Its narrative content portrays a breaking free from laid foundations and acknowledging one's own destructive influences. LYRICS: The heave, the solemn anxiety The stems cling firmly to its thirsty roots Singular eye, on top of the surface Jugular sigh, chloroplast remains seep out They left, what cloud rained on them? Should my shame be set aside, and left to fester in the ground? Root fissure cracks Laden stem bent Bruised panicle detached Split amethyst petal floats away I left all that I loathe. Shame to lie in the murky bedrock I cut off my invisible blot, to set roots in shallower waters for everyone to see in shallow waters for everyone to see Seedlings spring out No longer obstructed Discoloration fade Closed bell, but safe from myself
