Pestilence
Eternal Decay: Unveiling the Abyss in The Seance's 'Pestilence'
Lyrics
The city gets colder, under heavy blight
The city is experiencing a worsening condition, possibly due to a severe blight.
I can no longer see the sky, nor its moonlight
Visibility is hindered, and the moonlight in the sky is no longer visible.
Trees sick and twisted, oceans run dry
Trees are unhealthy and distorted, and the oceans are depleted.
Pestilence spreads, between you and I
A metaphorical pestilence is spreading, creating a divide between individuals.
Euphoric speaking, when we all die
There is a paradoxical expression of euphoria in the face of impending death.
Around the carousel
Reference to a carousel, possibly symbolizing a repetitive or cyclical experience.
It's like I've been here before, I can not tell
A sense of déjà vu, an experience that feels familiar but is uncertain.
Desperately waiting for the church's bell
Anxiously anticipating the tolling of a church bell, possibly for salvation.
To escape from the heavy clutches of indefinite hell
Yearning to escape from a relentless and indefinite state of suffering or despair.
Hell hath no fury, and soon we shall see
Anticipation of a future manifestation of intense anger or punishment.
What was once lost, will never be
Something lost in the past is emphasized as irrecoverable.
Long nights of darkness, no longer days
Extended periods of darkness, contrasting with the absence of daylight.
Light that I see's, from the city ablaze
Dim light is visible, emanating from a city in flames.
And that same darkness brings out their filthy mores
The same darkness reveals the immoral behavior of certain individuals.
Around the carousel
Reiteration of a carousel, reinforcing the theme of repetition or cycles.
It's like I've been here before, I can not tell
A continuation of the feeling of familiarity or repetition.
Desperately waiting for the church's bell
The expectation of a church bell persists, suggesting a longing for relief.
To escape from the heavy clutches of indefinite hell
Desire to escape the enduring and oppressive grasp of an undefined hell.
I destroy what I touch and kill who I see
Expressing a destructive impact on surroundings and a willingness to harm others.
Because these rules are all broken, it's lost all meaning
The breaking of societal rules is emphasized, with a loss of personal meaning.
I destroy what I touch and kill who I see
Reiteration of the destructive impact and the loss of meaning in breaking rules.
Because these rules are all broken, it's lost all meaning to me
Emphasizing the personal loss of meaning due to the disregard for rules.
I destroy what I touch and kill who I see
Continued expression of destructive behavior and the resulting loss of personal meaning.
Because these rules are all broken, it's lost all meaning to me
Reiteration of the theme of destructive actions leading to a loss of personal meaning.
It's lost all meaning to me
Final emphasis on the complete loss of personal meaning resulting from destructive behavior.
