A Dreadful Muse
Embracing Madness: Deciphering the Depths of 'A Dreadful Muse' by Septicflesh
Lyrics
The walls try to breathe,
The walls symbolize confinement or restriction, attempting to convey a sense of oppression.
asphyxiating with our kin.
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed by one's own family or community.
We shall pay the price for our insanity.
Anticipating consequences for the irrational or insane actions committed.
We are banned from life.
Experiencing exclusion or rejection from the essence of life.
We ‘ll sink into the night.
Facing a descent or immersion into darkness, possibly representing despair or a negative state.
One more dead.
Another individual has died, emphasizing the theme of mortality.
Sick is our muse.
The creative inspiration (muse) is tainted or corrupted by illness, possibly a metaphor for negative influences.
We were banned from life.
Reiterating the sense of being excluded or banished from a fulfilling life.
We regret before we die.
Expressing remorse or regret before facing death.
This is the world we have made.
Commenting on the state of the world created by humanity, possibly emphasizing its negative aspects.
Afraid
Acknowledging fear in the face of the consequences of human actions.
This is the world we dominate.
Asserting dominance over the world, possibly with negative implications.
Afraid
Reaffirming fear as a prevalent emotion in the dominating role.
Afraid to live.
Expressing a fear of living or engaging with life.
A world made of concrete.
Describing a world characterized by hardness and rigidity, devoid of warmth or flexibility.
A casket made of stone.
Comparing life to a stone casket, suggesting a sense of entrapment or lifelessness.
And we forget how to touch, how to move.
Forgetting how to connect with others and losing the ability to experience life fully.
We were banned from life.
Reiterating the theme of being excluded from a meaningful life.
So now we ‘ll sink into the night.
Anticipating a descent into darkness as a consequence of being banned from life.
We were banned from life.
Again emphasizing the exclusion from a fulfilling life.
We regret before we die.
Expressing regret before facing the inevitable end.
This is the world we have made.
Reflecting on the world created by humanity, acknowledging its negative aspects.
This is the world we dominate.
Asserting dominance over the world, possibly with negative implications.
Afraid
Reaffirming the prevalent emotion of fear in the dominating role.
Afraid to live
Expressing a fear of living or engaging with life.
One more dead
Another individual has died, emphasizing the theme of mortality.
Sick is our muse
The creative inspiration (muse) is tainted or corrupted by illness, possibly a metaphor for negative influences.
