The Blue
Acid Bath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see what you are
You want to kill the sun
Blot out the stars
I know you, you're nothing
You're so small
You're fucking nothing
Nothing at all
The sun burns on
It reminds me of you
The slit wrists of the sky
Bleeding into the blue
We twist beneath forever
Cause do you know what you've done
Ants in the afterbirth
We're slugs under the sun
I could not wake the dead man dreaming
Acid party, murder at the late show
Mutate me and breed yourselves a savior
I could not kill the dead man screaming
Eat my dead cock
Eat my dead cock
I have fallen deep in love with the sky
Fragments of a sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
Leaves will fall as everything must follow
Kill your idol, come on, jump into the void
Eat my cold shit
Everybody whispers where birds fall dead
I smell the yellow sickness churning inside your head
Wiping flecks of foam, twisting with rabies
Bloody, we run through these fields of dead daisies
How can I ever
Make you know what you've done
Ants in the afterbirth
We're slugs under the sun
I have fallen in love with the sky
Fragments of sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
"The Blue" by Acid Bath has lyrics that are open to interpretation. It's a dark song with elements of nihilism and despair. The opening lines, "Across your face, I see what you are, You want to kill the sun, Blot out the stars" suggests that the person addressed in the song wants to destroy everything in existence, including themselves. The next line, "I know you, you're nothing, You're so small, You're fucking nothing, Nothing at all" could indicate that the person is quite insignificant and powerless, but wants to exert control over their environment.
The song continues with lines like "The sun burns on, It reminds me of you, The slit wrists of the sky, Bleeding into the blue" which conveys the idea of destruction and pain, but also compares the person to something as grand and powerful as the sun. The lines "We twist beneath forever, Cause do you know what you've done, Ants in the afterbirth, We're slugs under the sun" suggests that we're all insignificant in the grand scheme of things, and that we're all going to die eventually.
The song is bleak and nihilistic, and it's up to the listener to decide how much of it is meant to be taken literally. Although the lyrics are heavy, the music is excellent, with the band's signature blend of heavy metal, sludge, and grunge.
Line by Line Meaning
Across your face
From the expression on your face
I see what you are
I can tell what your intentions are
You want to kill the sun
You desire to extinguish the sun
Blot out the stars
Erase or cover up the existence of the stars
I know you, you're nothing
I'm familiar with who you are, you're insignificant
You're so small
You're incredibly tiny
You're fucking nothing
You're completely worthless
Nothing at all
Absolutely no value or substance
The sun burns on
The sun continues to shine
It reminds me of you
I associate the sun with you
The slit wrists of the sky
The sky looks like it has been slashed open
Bleeding into the blue
Spilling its contents into the blue sky
We twist beneath forever
We remain twisted forever
Cause do you know what you've done
Are you aware of the consequences of your actions?
Ants in the afterbirth
Small and insignificant creatures in the aftermath
We're slugs under the sun
We are worthless and slow-moving creatures
I could not wake the dead man dreaming
I was unable to bring the sleeping person back to reality
Acid party, murder at the late show
Violent and chaotic events at a late night gathering
Mutate me and breed yourselves a savior
Change and modify me to create your own rescuer
I could not kill the dead man screaming
I was incapable of silencing the screaming corpse
Eat my dead cock
Metaphorical and vulgar statement to express frustration or anger towards someone
I have fallen deep in love with the sky
I have a profound admiration for the sky
Fragments of a sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
Sharp metallic object reflecting parts of sunlight
Leaves will fall as everything must follow
Nature follows a pattern of change and decay
Kill your idol, come on, jump into the void
Get rid of your role model and take a risk
Eat my cold shit
Another vulgar metaphor to vent frustration
Everybody whispers where birds fall dead
People talk in hushed tones when they encounter death
I smell the yellow sickness churning inside your head
I sense a feeling of illness or corruption in your mind
Wiping flecks of foam, twisting with rabies
Involuntary and erratic movements due to a disease
Bloody, we run through these fields of dead daisies
Moving through fields of deceased daisies while wounded
How can I ever
I am unsure how to
Make you know what you've done
Help you understand the gravity of your actions
Ants in the afterbirth
Insignificant beings in the aftermath
We're slugs under the sun
We are useless and helpless creatures
I have fallen in love with the sky
I am deeply fascinated by the beauty of the sky
Fragments of sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
The blade is reflecting part of a sunbeam

The cool thing about them is that the riffs and everything aren’t super complex, but the way the songs are structured with all the tempo changes and the drumming that drives it all is what makes Acid Bath stand out.
@toshiyababymama
This exactly!
@dotChrollo
For real though. Outside of God Machine, all of WTKSP is pretty easy to play, but the way everything's set up it just sounds so damn impressive
@oscarriley9265

He’s always reminded me of Tom Waits in a really strange way. Like if Tom Waits had one too many really bad acid trips
