The Grotesque
Embracing Grotesque Realities: Benediction's Dark Tale
Lyrics
Inner deformity, such a foul deceptive rot.
Inner deformity, a repulsive and deceitful decay within.
Conceiving the grotesque. Nothing is but what is not.
Creating the monstrous and bizarre. Reality is distorted, and nothing is as it seems.
Screeds of verbiage, never explained. Gazing at the flames.
Long passages of words, unexplained. Contemplating the flames, possibly a metaphor for inner turmoil.
Inside the dungeon or my skull, only mawkish thoughts remains.
Whether in a physical dungeon or the mind, only sentimental and overly emotional thoughts persist.
Grotesque addict, forever shadowed,
An addict to the grotesque, living in perpetual shadow, surrounded by darkness.
darkness clouding me. Absurdity now fate.
Absurdity is now inevitable destiny.
Bizzarre dreams, an horrendous nightmare,
Strange and unsettling dreams, a horrendous nightmare, with nothing left but hallucinations.
nothing left but to hallucinate.
Dementia reigns, a predilection. Total order cease.
Dementia rules, order is completely lost.
Rescrudescent, this condition. Coherency decrease.
A recurrence of a deteriorating condition, coherence diminishing.
Humanity is not to shine, in my bloodless face.
Humanity does not shine in the speaker's bloodless face, suggesting a lack of vitality.
Magnified in travesty, I have been displaced.
Exaggerated in tragedy, the speaker feels displaced.
See with the eye of the mind. That the lie will speak.
Perceive with the mind's eye that falsehoods will articulate themselves.
Traumatic cracks in my addiction, made the future bleak.
Cracks in addiction cause trauma, making the future bleak.
Paralysed to ruminate, embolismic bitter jest.
Paralyzed in contemplation, bitter jokes at a critical juncture.
Ontologically I'm dead, reborn as the grotesque.
Ontologically dead, reborn as the grotesque, signifying a profound transformation into something abnormal.
THE GROTESQUE!
Emphasizing the grotesque as a central theme, perhaps a culmination of the speaker's experiences.
