this song is pure metal... it's almost unholy. Did anyone else catch the very pure and distinct Swedish metal aspect to the song? Ie: the harmonics the kind of accent the lingering vocal melody to the chorus adding an intimate and softer yet darker flare to the song as a whole? I think it was that couple with the purely RIGHTEOUS tune to the chorus "confinement binds you... but nothing scares me, nothing thrills me... I've fooled myself into believing... that nothing ails me, nothing kills me..."
^ that right there makes me feel divine... it's so powerful... and the delivery is simply stupendous.
It's almost vampirical in nature really...
Nothing scares me for I am the immortal...
Nothing thrills me (brought on by the vampirical curse... no pleasure is satisfying... nothing mundane is really pleasureable.)
I've fooled myself into believing that nothing ails me.... this is an interesting line... for it reveals the other side and the more ironic spin on the note of the vampire reference. vampires are ultimately ONLY ailed by their own immortality. they are plagued with the curse of living for eternity and never being at piece.
Nothing kills me... of course still stands.
Basically the lyrics complement righteous chord progressions and near technical perfection in this song quite nicely...
there is a classic element as well as a newer, double bass-y flashier driving element as well as a hint of swedish THOR thrashing righteousness that make this song well balanced and meaningful.
Ilove you Darkest Hour.
