Breeding Fear
A Descent into Despair: Unveiling the Depths of Fear in Paradise Lost's Breeding Fear
Lyrics
Staring down into the depths
Contemplating the abyss or profound depths.
Subconscious has taken my life
The subconscious mind has taken control of the speaker's life.
Breathing this foul and dank air
Breathing in unpleasant and stagnant air.
Eyes cannot penetrate the light
Unable to see clearly, possibly metaphorical blindness.
No room to panic or move
Feeling trapped with no space to panic or move.
I pray my death will come soon
Expressing a desire for death to come soon.
My sorrows are breeding on my fear
Suffering and pain are intensifying due to fear.
The tombs of 1000 lie near,
Referring to the graves of a thousand, implying proximity to death.
Soon to diminish am I?
Questioning whether the speaker's end is near.
Lying here, minutes from my death
Lying near death, perhaps in a critical condition.
The nausea breeds on my fear
Nausea intensifies due to fear.
Calling to the victims of fate
Calling out to others who have suffered a similar fate.
The dead cannot answer my calls
Recognizing the silence of the dead, unable to respond.
My body falls to the depths
The body descends into the depths, suggesting a metaphorical or literal fall.
And darkness has engraved my mind...
Darkness consumes the mind, implying despair or hopelessness.
No visions or solution
No insights or solutions are apparent.
Gagged for air, deeper below I sink...
Struggling for breath, sinking deeper below, indicating a worsening situation.
