Death Instinct
Embracing the Inevitable: Death Instinct Unveiled
Lyrics
The runt of the litter
The weakest or smallest of a group of animals in a litter.
Dying to prove he's no quitter
Eager to demonstrate that he is not one to give up easily, even if faced with challenges.
Running with the dogs of winter
Associating with tough and harsh circumstances, symbolized by "dogs of winter."
As the pack gets thinner
As the group diminishes in size, possibly indicating difficulties and losses.
It's getting harder to keep up
Facing increasing difficulties.
Harder and harder to keep your head up
Becoming progressively more challenging to stay positive and resilient.
Better to be fed than fed up
Suggesting it's preferable to receive support or sustenance than to be frustrated and discontent.
So you keep your mouth shut
Choosing to remain silent or passive to avoid trouble or conflict.
Cut to the quick
To be deeply wounded or hurt emotionally.
Like a ton of bricks
An impactful and sudden blow, akin to a heavy burden.
Biting at the heels
Continuously pursuing others aggressively, perhaps out of desperation.
Broken on the wheel
Broken and defeated by a powerful force or system.
Take a look in the mirror
Self-reflection, attempting to gain clarity about one's situation.
Try to see a little clearer
Struggling to find meaning or value in what remains.
Nothing left you hold dear
Having lost all that was once important or cherished.
Nothing left to fear
Experiencing a lack of fear, possibly due to having nothing left to lose.
One way from here
There's only one path forward from this point.
One way it ends
Emphasizing a singular, inevitable conclusion as one descends or faces challenges.
One way it ends
-As you descend
-You never saw the other side
Not being aware of an alternative perspective or option.
You never made it back alive
Unable to return from a risky or dangerous situation.
You just let it ride
Choosing to go along with circumstances rather than resisting or fighting against them.
It's for the gods to decide
Leaving the outcome to fate or forces beyond one's control.
How you live and die
Highlighting the uncontrollable aspects of life and death.
No matter where or when
Regardless of the circumstances or time, there's only one inevitable conclusion.
One way it ends
Reiterating the singular and unavoidable ending.
The goal of all life is death
Quoting Sigmund Freud, suggesting that the ultimate goal of life is death.
Anything for one more breath
Expressing a willingness to do anything for another chance at life.
