Bludgeoned to Death
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brain begins to haemorrage, it's breaking at the root
Spitting out pure clots, relief you do not find
Hammer strikes your temple and opens up your mind
Blacken out, death waits to take your corpse
Amazing your alive, after the blows you've absorbed
Violent convulsion, head wounds bleed and clot
They'll soon find you decayed in some secluded spot
The lyrics of Atrocity's song Bludgeoned to Death paint a vivid picture of the brutality and violence of a fatal assault. The first verse describes the attacker smashing in the victim's skull, comparing it to a ripe fruit. The violent act causes the victim's brain to haemorrhage and break at the root, leading to the expulsion of pure clots. The second verse continues in the same graphic style, describing how a hammer strike to the temple opens up the victim's mind. The chorus foreshadows the inevitable outcome of the attack, with death waiting to take the victim's corpse.
The lyrics are disturbing and unsettling, but they effectively convey the senseless and brutal nature of the assault. Throughout the song, there is a sense of detachment and dehumanization, as the victim is reduced to a lifeless object, with no mention of their identity or background. The final line of the song suggests that the victim's body will be found in a secluded spot, adding to the sense of isolation and anonymity.
