Deep Down
Dark Descent: IV and The Strange Band's Haunting Tale
Lyrics
Deep down he could deliver
He possessed an ability or capability deep within himself to accomplish something.
Reachin' round the hand to a quiver
Trying to calm someone who is trembling or shaking by reaching out.
That sound made the air shiver
A noise or sensation causing a strong reaction in the surrounding atmosphere.
She was shakin like a dog in the winter
Describing someone trembling violently, possibly due to fear or cold.
That arrow went straight through her liver
An imagery of a powerful impact or injury, likened to an arrow piercing deeply.
It went deep down
Reiterating the intensity of something affecting deeply.
As a child he felt the creeping need
Recalling a childhood urge or desire that gradually grew within.
To hold the rubies in his hand for the feed
A metaphorical reference to holding valuable things for personal satisfaction.
It didn't matter who he'd hurt with his deeds
Indifference towards causing harm to others in pursuit of personal goals.
If they ain't living who's gonna even see
Contemplation on the pointlessness of actions if no one witnesses them.
She was laying in the trunk of that car
Depicting a vulnerable and trapped situation in a confined space.
Just praying that she'd get out and see the stars
A hope for freedom and experiencing life's beauty contrasted against impending danger.
But he was planning to gut her like a garr
Planning to harm or destroy someone in a brutal manner.
And then hide her like a coal in the char
Intentions to conceal or bury someone deeply after harming them.
Deep down he could deliver
Reiteration of his internal capacity to execute something significant.
Reachin' round the hand to a quiver
A repetition of attempting to calm someone who is shaking uncontrollably.
That sound made the air shiver
A sensation or impact causing a strong reaction in the environment.
She was shakin like a dog in the winter
Describing intense trembling, emphasizing a distressed state.
That arrow went straight through her liver
Analogous to a forceful and penetrating injury, inflicting deep harm.
It wentdeep down
Re-emphasizing the profound effect or damage caused.
Now he'd keep her where all his treasure lay
Keeping someone captive where valuable possessions are stored.
A simple field marked the hollow of decay
Describing a location of deterioration or decline, possibly metaphorical.
Like wicked acts in his grim macabre play
Comparing actions to a dark and twisted performance or spectacle.
To start his digging so he'd know where she would stay
Preparing to locate the place where the captive will be left.
Dark souls never meet a happy end
Expressing a pessimistic view that those with malicious intentions often don’t find happiness.
Our killer had himself a secret little friend
The perpetrator having a secretive ally or mindset that supports their actions.
That used to follow him in silence with a plan
Reference to a companion who plotted alongside but is now abandoned.
And now he laid him in the darkness of his sins
Guilt or consequence for abandoning the former companion.
Deep down he could deliver
Restating the inherent capacity to cause significant impact or harm.
Reachin' round the hand to a quiver
Repeated attempt to calm someone in distress.
That sound made the air shiver
Describing an intense reaction or impact in the surroundings.
She was shakin like a dog in the winter
Illustrating extreme shaking or distress.
That arrow went straight through her liver
Reiteration of a forceful and deeply harmful action.
It went deep down
Reemphasizing the profound impact or damage caused.
