this isn't the most perfect translation, but i got the idea from shakespearean books. if i'm wrong, oh well. if you have any ideas/comments, feel free to reply.


wear the grudge like a crown of negativity (hold onto your grudge as if it is a crown)
calculate what we will or will not tolerate (humans will do what they want or they won't tolerate anything)
desperate to control all and everything (desperate to control everything)
unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen (unable to let go of the grudge [scarlet lettermen is a metaphor])

clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down (if you DON'T hold the grudge, it will all go away)
justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end (justifying your own denial and not letting them go)
clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down (if you DON'T hold the grudge, it will all go away)
terrified of being wrong, ultimatum prison cell (terrified of being wrong, but it's your choice)

saturn ascends, choose one or ten, hang on or be humbled again (saturn means: 1. Roman God of Time. 2. Planet ruling experience, discipline, fate; limiting energy. The planet of discipline, structure, and responsibility. Saturn's placement indicates areas of restriction, self-induced or otherwise. Known as the teacher, or angel of discipline, Saturn conveys the lessons of life; here we make progress as we earn it – usually slowly. Ruler of Capricorn, it is considered Ray 3 in nature. 1 and 10 most likely refer to the magician and wheel of fortune tarot cards. however, it might be maynard's own personal meaning. the rest is simply if you don't hang on to the grudge, you'll be humble again)

clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down (if you DON'T hold the grudge, it will all go away)
justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end (justifying your own denial and not letting them go)
saturn ascends, comes round again (saturn is back..)
saturn ascends, the one, the ten, ignorant to the damage done (you're unaware of what you've done because of your grudge)

wear the grudge like a crown of negativity (hold onto your grudge as if it is a crown)
calculate what we will or will not tolerate (humans will do what they want or they won't tolerate anything)
desperate to control all and everything (desperate to control everything)
unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen (unable to let go of the grudge [scarlet lettermen is a metaphor])

wear the grudge like a crown, desperate to control (keep the grudge there, you're desperate to control)
unable to forgive, and we're sinking deeper (you're unable to forgive, and you're losing yourself to your grudge)

defining, confining, controlling, and we're sinking deeper (you're defining things to fit your grudge, confining in that meaning, controlling everything around you, and continuing to lose yourself to your grudge)

saturn comes back around to show you everything (if saturn is the astrological meaning, it's come to show you what you're ignorant to)
let's you choose what you will not see and then (self-evident statement)
drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again (it will either punish you or make things right)
spits you out like a child, light and innocent (self-evident statement)

saturn comes back around, lifts you up like a child or drags you down like a stone (depending upon what you choose, you'll be lifted up like the baby you are, or dragged down like the stonecold person you've become because of your grudge)
to consume you till you choose to let this go (whichever way, saturn wants you to get rid of your grudge)

give away the stone (obvious)
let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor (it seems it's a choice at this part too... to either keep the grudge)
give away the stone
let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold (... or to turn it into something useful)

let go (but regardless of which you choose, you have to let it go)
