Bloodletting
Abyssic Hate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My shadowed spirit has become a hollow void
There is no solace nothing left but pain
Forever I am called to cross into the unknown
Yet there is a fear which I don't understand
I must retreat from this grasp of life
Embracing the dark, rejoicing in this pain
Forever I'll roam in the realm of my God
I shall escape all that I hate

I am beyond their emotions
I am at one with the dead

Revile and despise the traditions of mankind
Crush the barriers that enslave your soul
And pass the gate to the netherworld
Enter the realm where evil prevails

I drift off into foreign worlds from the fear of mortal life
Pains of steel sweep my arm; I seek the land where humanity dies




The blade does caress my neck and the life flows from the wound
No longer to be mortal, I'll now exist as a God

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Abyssic Hate's "Bloodletting" are a haunting and introspective reflection on the desire to escape from the pain and emptiness of life. The singer is consumed by a feeling of "hollow void," indicating a deep sense of meaninglessness and detachment from the world around them. The pain and suffering they experience are all that remain, with no solace or comfort to be found. Despite this, the singer is driven by a nameless fear of the unknown, which holds them back from fully embracing the darkness and finding release from their suffering.


The solution, it seems, is to reject the traditions and barriers of human society, and to embrace the realm of the dead where evil reigns. The singer sees themselves as having transcended the emotional constraints of humanity, and their ultimate goal is to achieve godhood and escape mortality once and for all. The final image of the singer being killed and transformed into a god is a powerful one, suggesting a complete rejection of the limitations and pains of human existence.
