Death
Embracing the Abyss: Unveiling the Profound Message of Demon Hunter's 'Death'
Lyrics
I'm not your gateway
I reject being your gateway, a means for you to reach or achieve something.
I'm not your prodigal son
I disown the role of being your wayward and returning child.
I am the vile lesser-than
I identify myself as something despicable and inferior.
Just who do you think I am?
Challenging the listener, questioning their perception of the speaker.
I'm not your standard
I don't conform to your established norms or expectations.
I'm not your vision divine
I'm not a divine or perfect vision according to your beliefs.
I am no sacrificial lamb
I won't be a sacrificial offering; I have my own identity.
Just who do you think I am?
A continuation of challenging the listener's perception and expectations.
I am death
Repeated assertion of the speaker's identity as death, a powerful and inevitable force.
I am death
-I am death
-I am death
-I'm not your sacrifice
I won't be the one sacrificed for others; I won't provide shelter during difficulties.
I'm not your shelter in the storm
I reject being a protective refuge in challenging times.
I am determinately man
I am resolutely human and self-determined, not easily influenced or controlled.
Just who do you think I am?
A repetition of challenging the listener's perception and expectations.
I'm not your child
I'm not your offspring, emphasizing a lack of familial connection.
I'm not your paragon of just
I'm not your ideal example of justice or virtue.
I am by other means damned
I am condemned by alternative means, not fitting conventional expectations.
Just who do you think I am?
A continuation of challenging the listener's perception and expectations.
I am death
Repetition reinforcing the speaker's identification as death.
I am death
-I am death
-I am death
-Who do you think I am?
Rhetorical questioning, challenging the listener to reconsider their perception of the speaker.
Who do you think I am?
-Who do you think I am?
-Who do you think I am?
