Abyssic Hate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the wounds are hidden so you cannot feel the pain
For I have chosen the path of misery and sorrow
And my skin will continue to wither and decay
Happiness - where are you?
Will this grief be swept away?
As reality blends into horrific dreams
My departure from Earth is getting near
And as I approach death, I'll show no fear
I need you here to ease this pain
For I fear it shall never dissipate
Yet you are so far away and the blood continues to flow
I felt your warmth - I can't touch your skin
Remembering, as the knife caresses my flesh
And I summon forth suffering and despair
Yet it is something I do not wish to do
My blood absorbs the poisons
Drugged, confused - the walls enclose around me
My mind is so high - my spirit continues to fall
And the anguish recedes as life slips away
Breathless, I beckon eternal sleep
For I shall live no more to be with you
As I see your fate appear through the mist
The lyrics of Abyssic Hate's song "Betrayed" depict the feelings of someone who has been betrayed and is consumed by their darkest fears, which have unfortunately become a frightening reality. The wounds they carry are hidden so that no one can feel the pain they are going through. They have chosen a path of misery and sorrow which has caused their skin to wither and decay. The person longs for happiness, but their grief seems never-ending.
The lyrics express the desire for the madness to stop, or else they will leave this world. The person's reality has blended with horrific dreams, and they feel that their departure from this earth is getting closer. They have accepted death and will show no fear, as they feel there is nothing left for them in this world. They need someone to ease their pain, but the person they long for is far away, and their blood continues to flow.
The lyrics also depict the person's memory of feeling the warmth of the person they love, but they cannot touch their skin anymore. The person remembers the knife caressing their flesh, bringing forth suffering and despair, even though they do not wish to experience those emotions. The person is drugged and confused, and their mind is high, but their spirit falls. As the anguish recedes, they beckon eternal sleep, as they will live no more to be with the one they love, but see their fate appear through the mist.

@NileBowie
I constantly spun this album, and this song in particular, in my youth. Play it loud.
@Stigmatix666
Serious Burzum vibes, but enough identity to stand solidly on it's own!
@n4ttevandring
Every noisy guitar is Burzum now? There's nothing of Burzum here.
@Stigmatix666
