Discover the story of the song > Carrion Comfort – Aeseaes

The protagonist is describing their desire for danger and excitement, comparing it to the sound of a kick drum and the dark intensity of another person's eyes. They feel a craving to let loose and fight like dogs, even though they have the choice not to. The protagonist asks for comfort in their chaotic state, comparing themselves to carrion, or decaying flesh. They wonder if it was them or someone else who fought against their romantic partner's strong and powerful presence. They feel like beetles and worms, tearing at their partner's skin and causing a mess. They acknowledge that they are a "bottom feeder," trying to take what is left of their partner. The protagonist admits that they should stop and knows they should, but nothing else can make them feel as good. The voices in their head are howling and they feel like they are losing control, becoming nothing more than an animal. They ask for comfort once again, comparing themselves to carrion.
