Unhallowed Lyrics

Cover art for Unhallowed lyrics by Machine Head

After the previous track, this is where Eros sinks deeper into depression and the collapse of his morals. This is where he enters the “depths of depression” stage. He describes himself as an "empty soul" and a "ghost of monumental failure," indicating his deep sense of defeat and insignificance. Eros is just a shell of a man, but by the end, he seems to feel a sense of strength. Something inside him fills him with a desire to stay strong. A feeling of revenge-seeking that makes him want to defeat the malevolence that surrounds him. To find the thing that stole his family, and give justice. By the end, he becomes unhallowed, which is something that's been desecrated, having lost its purity and sacredness; He's becoming an unholy or wicked person.
