About this episode

The episode explores themes of self-hatred and personal ascension through poetic lyrics.

[Verse 1] We wield the sword march into the new land only to find it a repeat of the trauma the deep disappointment of replay Sound upon sound Light upon light The same face The same beauty The same need No need for scrutiny [Pre-Chorus] Only to find that the shedding of the skin The beginning of ascension [Chorus] I can't stand you I hate myself more I can't stand you I hate myself more But you see together we can go up (expanding) to the dance of the creator [Verse 2] The one last step The final thrust upward and never looking back Forgiven, it never happened It never appeared It never saved but the end saved at the last possible second [Pre-Chorus] The last possible possibility That you are me and I am a star [Chorus] I can't stand you I hate myself more I can't stand you I hate myself more But you see together we can go up (expanding) to the dance of the creator [Bridge] and burning brightly forever needing to be finite to talk to you again even if it didn't go so well [Final Chorus] I can't stand you I hate myself more I can't stand you I hate myself more That you are me and I am a star and burning brightly forever needing to be finite
