Dead Seeds [*] Lyrics
Wake like pendulum swinging in circles
You can't relate to a world that don't involve your greed
And as I say this the words are pouring from a bleeding mouth
But if I stay here you'll only render me the weak one
So turn that focus back off me now
And go get your broken mirror
The more you get the more you need now (she knows it now)
And it all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black ground you will find it hard to scream
Hey I wish I could find a way to turn this around
But if I play God then everything just goes to seed
And as I say this I hope that you can hear me bleeding out
Oh God I hate this I'm all alone and I am beaten down
So turn that focus back off me now
And go get your broken mirror
The more you get the more you need now (she knows it now)
And it all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black ground you will find it hard to scream
As you spit your blame on me
Please tread softly as you go
I don't have enough to give
And you have robbed me of my hope
The more you get the more you need now (she knows it now)
And it all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black ground you will find it hard to scream
I can't remit this
I can't remit this
As God as my witness
I cannot save from burning now
You can't relate to a world that don't involve your greed
And as I say this the words are pouring from a bleeding mouth
But if I stay here you'll only render me the weak one
So turn that focus back off me now
And go get your broken mirror
And it all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black ground you will find it hard to scream
But if I play God then everything just goes to seed
And as I say this I hope that you can hear me bleeding out
Oh God I hate this I'm all alone and I am beaten down
So turn that focus back off me now
And go get your broken mirror
And it all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black ground you will find it hard to scream
Please tread softly as you go
I don't have enough to give
And you have robbed me of my hope
And it all comes down to your love of misery
Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now)
But in the cold black ground you will find it hard to scream
I can't remit this
As God as my witness
I cannot save from burning now

It's about a bad relationship. She's greedy and always blames him for her actions.
"So turn that focus back off me now, and go get your broken mirror" Broken mirror is a referring to her seeing herself as a perfect person who never does anything wrong.
"The more you get the more you need now, and it all comes down to your love of misery" She creates drama and then tries to play the victim every time
"Consequences plant the seeds now (she knows it now), but the cold black ground, you will find it hard to scream" Basically saying Karma's a bi***, people are realizing she does this to herself
"As you spit your blame on me, please tread softly as you go, I don't have enough to give, and you have robbed me of my hope" He can't take it anymore
Even though they are over, he feels the need to show her why. He tells her that she places entirely too much blame on others. However, she can use her criticism on herself. She is utterly blind to her own mistakes. Nothing he gives is enough for her. "The more you get the more you need now (she knows it now)"
"Hey I wish I could find a way to turn this around But if I play God than everything just goes to seed And as I say this I hope that you can hear me bleeding out Oh God I hate this I'm all alone and beaten down So turn that focus back off me now And go get your broken mirror"
He wishes that it didn't have to be that way but from everything that she has done, they cannot salvage the relationship. He knows that he cannot "play God" and change her. He doesn't want to be alone but his final wish is that she will learn from this.
