⟡ LYRICS ⟡
(Intro)
This is not death.
It’s something slower.
I opened my throat
and the silence
drank me.
(Verse)
I broke the jaw of mercy’s ghost
My fingers sank in blood like faith
I didn’t cry. I didn’t choke.
I knelt. I begged.
I gave it shape.
Ribs split wide to form the gate
Each breath a ritual I rehearsed
My flesh ignited, slow and clean
Because I thought I knew the worst
(Pre-Chorus)
It hurts—
but I asked for this
It hurts—
because I meant it
(Chorus)
Let it rain blood in reverse
Let the wound become the verse
Crown me with the smoke I earned
Let me be—
what I deserve
(Scream layered into whisper)
Let me be—
what I deserve
(Verse 2)
Tongue like ash, spine unstrung
I sang in pulses, not in words
They opened me, and I believed
The pain was proof
that I’d been heard
Bones etched symbols I can’t read
My skin curled back to show the nerve
I wept—not from what they did—
but from the gift I thought I’d served
(Pre-Chorus – breaking rhythm)
Still here—
Still worthy—
Still writhing—
Still—
worthy
(Chorus)
Let it rain blood in reverse
Let the wound become the verse
Crown me with the smoke I earned
Let me be—
what I deserve
Let me be—
Let me be—
what I deserve
(Bridge)
They told me it would end
when I let go.
But I didn’t.
I held on too hard.
And that’s what stayed.
Not me—
The grip.
(Outro)
I opened my throat
and the unsound bled in.
It didn’t lift me.
It didn’t end.
It filled the parts I left exposed
and waited
while I
kept
feeling.
Let me be
what I
deserve.
let me be….
what I deserve…

| 🔴 Redshift Reversal – Concept Note 🔴 |
+—————————————————+
🔍 Logline
Eimi, drawn quietly to endings and entropy, enacts an inverted blood-ritual, desperately pleading to the universe for the meaning or validation she feels she deserves.
The ritual concludes, the blood rises—but no salvation answers her call.
🎯 Key Themes
• Life-long Sacrifice Unrewarded – giving everything yet receiving nothing
• Desperate Demand for Recognition – pleading “Let me be what I deserve”
• Cosmic Indifference – the universe remains silent despite devotion
• Inverse Worship – rituals inverted, faith betrays, prayers unanswered
• Beauty and Futility – elegance, beauty, and serenity in deep anguish
• Agency Without Salvation – actively chosen suffering that goes unnoticed
🕯 Protagonist
Eimi – Central figure for themes of gentle entropy, endings, and quiet tragedy. Shoulder-length white hair, porcelain skin etched with lavender fissures; right eye a void, left eye glowing lavender runes.
Her gentle nature draws her to soft endings—but here, desperation for meaning drives her ritual. Kneeling calmly, yet pleading desperately, she embodies beautiful futility—her ritual leaving no scars but those within.
🌐 Allegory
Whether it’s a career that consumes your health, a relationship that drains your soul, or a belief system that promises paradise, Redshift Reversal exposes the cost of staking your worth on external approval: the ritual may be flawless, but the reward can still be nothing.
✨ Alternate Interpretation – “Body-as-Cathedral” Rite
people who want to take the lyrics literally:
Eimi splits her ribs open like Gothic gates, blood rises against gravity, bones become scripture—the ultimate self-made altar. She invites the cosmos to inhabit her, but even this visceral gift achieves only silence. It’s an occult surgery where the deity never arrives, leaving a cathedral with no god.
⚠️ Take-away
You can sacrifice body, time, and soul, crying “Let me be what I deserve,” yet the universe may stay mute. The harshest truth isn’t rejection—it’s indifference.
