Cult of Excess
Cult of Excess: Unveiling the Depths of Human Desperation
Lyrics
Dependency
Dependence on something
Excessiveness
Extreme and excessive behavior
To rely upon the extreme
Relying heavily on extreme actions or habits
Thought pattern altered
Thinking process changed or distorted
Craving violent modes of outlet
Craving for violent ways to release emotions or energy
Seeking retribution for my sins
Desire for revenge or retribution for personal wrongdoings
They look to find the cracks in my psyche
Others examining the weaknesses in the speaker's mind
They find monotony and resentment towards this life
Discovering monotony and resentment towards life in the speaker
And the life of the others bearing the same
Similar resentment seen in others' lives
Reflection of their hearts
Reflecting the inner emotions of others
Dragged down to the cesspit
Being dragged into a state of degradation
Breaking free my instincts scream to breed and kill
Instincts pushing for primal actions like breeding and killing
Teeth to throat, rich blood flowing down my gullet
Desire for violent consumption, symbolized by blood
Scrambling to find my place within this crimson orgy
Struggling to find one's place in a violent scenario
Surges of euphoria snap our brains in different ways
Euphoria affecting minds differently
Shudder
A moment of intense emotion or reaction
As the effect of dementing, mind warping narcotics wears off
Coming down from mind-altering substances
A quiet penetrates the air as a moment passes
A silent moment follows the drug's effects wearing off
A sudden rush of shame engulfs, not from the death, but that
Feeling sudden shame, not for death but for the need for more
We need more. Take us back to the ignorance of excess
Desire to return to ignorance and excess to avoid shame
Panic leads to violence
Panic leading to violent actions
Consuming anything
Consuming anything available
Bloodshed leads to relief
Relief through violence or bloodshed
Ingesting anything
Ingesting anything, possibly to escape reality
Simulating total detachment of the human mind
Trying to detach the human mind from reality
No more blame in our hands when we're in this cult of excess
No longer feeling responsible for actions in the state of excessive behavior
No escape from the desire when we're in this cult of excess
Feeling trapped in an insatiable desire for excess
Engorge yourself on the endless desperation driven by clarity
Encouraging indulgence driven by clear understanding or insight
These beings, the adversaries, are the gods of your cult of excess
Labeling those who fuel excessive behavior as gods
