Cassiopeia

This song is about an abusive lover who is killed in their sleep by the one they have been abusing. The first stanza talks about feathers, the mattres flexing as if someone is a wake and moving. This will defeat the plan to kill the abuser if they do in fact wake up. " The hexes heat covertly" This is done in secret, "His meaty mitts cant hurt Me". Her will is compounded meaning she has summed up the courage to go through with it. The steel string being used to strangle the abuser is unwound only when it is found out that they are a sleep and vulnerable. "And in store are dreams so daring that the night can't stop from staring. I'll swim sweetly as a herring" She will kill the abuser and will be at peace there after." A quiet hum is amplified by your thumb, that you suck dry" This symbolizes the struggle. Tthe room was quiet before but now after being strangled the abuser yells and begs and pleads as if he were a child sucking their thumb."Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopeia." The abuser is losing oxygen dying moving towards the heavnes i.e. cassiopeia
