I guess I'll start it off here.

From what I can get from this, the song is from Dr. Richtofen's point of view. It makes since, seeing as he is a confirmed sociopath, therefore his view upon reality could be skewed (he thinks everything he experiences is not real, which he could have used to justify his cruel mentality).

When he says "they're in his head" it alludes to the voices in Richtofen's head (it was confirmed in the Black Ops Wiki that you can occasionally hear voices when you are playing as the Doctor).

When it says "I'm wretched but I'm powerful" it could mean that Richtofen has a god-complex, which isn't surprising, but it shows that he accepts that he is a terrible person, but he claims that he is the strongest of the four survivors.

Let me know what you guys think!

I can see where you're coming from but I have a different oppinon on the song. I think this song is about Samantha's (Maxis) split personalities. The parts of the songs that have the demonic filter on them are riddles. The answer to the first being ' A Shadow' and the answer to the second being 'Nothing.'

I think what we have here is like what the main character from Dead Space 2 suffers from. Samantha knows theres another person inside her mind, the Zombie side, and while she was previously trying her best to surpress it, it's not...

I can even back you up on this, Irishguy. the title says "Cadavre", but its pronounced "Cadaver, which is a dead body they use in MEDICAL schools to teach operations. It would make sense.

@ZombieQueen That's wrong. The song title is "Abracadvre", and it is not pronounced "Abracadver"
