Dehumanized
Acrostichon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A THREAT TO NO ONE
WEAK AND HUMBLED, IN MY DISGRACE
SWEET DEPARTURE, IS WHAT I LONG FOR
CARELESS MOMENTS, TO COMFORT ME
DEAD PHILOSOPHY
WILL YOU CARRY ME AWAY
I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE
TO BE DEHUMANIZED AGAIN
LEFT BEHIND
TOO DETERMINED
TO BE FORGOTTEN
NOTHING LEFT TO, ENRAPTURE ME
HARD AND SILENT, SOFTLY BREAKING
NO BELOVED, TO COMFORT ME
DEAD PHILOSOPHY
IF I OFFER YOU MY SOUL
WILL YOU CARRY ME AWAY
I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE
TO BE DEHUMANIZED AGAIN
LEFT BEHIND
FEEL THE DETERMINATION BUILT INTO MY MIND
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO FIND ME
I'LL WIPE THE WORLD AWAY
YOUR FACE IT WILL REMNIND ME
JUST HOW MUCH I HAVE TO LEAVE
The lyrics of the song Dehumanized by Acrostichon express a sense of despair and hopelessness. The singer is lost in slumber and feels weak and humbled, in their state of disgrace. They long for a sweet departure to comfort them in their careless moments. Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of dehumanization, as the singer feels like they are nothing and have no one to comfort them. The harshness of reality is captured in the lyrics as the singer searches for something to hold on to but finds nothing. The idea of offering their soul to be carried away is an expression of the singer's desperate desire to escape the world and the torment that comes with it. The intensity of these feelings is evident in the repeated refrains of the song, emphasizing the idea that the singer cannot be the only one to feel dehumanized and left behind.
The underlying philosophy of the song seems to be one of nihilism, expressing the belief that life is meaningless and there is no hope for redemption. The idea of a dead philosophy suggests that nothing can bring meaning to the singer's life, and they feel trapped in their suffering with no hope of relief. The final lines of the song are particularly poignant as the singer declares that they will wipe the world away and leave everything behind. This is a powerful statement of rejection of life, and it seems to be the only way the singer can find any sense of comfort.
