Help with translation of song line - confusing use of particles, unsure how to deal with a pun


So I was trying to translate this song (full lyrics
[here](https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AA%E3%83%A4%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88_%28Canary%27s_Lament%29))
but there's this one line that I can't make sense out of.

> その餌で凍えて誂えて この折に巣食い尽くす この唄を 捧げます。
>
> With that bait, freeze and make to order. Completely building a nest in this
> opportunity, I dedicate this song.

I'm unsure what to do with 巣食い尽くす, for one thing. Should it be 巣(を)食い尽くす, or
is it like that 尽くす is the ending on the verb stem 巣食い, as I have it
translated above? I'm thinking this is probably a pun.

As for the first part... I'm unsure exactly what it means? Grammatically it
works but the で is throwing me off - if it were を, that would make sense,
freezing and ordering are both things one does with food. But I'm not sure how
the で would work here?

Thanks so much for your help!




There are various misses in your proposed translation.

  * 餌【え】 could also be just "food for an animal".
  * 凍【こご】える is an intransitive verb with a meaning more like "to become frozen and numb from cold".
  * 誂【あつら】える is not "to make something to order", but more like "to request or order that something be done or made as one wants". It's about getting someone else to do the doing / making.
  * すくいつくす might be a pun, depending on how we parse the sounds. 巣食い尽くす as written would equate to 巣【す】を食【く】い尽【つ】くす, or "completely eat (a/the) nest".  
The sounds could also be spelled as 救い尽くす or 掬い尽くす. However, this would be a
weird collocation, since 救【すく】う means "to rescue" and 掬【すく】う means "to scoop
up", while 尽【つ】くす means "to do something completely so nothing is left, to
exhaust something", which is a strange kind of collocation for "rescue", but I
suppose it could work for "scoop", with a meaning like "to completely scoop
something up (so nothing is left)".  
I have no idea where you're getting the "building" part. The base meaning of
食【く】う is "to eat something; to bite into something".

Reading briefly through the lyrics, I find it to be a bit of a weird song, and
I can't claim to understand it very well. I also note what seem to be mistakes
in the romanization, such as the sixth line in the third stanza:

> せめて その目でその **肢** でその声で semete sono me de sono **shi** de sono koe de

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the bolded kanji there should be read as
_e_ ("limb of the body"), not _shi_. A reading of _e_ would fit the meter and
rhyme better. That said, I haven't listened to the song, so I'm unsure of
what's actually in the audio.

At any rate, I hope the above helps in some small way. Please comment with any
further questions and I can edit the post.
