Outlast
Eternal Flames: A Journey Through Inner Turmoil
Lyrics
The flowers bloomed
The blossoming of flowers
Has she forgotten my name?
Questioning if she has forgotten the speaker's name
Show me the hell that I'd create
Request to reveal the self-inflicted torment
Serpents in the grass begging for relief
Metaphorical serpents in the grass seeking relief
Betrayed by grace
Betrayed despite having grace
The bitter taste of a life of sanctity
Experiencing the bitter taste of a supposedly holy life
I feel the fire
Sensation of intense heat or passion
Engulfed by the flames of disillusion
Overwhelmed by the flames of shattered illusions
The hand of death
Symbolic reference to the approach of death
Seems to pull me in
Feeling drawn towards death
I feel the fire
Reiteration of the intense heat or passion
Blistering heat fills my vacant lungs
Suffering from scorching heat in the empty lungs
The razor's edge of insanity spills my blood
The thin line between sanity and madness causing bleeding
Downcast
Feeling disheartened or depressed
With eyes of defeat
Eyes reflecting defeat
Begging please but we get no mercy
Pleading for mercy but receiving none
My wrath will outlast
Declaration that the speaker's wrath will endure
This self-inflicting side of me
Acknowledgment of a self-destructive aspect within
The calmest minds can reach the furthest into hell
Even the calmest minds can descend into deep suffering
Pride was stripped
Pride being taken away
But try as you might you'll never break grip
Resilience against attempts to break free
With my hands at the neck of the coward you made me
Symbolic control over a cowardly version of the speaker
This shade of red reawakens me
A resurgence of intense emotions, possibly anger
My hatred's relentless
The speaker's hatred is unyielding
Fractured my chest
Feeling emotionally shattered
You summoned my demons they crown me
Personal demons are acknowledged and celebrated
No weakness left
No vulnerability remains
We never rest
A determination to never cease
Crown me
A demand to be recognized or crowned
So I feel the fire
Reiteration of the intense heat or passion
Engulfed by the flames of disillusion
Being overwhelmed by shattered illusions again
The hand of death
Repeating the symbolic approach of death
Seems to pull me in
Feeling pulled towards death once more
I feel the fire
Reiterating the intense heat or passion
Blistering heat fills my vacant lungs
Experiencing scorching heat in empty lungs again
The razor's edge of insanity spills my blood
Reiteration of the thin line between sanity and madness causing bleeding
