Perdition
Phase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Acquired the demon of desire
The observer points his hand on you
Projects your fate through…
Perdition
Perdition’s in the air
You search for entrance to the fair
You have awakened it Beware
Walking restless though your life
Despair has been your loyal wife
The haunting's clearly up on you
Protects what’s been abused
Perdition
Perdition’s in the air
You search for entrance to the fair
You have awakened it Beware
Felt the thrill
Met conditions to reach to a deal
Sudden kill
Blind to see
Promises like a drop fell to sea
Let it be
Soundless voice
I feel the oncoming death, awful noise
Much rejoice
Set it free
Got to end that unbreakable spree
Search of me
Perdition
Perdition’s in the air
You search for entrance to the fair
You have awakened it beware
The lyrics to Phase's song Perdition suggest a person who has made a deal with the devil, or some demon of desire, and is now dealing with the consequences of their actions. The song starts with the line 'Stepped into the endless fire, acquired the demon of desire,' which suggests that the singer has actively sought out something that they knew would ultimately cause them pain. The line 'The observer points his hand on you, projects your fate through...' implies that the singer has become the subject of some larger power, which is now dictating their life.
The chorus states, 'Perdition's in the air, you search for entrance to the fair, you have awakened it Beware.' The word 'Perdition' refers to a state of eternal punishment, which is often used in reference to hell. This line suggests that the singer is now trapped in a cycle of pain and punishment, and that there is no way out. The line 'walking restless though your life, despair has been your loyal wife' implies that the singer is constantly plagued by negative thoughts and emotions.
The second verse suggests that the singer has made a deal with the devil, and 'felt the thrill, met the conditions to reach to a deal.' However, the consequences of this deal are now becoming apparent, and the singer is 'blind to see, promises like a drop fell to sea.' The song ends with the lines 'Perdition's in the air, you search for entrance to the fair, you have awakened it beware,' suggesting that the singer is now trapped in this cycle of pain and suffering, with little hope of escaping.
