Desolation
Agonize The Serpent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rescue me, you won't believe when you see
The darkness in my eyes, that nothing can set me free
I tear my eyes out but I have never seen clearer than this
The voices that call my name
They all seem to watch me
Will this torture ever end?
Maybe my life wasn't meant to be
Kill me and you'll uncover the truth
It's all an illusion, I was never alive to begin with
The voices that call my name
They all seem to watch me
Will this torture ever end?
Maybe my life wasn't meant to be
Dig my grave up and you will see that the coffin is empty
I lived on borrowed time, I made a deal with the devil (made a deal with the devil)
And I was never alive, I'm just a ghost stuck on an undead level
Will it never end
I pull the dagger from my neck as I wake up to reality
Save me, I'm not the man i portray to be
Rescue me and we escape this nightmare
The voices that call my name
They all seem to watch me
Will this torture ever end?
Maybe my life wasn't meant to be
The voices that call my name
They all seem to watch me
Will this torture ever end?
Maybe my life wasn't meant to be
The lyrics of Agonize The Serpent's song Desolation delve into themes of self-identity, desperation, and the feeling of being trapped in an eternal cycle of pain and suffering. The opening lines, "Save me, I'm not the man I portray to be / Rescue me, you won't believe when you see" suggest that the persona is struggling with their own self-image, feeling fake and like they need saving from their own lies.
The following lines, "The darkness in my eyes, that nothing can set me free / I tear my eyes out but I have never seen clearer than this" suggest that the persona feels trapped in their own darkness, unable to escape it. The repetition of "The voices that call my name / They all seem to watch me / Will this torture ever end? / Maybe my life wasn't meant to be" adds to the feeling of desperation and hopelessness.
The persona goes on to reveal that they made a deal with the devil, and were never truly alive, just a ghost stuck on an undead level. The final lines, "I pull the dagger from my neck as I wake up to reality / Save me, I'm not the man I portray to be / Rescue me and we escape this nightmare" suggest that the persona is finally waking up to the reality of their situation and wanting to be saved from their own cycle of pain.
