999 Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
Milk such blood
To fare thee lost from all but way
And awaken the sea I light
Our slumbers save the sleep
Wherefore we climb
As atlas carves the veils
And altars spoil a right
What's really real of dream
What's really mine
Starlings brighten, phantoms pale
Underneath a storm
Others fail, others cool
Alarm upon alarm
By fear turn the needed
By fear turn the needed ones
Children's hour
Stillborn ropes by which we hang
And aroused by the scene I lead
The numbers storm the breech to redress relief
So atlas drive the nails
Altars sop the bleach
What's really real of dream
As what's damned to speak
Starlings brighten, phantoms pale
Underneath a storm
Others fail, others cool
Alarm upon alarm
However loved
You are
However loved
You are
You say you
To know this heart as I know yours
To know this heart as I know yours
To know this heart as I know yours
Say a heart is true
To know this heart as I know yours
To know this heart as I know yours
Say a heart is true
The opening lines depict a sense of detachment and transformation, with "Milk such blood" and "Awaken the sea" symbolizing a departure from the known and an awakening to new, possibly unsettling, realities. The imagery of "atlas carves the veils" and "altars spoil a right" further conveys the idea of challenging traditional structures and seeking a deeper truth behind appearances.
In the following verses, the song reflects on the harsh realities and struggles of existence, with references to "children's hour" and "stillborn ropes" symbolizing the pain and futility of certain efforts. The call to "drive the nails" and "sop the bleach" represents a desire to confront and cleanse the darker aspects of life.
The repeated lines about knowing the heart reflect a deep yearning for authenticity and connection. By emphasizing "Say a heart is true," the lyrics convey a desire for genuine emotional understanding and assurance in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
