old hat.
This song is old hat.
Every word is old hat.
I'm not coming home.
Not coming home.
Not coming home.
Be it undead or dogs, they will come for what's mine.
Through I put up no fight at all, it's not my fault.
Happy dagger. Make it brief.
Happy dagger. Be brief.
Happy dagger. Make it brief.
Happy dagger. Be brief.
Start the chemical fires.
Chimneys bleed white smoke.
Before the worms even find me the crowd is given new hope.
It's not long until the bugs eat through to the castle wall and besiege my noble heart.
New flags are raised.
Cut off the gangrened limb.
In case it begins at the neck.
Save yourself from me.
Save yourself from me.
The impact is dead ahead so take the gun and apply the brakes.
I can feel the onset of lust course through my veins.
Help me let go. Hell is holding on.
Give me what I came here to get.
I'm not coming home.
Not coming home.
Not coming home.
Though I put up no fight at all it's not my fault.
And so on.
And so on.
And so on.
And so on.
This is not me. This is not me.
I've changed the guards at the gate for the sake of the king.
This plea is old hat.
These bites are old hat.
This song is old hat.
Every word is old hat.
Not coming home.
Not coming home.
Through I put up no fight at all, it's not my fault.
Happy dagger. Make it brief.
Happy dagger. Be brief.
Happy dagger. Make it brief.
Happy dagger. Be brief.
Chimneys bleed white smoke.
Before the worms even find me the crowd is given new hope.

"Happy dagger" is in Romeo and Juliet.
Yeah, I caught that too. I've gone through the entire ETID (while Keith was the main vocalist, ie from Gutter Phenomenon and on) and there are quite a few Romeo and Juliet references, along with some other books I read in English... I forget which books and in which songs, though.

This song is obviously about Euthanasia.
to be honest, I think this whole album is about human strugle with substance abuse...this song in particular about how the 'host' (considering the addiction a virus) wants everyone around him to leave so they wont be dragged underas well... and the fact that he wants his life to end becasue he cant live the way he is. "cant mute the virus, once it screams your name" is saying how once your addicted, theres no turning back... and "realive me of life, give me what I came her to get." he means that he wants the drugs to take all the shit away.
this is more or less a theory, and the only one who knows what this song is about is Keith.
yeah, that's how all of his songs are (I recall reading an interview where Keith said his songwriting process is to get drunk, then to go over it again once he's sober and make [more] sense of it.)
