Lyric: Consumed by an ens
Annotation:
‘Ens’ refers to an entity (i.e. a real or existing thing). Thus, the line exemplifies the all-consuming nature of the crisis. The persona is overwhelmed by his reality. Furthermore, the utilisation of “ens” (which proceeds “ends”) is purposeful; establishing dual meaning at the hands of auditory interchangeability. Explicitly, if the line is heard/read with “ends”, it is equally applicable; highlighting the crisis of the situation.
