Any ideas on what sort of metaphor could be taken from "only this one holy medium brings me peace of mind"? Thanks..

@Makoe music is his medium

@Makoe more so what he feels is justice

@Makoe regarding the protagonist of the song: The holy medium is the act being performed, the one thing in which he finds solace & piece of mind, e.g.; "I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this - shit, blood, & cum on my hands". On the other hand, regarding Maynard: @wolfecrew22 is probably correct in that music is his medium [as well as his source of temporary sanity & solace from tormenting memories], as the creation of this song was his way of coping with his childhood trauma.
