Deep Down Decayed
Eternal Salvation in Decay: Concrete Cold's Deep Down Decayed
Lyrics
You're not the one to give
You are not the one who gives
You're not the one to give
Repetition emphasizing that the listener is not a giver
I'm the one who takes
The speaker claims to be the one who takes
Tired of all that was taken
Expressing weariness from what has been taken
Decisions were made
Decisions have been made by the speaker
deep down decayed
Describing a state of profound decay within
In conflict with the outcome
Conflict arises from the consequences of decisions
Craving for eternal salvation
Longing for eternal salvation, possibly seeking redemption
Fear is not the fate I seek
Fear is not the desired destiny
Fear…
Repetition of "Fear..." possibly indicating its significance
A weakened shallowed emptiness
Describing a state of weakened and shallow emptiness
Deep down decayed
Reiteration of deep decay within
The freedom I gained is filled with fear
The freedom gained is tainted by fear
When death comes as release
Death is seen as a release from the burden
Slow I crawl through erosion
Moving slowly through a process of erosion
Deep down decayed
Repetition of deep decay, emphasizing its persistence
How hard is a skull?
Pondering the hardness of a skull
The hammer will answer
A hammer is the answer to the hardness of a skull
Slow I crawl through erosion
Repetition of the slow crawl through erosion
I've chosen the long hard path
The speaker has chosen a difficult and prolonged path
Deep
Indication of depth or intensity
down
Repetition of "down," further emphasizing depth
decayed
Reiteration of decay, underscoring its persistent nature
