| Trivium – To Burn The Eye Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
"A mind lost within its own self Existing to feed its hunger Your body hollowed empty shell Awaiting feed of the ages" To me this song speaks of someone who has succumbed to an addiction, most likely a drug and substance abuse issue as a byproduct of having depression. They live to feed their inner emptiness with substances such as drugs or alcohol. They have lost "sight" of the things in life they should be striving for "Darkness will cover the mind Casting a shade on reasoning Immolation of the human self Conflagration of the ego" Depression destroys your self esteem, your rationale and way of thinking, you overanalyse everything people say, you assume the worst of other people or misinterpret things in negative ways. A conflagration is a large fire. If you have experienced depression, the effects of deteriorating self esteem can be paralleled to the feeling of your ego being cast alight. "Burn in your own hell Life grand holding cell" When depressed it is hard to get out of the mindset that comes with it. "Two become as one One become a slave" Becoming slave to a vice "Burn the eye to blind Keeping truth from mind Breathe in the life Breathe in the lie" Your perception is heavily altered perception as a product of being mentally ill, you breathe in a lie. "No longer are you human Just a leech of the addiction Loathing 'till insanity Mental deterioration" Slave to a vice "To destroy the faith In humanity Life shell - shocks your empty shell Hatred for those privileged unlike you" Jealousy of those who can live a prosperous normal life? "You think you will win But you can't face the System of self destruction Life skins mind bleeding dry Hatred for the self and the life" |
