Rule of Nines Lyrics
I offer my life
Cursed in this shrine
Broken roots entwined
And I feel my insides breaking down
I bury it in time
I want to be part of light
Detritus open up my mind
If that’s what you like
Your lesions will blur the line
I, I had a dream of schism, force the Rule of Nines
Living in premonition, flowing from
The same place I learned to give in
It’s such a strange place so full of opposing forces
I, I had a dream of schism, force the Rule of Nines
In time I learned the rules of a sadist
Entwined till there’s nothing left to strain
No body full of pain to take from
They said it’s a cruel world
I learned the rules of a sadist
So I lay myself down in the shape of a body
I live in the figurative
I want to be part of light
Detritus open up my mind
If that’s what you like
Your lesions will blur the line
I, I had a dream of schism, force the Rule of Nines
Living in premonition, flowing from
The same place I learned to give in
It’s such a strange place so full of opposing forces
I, I had a dream of schism, force the Rule of Nines
My shrine
Premonition die
I learn to give
Cursed in this shrine
Broken roots entwined
And I feel my insides breaking down
I bury it in time
I want to be part of light
Detritus open up my mind
If that’s what you like
Your lesions will blur the line
Living in premonition, flowing from
The same place I learned to give in
It’s such a strange place so full of opposing forces
I, I had a dream of schism, force the Rule of Nines
Entwined till there’s nothing left to strain
No body full of pain to take from
They said it’s a cruel world
I learned the rules of a sadist
So I lay myself down in the shape of a body
I live in the figurative
I want to be part of light
Detritus open up my mind
If that’s what you like
Your lesions will blur the line
Living in premonition, flowing from
The same place I learned to give in
It’s such a strange place so full of opposing forces
I, I had a dream of schism, force the Rule of Nines
Premonition die
I learn to give

As for the meaning of the song, the literal is that the Rule of Nines is used to assess the percentage of burns on a body surface of a burn victim. In the songs case I feel the rule is meant to represent a dream of having no physical body to speak of anymore, to just be a form - unencumbered by pain - a free flowing form. In that form, one appreciates what it means to live, by feeling what it's like to figuratively die.
@EternalTearsOfSorrow Thanks for the explanation, It helped me to put the pieces of the puzzle together. yea It seems that the person in this song just killed himself and his soul is flowing at the same place that he commit suicide. Now his soul recognize that he consumed his body like a sadist and ruined it. So his soul wants to go back to body and fix everything. he wants Light (Salvation) but It's too late cuz his lesions (Wounds) don't allow him to do that.
