The Knowing Dirge Lyrics

Cover art for The Knowing Dirge lyrics by Floater

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. This song is possibly the most transcendental song I have ever heard in my life.

"It's a sort of ode to anyone who is determined to self-explore and, through whatever means, they get a look way deep into themselves. And sometimes when you look deep into yourself it's incredibly horrible, and that can be a learning experience, hopefully. But a lot of people have really terrifying inner voyages, where there's some stuff that they may not have paid any attention to for too long, and now it's real ugly. So there's a lot of self-discovery mixed with fear in "The Knowing Dirge" There's a part of you making itself known that is a little terrifying. I think it's definitely part of human nature, or at least a part of some people's human nature, to self-examine and to kind of dig their hands into their rib cage and feel around, and sometimes that can go a little too far."
