One Day Closer to the End of the World
Embracing the Abyss: Cattle Decapitation's Ode to Humanity's Demise
Lyrics
Awaken to the reality
Realizing and becoming aware of the truth or actuality
Left stranded, hope has vanished
Feeling abandoned, with hope disappearing
An opportunity for failure
Seeing a chance for failure or defeat
One day closer to the end of all life on this fucking planet
Approaching closer to the inevitable end of all life on Earth
Death obsessed! Infatuation with cessation
Fixation on death, an intense preoccupation with termination
Eternal rest - request for death at my behest - held close to the breast
Desiring eternal rest and death, holding it dearly
Clutched tight with all my might this Smith & Wesson
Expressing a strong grip on a firearm (Smith & Wesson) as a symbol of control or potential self-harm
Us humans never learn our lessons
Humans repeatedly failing to learn from mistakes or experiences
Possessed with deep aggression
Being consumed by profound anger or hostility
Self-hate - the great depression
Self-loathing leading to a deep sense of sadness or hopelessness
Confessing love for the end...
Expressing affection or admiration for the concept of the end of existence
Why do we keep letting this life come between us?
Questioning why life continually creates barriers or conflicts among individuals
The years won't wipe away desire for the end times!
Despite time passing, the longing for the end of the world persists
Exit laughter
Departure from joy or amusement
Exit pleasure
Exiting from satisfaction or enjoyment
Exit appreciation
Leaving behind gratitude or acknowledgment
What have we done to this world?
Reflecting on the harm caused to the world by human actions
All Hail Mortem!
Saluting or praising Death as a dominant force
All Hail Silence!
Showing reverence or admiration for Silence as a concept
All Hail Death!
Honoring or glorifying Death as an entity
Where have you been all our lives?
Questioning the absence of Death despite its significance
One day closer
Approaching closer to a significant tragic event or the end
To the final tragedy
Drawing nearer to a final catastrophic event
Born a life sentence of a hell on earth that we can't avoid
Being born into a life filled with suffering that cannot be escaped
Why do we keep letting this life come between us?
Questioning why life creates divisions or separations among individuals
The years won't wipe away desire for the end times!
Despite the passing of time, the yearning for the end persists
Lust for dying
Desiring death or annihilation passionately
Lust for extinction
Longing intensely for the complete extinction of life
Lusting for euthanasia
Craving euthanasia or the act of painlessly ending life
What have we done to ourselves?
Reflecting on the destructive impact of human actions on themselves
We would never have asked for any of this
Not having desired or asked for the current state of affairs
A chemistry that's as black as any abyss
Describing a chemistry or connection as dark and deep as an abyss
Before our eyes, deep in our minds hope is swallowed
Feeling a loss of hope both visually and mentally
A bleak despair in the air fills the hollows
A feeling of bleakness and despair pervading the surroundings
One day we all will mean nothing
Expressing that eventually, everyone will lose significance or meaning
Shallow graves to tomb the suffering
Shallow graves symbolize burying the suffering
...And the pale horse's reins pulling my heart strings
Metaphorically, death's influence affecting emotions profoundly
We walk alone from natality until mortality
Life's journey from birth to death being a solitary one
We navigate lethality until fatality
Navigating the dangers of life until the inevitable end
Everything that's now living will one day meet its demise
Everything alive will ultimately meet its end
Out of breath, out of time - a species out of its mind
A species nearing its collapse due to irrationality or madness
