Lyric discussion by Onedeadchicken 

I'm going to try and keep this simple. There's a certain drive in a person to maintain their survival. This is having one last cry before the end, going down with a fight.
Considering how Maynard writes, lyrics are left pretty vague so you can interpret them as you will, to get you thinking. As an example: Parabola means something WAY different to me now than it did when I first heard it. See also how this album stagnated for so long, I can imagine this was written to get the band off their asses; maintain relevance, stay alive; even though it's likely the end anyways.

Sound the dread alarm, through the primal body; Sound a reveille to be or not to be. Rise, stay the grand finale; stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue.

Favorite moment of the album to me. Take care guys.

@Onedeadchicken what’s up dude hey just thought I’d say hello and give you some feedback on what I think parabola means. Well it’s a parable and see JESUS spoke in parables so it’s a mocking of Christ’s pain and suffering being a lie see by basically saying that this pain were expieriencing is an illusion.... in his parable boils down to if we take that as a literal belief like most people will it really does sound cool to hear and it took me awhile to put it together but it really means what it’s says and in so much...
