Shoals
Shoals of Devouring Devastation: Humanity's Reckoning
Lyrics
Like flies, FLIES!
Comparison of humans to flies, emphasizing their abundance and insignificance.
In every crevasse
Existence of humans in every small opening or crack.
In the deepest holes crawling in and out
Humans dwelling in deep places, moving in and out like insects.
Circling its pray, eating its way through
Portrayal of humans as predators, destroying everything in their path.
Laying waste to the ground you stand on
Human impact causing devastation to the environment.
All consuming and all spreading
Humanity's all-encompassing and pervasive influence.
great crawlers, millions running
Large numbers of humans, likened to crawlers, rapidly spreading.
Thousands of eyes watching your every move
Humans being observed closely, possibly suggesting surveillance.
Thorn limbs piercing the skin
Metaphorical depiction of human impact, causing harm like thorn limbs.
Torn limbs eaten through
Humans suffering damage, likened to torn limbs.
Causing violence to the flesh
Humans causing harm and violence to others.
Causing violence to the flesh
Repetition of the idea of humans inflicting violence on others.
In shoals, hunting for pain
Humans depicted as a collective searching for suffering.
in swarms, like a massacre
Humans moving together in large numbers, causing massive destruction.
Streaming out of the hive
Imagery of humans flowing out like a deadly force from a hive.
millions of eyes staring
The intense gaze of many humans, emphasizing their watchfulness.
Their hive mind set to destruction
Attributing a destructive mindset to humanity as a collective.
sent from the deepest regions, is this our fault?
Questioning if the destructive behavior is a consequence of human actions.
We've been exploiting the world for our own cause
Humans exploiting the world for personal gain.
now they are here to set it back to its
Consequences of exploitation leading to a need for correction.
natural state
Suggesting a return to the natural state as a solution.
Mass producing in an alarming rate
Rapid reproduction of humans, likened to a threat or infestation.
laying eggs inside, eating out the body
Graphic imagery of humans laying eggs inside and consuming others.
Forever hunting you, forever hungry
Perpetual pursuit and hunger of humanity causing relentless destruction.
nothing is left
A state of total depletion, nothing left in the wake of human actions.
Mankind must be eaten
The drastic suggestion that mankind must face consequences, possibly extinction.
