Seasons in Black
Atrocity Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dem Tod gerade entsprungen
Die Jahreszeit der Lebensfreud'
Dunkle Weisheit hab' ich errungen
Ich bin ein Teufelskind

Bezaubernd, toter Himmel
Soll sÃ¼hnen all mein Leid
Auf der Suche nach Vergeltung

Oh, gottverdammte Menschenheit

All my ways left in sorrow
My pain is always yours
No beauty, no more mercy
And my seasons...
Seasons are black

Seasons in black, Seasons in black
Seasons in black, Seasons in black

Und das FrÃ¼hjahr ist schwarz, so schwarz

Wie Fallobst auf schwarze Erde
Klatscht der Kopf auf den Morast
Es weht die leblos' Seele
Und erstarrt I'm eisigen Frost

Summer's day or winter's night
My world will always be
Without beauty and without mercy
'cause my seasons...
My seasons are black

Seasons in black, Seasons in black
Seasons in black, Seasons in black
Und der Sommer ist schwarz, so schwarz

Und der Herbst ist schwarz, so schwarz

Und der Winter ist schwarz, so schwarz
Seasons in black, Seasons in black...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Atrocity's song "Seasons in Black" convey a bleak and nihilistic outlook of life, with the singer describing himself as a devil's child who has attained dark wisdom after escaping from death. The joy of life represented by the seasons is twisted into an image of blackness and despair, reflecting the singer's sense of alienation and bitterness towards humanity. The opening lines suggest that the singer has narrowly avoided dying and has gained an insight into the nature of existence that is both bleak and profound. The use of the German word "Tod" (death) in this context adds a sense of foreboding and doom to the lyrics.

The imagery of the dead sky and the search for revenge against humanity implies a deep sense of anger and resentment towards the world. The line "All my ways left in sorrow, my pain is always yours" highlights the singer's belief that suffering is a universal condition that is shared by all. The repetition of the phrase "Seasons in black" throughout the song further emphasizes the idea that life is a dark and joyless experience. The final lines of the song enumerate the seasons as being black, suggesting that the darkness and emptiness inside the singer are not limited to a particular time of year but are present always.
