About:
This track is about the momentous gambles one takes in the course of a relationship and their spiritual, emotional, and financial repercussions.
lyrics
an abundance of elegance.
oh, how wrong were we to gamble on permanence?
if salvation was our intent,
why not take a chance on deliverance?
imprecations struck my ears,
our house of ill-repute was filled with tears.
below me, your gardens sank into the harlequin sea,
as I stood idly by, indolently.
develop from elation,
into malady and exhaustion.
souls fated to coalesce,
eventually acquiesce.
we begrudgingly bifurcate ourselves.
transfixed ourselves upon opalescence and ambiguity.
unwind to find history hidden within my veins and arteries.
a miasma of despair and alcohol,
a soporific antidote steadies the heart.
we’re waking up with blood on the sheets.
our burning wreckage fades to black endlessly now.

Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening. Syobnaf
