Epilepsy is Dancing

I haven't always been the poetic type, unless I am carrying certain feelings in my heart. Lyrics never have been the first thing to pop out at me when I listen to a song. I'm in it for the music. So, this song caught my attention first for it's sonic brilliance, then the lyrics caught on:


Epilepsy is dancing
She’s the Christ now departing
And I’m finding my rhythm
As I twist in the snow

All the metal burned in me
Down the brain of my river
That fire was searching
For a waterway home

I cry “glitter is love!”
My eyes pinned inside
With green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars
From a golden vein

As I came to a screaming
Hold me while I’m dreaming
For my fingers are curling
And I cannot breathe

Then I cried in the kitchen
How I’d seen your ghost witching
As a soldering blue line
Between my eyes

I cry “glitter is love!”
My eyes
Pinned inside
Sea green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars
From a golden vein

Cut me in quadrants
Leave me in the corner
Oh now it’s passing
Oh now I’m dancing


People on Youtube are all in a mess about what he means, and people are hyper sensetive to the epeleptics' cause. He's not mocking epilepsy. I think he means to find the beauty in something that's painful or otherwise unpleasant to witness.
