Sassaquin Lyrics
You wanted everything, you got it, you got it
Your soul departed, ready to die instead
Surrender was days away, or not, I guess
This lonely place, time expires at a snail's pace
Taking the long way down, rudderless
Thread the needle, inches from death
Taking the long way down to Sassaquin to sweat the fever out
Then you got back from hell and brought it back with you
Every move is suspect, another crack in the division bell
"These things take time, you need to be patient"
As I'm pulling the legs off of spiders
It's all talk, it's all excuses
I'm put to the test when you take flight
Always blaming someone, don't blame me
You're staying off of it, you honest-to-god it
Now you're back where you started, in the bathroom hiding
Thought I was blinded, I did nothing about it
It's always you just got out
Your life's struggle but I can't shut my mouth
If this town's your highness, this time let it be me
Asking for the bullet between the king's eyes
Then you got back from hell and brought us back with you
Every move is suspect, another crack in the division bell
Saying "These things take time, you need to be patient"
As I'm pulling the legs off of spiders
You see me talking, but it's just sentences
I put to the death my own advice
Always blaming someone, don't blame me
I blame myself (for nothing)
I see so much of myself in you
Your soul departed, ready to die instead
Surrender was days away, or not, I guess
This lonely place, time expires at a snail's pace
Taking the long way down, rudderless
Thread the needle, inches from death
Taking the long way down to Sassaquin to sweat the fever out
Every move is suspect, another crack in the division bell
"These things take time, you need to be patient"
As I'm pulling the legs off of spiders
It's all talk, it's all excuses
I'm put to the test when you take flight
Now you're back where you started, in the bathroom hiding
Thought I was blinded, I did nothing about it
It's always you just got out
Your life's struggle but I can't shut my mouth
If this town's your highness, this time let it be me
Asking for the bullet between the king's eyes
Every move is suspect, another crack in the division bell
Saying "These things take time, you need to be patient"
As I'm pulling the legs off of spiders
You see me talking, but it's just sentences
I put to the death my own advice
I blame myself (for nothing)
I see so much of myself in you

song about drug abuse/addiction
first verse - drugs offer everything you ever wanted, - You wanted everything, you got it, you got it. thread the needle - self explanatory. surrender was days away - addiction. sassaquin - a drug rehab? time going at a snails pace - from the pov of the friend.
back from hell, crack in the bell - = not high anymore, everyone else suffers hell from the withdrawal. the bell is a UK parliament bell rung when votes are due on devisive matters, ie an ultimatum of sorts (if you miss the bell, you can't vote)
take times/be patient. obvious - recovery takes time. pulling legs off of spiders - be patient, he's doing something worthwhile ( ie pulling the legs off of spiders rather than drugs - google the spider thing) but it takes time
staying off of it, honest to god it. pretty simple, swears to god no more drugs
'thought i was blinded, did nothing about it' perhaps the user thought the singer was blind to the use, or maybe the singer shut his eyes to it in pretence of it not happening, thus did nothing about it.
It's always you just got out Your life's struggle but I can't shut my mouth - always a reason to use, always no matter what it is. can't shut my mouth - saying yea, there's a reason, so what, i can't sit back and watch, i have to say somehting.
If this town's your highness, this time let it be me Asking for the bullet between the king's eyes - the town being the drug. the singer saying you know what, if you choose this then i can't help, i'm done, let me die cos i;m sick of it.
Then you got back from hell and brought us back with you Every move is suspect, another crack in the division bell Saying "These things take time, you need to be patient" As I'm pulling the legs off of spiders You see me talking, but it's just sentences I put to the death my own advice
pulling legs - again, trying to do somehting 'useful' other than drugs. 'talking but just sentences' he's noone without drugs. he damns his advice of being clean.
Always blaming someone, don't blame me I blame myself (for nothing) I see so much of myself in you
could be the user or the singer talking here, probaly a mix of both, back and forth
all this needs to be taken in context and understood with metphors, as the song is written. some parts are blindingly obvious who's talking, others not so. my opinion has not picked a person for each line, as should be obvious, it has double meanings throughout.
cannot believe this album has so few comments re: interprets.
get adding people, amazing album
