Diamond in the Witch House Lyrics
Wide is the line
Separates the rivers from the dirt
All the while I wonder who's the one
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Can you see there's a child
Standing idle by us in this mess
Who am I to cause this emptiness
Willing the sea
To cleanse my soul of all that've been
To bring me free to this clarity
Clarity
Trouble rolls in
As the tides, they twist and make the turn
Pain subsides and sweeps across the earth again
Willing the sea
To cleanse my soul of all that I've been
To bring me free to this clarity
Clarity
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
I'm standing deep in these waters
Bleeding free and bent to drag us onto new visions
Only loss fills my void
Only loss fills my void
Only loss fills my void
Only the void connects me to the mountains
Of dust blood and soil
The stones born in the flames of truth
Demand a sacrifice
Don't just bleed us and leave us to ourselves
We will return so deeply harmed, and we will shatter you
Separates the rivers from the dirt
All the while I wonder who's the one
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Standing idle by us in this mess
Who am I to cause this emptiness
To cleanse my soul of all that've been
To bring me free to this clarity
Clarity
As the tides, they twist and make the turn
Pain subsides and sweeps across the earth again
To cleanse my soul of all that I've been
To bring me free to this clarity
Clarity
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Within the one and only eye
Bleeding free and bent to drag us onto new visions
Only loss fills my void
Only loss fills my void
Only loss fills my void
Of dust blood and soil
The stones born in the flames of truth
Demand a sacrifice
Don't just bleed us and leave us to ourselves
We will return so deeply harmed, and we will shatter you

Yo, this song is a great outro/intro to the album.
For me this song is about overcoming smth, be it friends or something you used to believe in. The First and and the last passages are parts from a foreign narroter (old beliefs, friends, etc.) these lines cause a conflict with narroter who is about to overcome them.
"Wide is the line Separates the rivers from the dirt All the while I wonder who's the one
Within the one and only eye (we all stood cut free) Within the one and only eye (we all stood cut free) Within the one and only eye (we all stood cut free) Within the one and only eye (Self-blinded to see through the veil)"
The narroter feels he's stuck, he isn't in the flow anymore but at the very beginning he's kind of uncertain about it. But afterall there is only one truth: keep being yourself and stick to your own truth:
"within the one and only eye" "we all stood cut free".
The next part is about the new idea of him. There is a feeling of guilt mixed in. And he starts to question himself.
"Can you see there's a child Standing idle by us in this mess Who am I to cause this emptiness"
"this emptiness" is the hollow feeling he ges from his current situation.
He's ready to face his situation and is taking action giving himself into this new idea and undergoing a change making emotions work on
"Willing the sea to cleanse my soul Of all that I've been To bring me free to this clarity Clarity
Trouble rolls in As the tides, they twist and make the turn Pain subsides And sweeps across the earth again
Willing the sea to cleanse my soul Of all that I've been To bring me free to this clarity Clarity" The insight solidifies.
The next and last part is about the end of his metamorphosis
"I'm standing deep in these waters Bleeding free and bent To drag us onto the new visions Only loss fills my void Only loss fills my void Only loss fills my void
Only the void connects me With these mountains Of dust, blood and soil The stones born in the flames of truth Demand a sacrifice A sacrifice A sacrifice A sacrifice
I'm standing deep in these waters Bleeding free and bent To drag us onto the new visions Only loss fills my void Only loss fills my void Only loss fills my void
Only the void connects me With these mountains Of dust, blood and soil The stones born in the flames of truth Demand a sacrifice A sacrifice A sacrifice A sacrifice
"I'm standing deep in these waters Bleeding free and bent To drag us onto the new visions Only loss fills my void Only loss fills my void Only loss fills my void
Only the void connects me With these mountains Of dust, blood and soil The stones born in the flames of truth Demand a sacrifice A sacrifice A sacrifice A sacrifice
Don't just bleed us and leave us to ourselves We will return so deeply harmed And we will shatter you And we will shatter you And we will shatter you"
The final sacrifice he must pay to move foward is to "bleed out" his old friends/beliefs
Album starts again with "tread lightly"
@d0lphin Mmm definitely agree w/ your interpretation, great closer to the album.

Realizing you're resigned to loneliness.
