Slaughterhouse Blues
Slaughterhouse Blues: A Glimpse into the Dark Symphony of Life's End
Lyrics
Yeah I'm born into darkness and I'm born into pain
Expressing a life of hardship and suffering from the very beginning.
I've never seen the sun and I've never felt the rain
Lack of exposure to positive experiences, emphasizing a bleak existence.
I never tasted the green grass, I never watched the birds in the sky
Never having the chance to enjoy simple pleasures like nature.
My life's a dead end street, I'm born just to die
Feeling stuck in a purposeless life, with a sense of inevitable death.
Just to die
Reiterating the theme of being born only to face death.
I'm born just to die, oh just to die
Repetition for emphasis on the inevitability of death.
Born just to die
Further emphasizing the inescapable destiny of death.
No space to move and no place to hide
Feeling confined, with no room to move and nowhere to hide.
I'm trapped in this prison cell and no amnesty in sight
Being trapped in a dire situation with no hope for amnesty.
I see my brothers suffer, I hear my sisters cry
Witnessing the suffering of others, adding to the overall despair.
Our life's a dead end street, we're born just to die
Reiterating the idea that life is a dead end and destined for death.
Just to die
Repeating the theme of being born only to face inevitable death.
We're born just to die, oh just to die
Emphasizing the inescapable fate of death.
Born just to die
Underscoring the inevitability of death from the moment of birth.
And while you're having a good time with your friends at a barbecue
Contrasting the harsh reality of the singer's life with the carefree atmosphere of a barbecue.
Me and my brothers and sisters sing the slaughterhouse blues
Expressing a sense of shared suffering among the singer and their companions.
The slaughterhouse blues
Repetition of the theme of facing a tragic fate together.
The ground is shaking and I can not stand up right
Describing the physical toll and instability of the singer's life.
Some of us will already be dead before we arrive
Implying that some will not survive the challenges they face.
The smell of death is in the air, now it's time to say goodbye
Sensory imagery of impending death, with a farewell atmosphere.
Our story comes to an end, it's time for us to die
Conveying the conclusion of the singer's story and the acceptance of death.
Now it's time to die
Repeating the acceptance of the imminent death.
Now it's time to die, now it's time to die
Emphasizing the inevitability of death once again.
Now it's time to die
Reiteration of the acceptance of the impending death.
And while you're having a good time with your friends at a barbecue
Repeating the contrast between the singer's harsh reality and others' joyful activities.
Me and my brothers and sisters sing the slaughterhouse blues
Continuation of the shared experience of suffering among the singer and companions.
The slaughterhouse blues
Reiteration of the theme of facing a tragic fate together.
Yeah I'm born into darkness and I'm born into pain
Recapitulating the difficult and painful nature of the singer's existence.
I've never seen the sun and I've never felt the rain
Restating the lack of positive experiences and the harsh conditions of life.
I never tasted the green grass, I never watched the birds in the sky
Reiterating the absence of simple joys and pleasures in the singer's life.
My life's a dead end street, I'm born just to die
Affirming the belief that life is a dead end and destined for death.
Just to die
Repetition for emphasis on the inevitability of death.
I'm born just to die, oh just to die

Born just to die, just to die
