Glisten Lyrics

Cover art for Glisten lyrics by Isis

from a psychoanalytical perspective, the song could be translated as a song about giving into a mother figure that it trying to seduce her child.

Drawn in Kneeling, scraping, praying

  • at first there's reluctance

Her lips glisten Anticipate Glisten -but she's still tempting

Fall into The burning noise and sting

  • an analogy for giving into her temptations

Her jaws dripping Sockets glowing Glisten

  • another metaphor for her attraction to her child

That reach hasn't reached me Her machine has reached me (She's) Waiting for me to give in Waiting for me to cease

  • a final statement about the futility of struggle

anyways, just my interpretation.
