This song is about becoming a new person and “killing” the self that once held you back.
It features your favorite solo.
[Verse 1]
I'm falling away, away from myself, away from who I used to be
Arid skin cracked and torn, I peel it away
A change for the better, to harness the strength
And rise more powerful
[Breakdown]
Now more powerful than ever
A decrepit self once animate
Now abandoned and left to rot
Nothing to be salvaged, nothing to be saved
[Verse 2]
Now follow the thrashing thought of your dream to exist
Pursue what may never come
Releasing demons and banishing them to the depths
Of bloody memories and regrets
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
The outer shell is decomposing, releasing a new upgraded self
Bleeding ink reveals the price of expansion
[Breakdown]
Push it down, hold its hideous face below the water
Watch what was become never again
Let nothing stop you for when it lived, it showed no mercy
Now show it no remorse
Cut compassion from your mind
Forget what it means to cherish life
[Verse 4]
Now follow the thrashing thought of your dream to exist
Pursue domination
[Guitar Solo]
