Aesthetics of Decay
Aesthetics of Urban Decay: Steel Inferno's Dystopian Symphony
Lyrics
The scenery is set
The stage is set or the environment is arranged.
A modern urban warfare, has commenced
A modern form of conflict in cities has started.
Resistance seems futile
Efforts to resist or fight back seem ineffective.
As vultures tear downs neighbourhoods
Symbolically, scavengers destruct urban areas,
to pave the way for yet, another skyline
to make room for new city skylines, typically associated with progress.
to breed the image of success
To create an impression of achievement or triumph.
Carbon deposited from flames
Residue from fires,
From incomplete combustions of fuels
due to incomplete burning of fuels.
Aesthetics of decay
Focusing on the attractiveness of deterioration or decline.
Urban wasteland strike back
Urban desolation retaliates or fights back.
Cast iron - forged steel
Metal and sturdy materials,
Bricks upon the solid concrete
Building blocks forming the city.
Architectural wreckage of past times
Remains of architecture from bygone eras,
Oxidized machinery transforming the urban landscape
Rusting machines changing the cityscape,
Remnants of industrialization
Traces of past industrial developments.
Carbon deposited from flames
Similar to line 9, residue left by fires,
From incomplete combustions of fuels
caused by incomplete combustion of fuels.
Aesthetics of decay
Emphasizing the appeal of decay or decline.
Urban wasteland strike back
Desolated urban areas fight back or retaliate.
