Insipid fumes fromst the atrabilious chimney
Whilst in the sanctified crevet I pillage
For human slag
Still steaming in the crematorium's pyre

Bio-organic ebullition, bones tar, tallow dehydrates
For my deleterious horticulture so that I may cultivate
Spumous erubescent death

Your mortal mechanism dies
In nutrients rich
In the hallowed turf you die

Charred sinew's as lime, no phosphates do I need
Deteriorated flesh as top-soil, to replenish and nourish
Spreading this human potash, as ash matured
Recycling my rich harvest, bring out your dead
For use as manure

Irrigating tears are shed, but the ground still must be fed
And there's no rest for the dead
Spumous erubescent death

Tipping and dusting up the spilt contents of urns
Every morsel that glows as embers on the fire
Extinguishing all hope of beatrific dispatch
These charred chassis desired

Exquisite rites now performed, a coronary sooting up the flu
Enter my execrable inferno

The nitrogen content's high
But the flesh is weak
At the graveside mourners cry
You're never to wake again

Burnt brisket renews the ground, to germinate my seed
Cremated bodies are my spoil, to use them as plant-feed
Ploughing this abhorrent human manure
Seedling my rich harvest, bring out your dead
For the soils to devour

Dry the dead are bled, because the ground must be fed
And there's still no rest for the dead

I propagate
Dust in the grate
Spumous Erubescent death

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, diluted in water and sprayed on crops
Charcoal, fats, flesh and soot fertilising pasture

Incumbent, latent calories are spent

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, renewing the land with corpses corrupt
Mortuary scrapings, hearses a must
Harvesting the defouled, to fertilise my soil
Rejuvenating the spent with my fecundate spoils

Reaping the gone, to nourish the land
Replenishing exhausted pasture with my uncanny sleight of hand
Restoring the unnatural balance, sowing my seed
Defalcating the departed, I rapt and glean

So I recite my contrite lament, lacrimation for the dead
Their rest which I disturb
Where should stand row upon row of cold grey remembrance stones
My cash crops now grow

Spumous erubescent death

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
