Hast du jemals etwas getan, das du immer bereut hast? Was ist schlimmer? Etwas, das du dir selbst angetan hast oder etwas, das du jemand anderem angetan hast? Wie arrangierst du dich damit? kannst du jemals frei sein von einer Sünde, so scharlachrot, das sie dich immer wieder heimsucht? Wie schaltest du das Gewissen aus um an den Punkt zu kommen dich selbst zu läutern? Musst du innerlich bereits tot sein?
SUNSHINE CLEANERS Lyrics:
you can’t kill what’s already deadi still look for life in your eyes
you’ve thrown away
any ghost of hope gone up in chain-smoke
tell me whyyou make my skin erode in sunshine
your determination is steep
your torture porn strategies
dirty tricks up your sleeve
would your funeral clarify
expose all your lies
show a real sacrifice
cut wide
if it doesn’t eat your conscience
it may have shriveled up and died
if it hasn’t calloused your soul
your heart is next to nullified
get it off me
i feel so discouraged by the void of your success
wrapped in your naked skin
if it doesn’t eat your conscience
it may have shriveled up and died
if it hasn’t calloused your soul
your heart is next to nullified
get it off me
Have you ever done anything you’ve always regretted? Which is worse? Something you’ve done to yourself; or something you’ve done to someone else? How do you come to terms with it? Can you ever truly be free of a sin so scarlet, it always come back to haunt you? How do you turn off your conscience in order to get in there at truly cleanse yourself? Do you have to already be dead inside?
SUNSHINE CLEANERS could be about that moral dilemma. Or it could be about getting rid of the evidence. Merely trying to clean up your own house from a hideous act of degradation befallen there. Is the mess ever truly gone? CLEANSING. DEFLECTION. PURIFICATION. EXORCISM. What works? For each and every soul, the case may be different. But whatever you do… get the filth off of the walls. Get the blood out of the floors, and the stains off the ceiling. And for the sake of all that is just; just get it off of me; and just get it off of you.
