Tenebrae
Embracing Void: A Journey through Desolation and Liberation
Lyrics
I am tethered to the violence
I am connected to violent tendencies or actions.
Constantly drifting in the dissonance
I am constantly caught in conflicting and harsh sounds.
Slowly losing myself in the silence
I am gradually losing myself in a state of quietness or emptiness.
Just a shell of a dying man
I am merely a shell of a person who is dying.
And as each part of me dies
Each part of me is dying, and I am becoming more aligned with emptiness or nothingness.
I too become more with the Void
Embracing the Void or emptiness as I lose parts of myself.
Breathe it in
Inhale the emptiness or darkness.
Breathe it out
Exhale the darkness or negativity.
Feel the smoke slowly taking your life
Experience the slow impact of destructive influences on your life.
Another night in this cage and I can't escape
Enduring another night of confinement without escape.
Submerge my body and take my pain away
Immersing my body, seeking relief from pain.
Take the flesh, take the pain, take it all away
Surrendering my flesh, pain, and everything for release.
Leave nothing but the bones to decay
Leaving only bones behind as a symbol of decay.
Take the flesh, take the pain, take it all away
Repeating the willingness to give away flesh and pain.
Leave them to inherit the pain
Leaving others to inherit the suffering.
Forever bound by the violence
Perpetually tied to violence, unable to break free.
Slowly losing my mind to the dissonance
Gradually losing sanity to conflicting and harsh sounds.
I no longer hear the silence
No longer perceiving the silence, only a barren emptiness as guidance.
Barren emptiness will be my guidance
Accepting a burden that was never originally mine.
This burden was never my own
Every breath increases my sense of isolation.
Every breath leaves me more alone
Intensifying loneliness with each breath.
More alone
Emphasizing the increasing sense of solitude.
No more silence
No more peaceful silence remains.
No more silence
Reiterating the absence of silence.
Stuck in the dissonance
Trapped in conflicting and harsh sounds.
Truth of what I really am
Facing the truth of my identity.
I accept my fate
Acknowledging and embracing my destined path.
Forced to break
Compelled to break, possibly referring to a breaking point.
Take my pain away
Pleading to have pain taken away.
Take the flesh, take the pain, take it all away
Offering everything—flesh, pain—for complete release.
Take the flesh, take the pain away
Reiterating the desire to have pain removed, emphasizing the plea.
