Agregator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Torn souls are too fragile
Searching bright, divine answers
Forgotten, deaf and blind
Just chant your hypocritical lies
And sink into self-chosen demise
Raise the sworn-believing scythe
It's too dark to see the nightmares
With the light so far behind
Oh - Useless fighting to hide
To hide from self-denial
Weeping icons, holy grails
Answer unaccountable ways
of God – Above all the condemned
With ignoration rule the herd
And chant hypocritical lies
Sink into your self-chosen demise
Below the sky of divine will
Still some heretic left to kill
It's too dark to see the nightmares
With the light so far behind
Oh - Useless fighting to hide
To hide from life tonight
Too dark to see – tonight
The sinners bear the light
Darkness of the ages
Came to an end
The scythes of the sworn-believers
(Are) Still out, sharp and blind
They'll rip your soul apart
In the name of their merciful god
Frozen thoughts of a dying present
Still serve their god now – a true belief
Their wisdom will close the mind
And forbid the answers of divine demise
The lyrics of Agregator's song Demise convey a sense of disillusionment and hopelessness in the face of religious dogma and the tyrannical power of the so-called "sworn-believers." The opening lines depict a world where individuality and questioning are seen as weaknesses, with "against aims so ashamed and sober" suggesting that those who deviate from the norm are made to feel guilty and alone. Meanwhile, "forgotten, deaf, and blind" implies that those who cling to faith are not truly seeking enlightenment, but rather seeking to avoid the harsh realities of the world around them. This is further illustrated in the lines "Searching bright, divine answers / Answer unaccountable ways of God," which suggest that those who seek comfort in religion are ultimately grasping at an elusive, intangible truth.
The second half of the song takes a more ominous turn, with the lyrics referencing the "sworn-believing scythe" and the "heretic left to kill." These lines underscore the sense of oppression and persecution that those who question religious dogma are likely to feel, with the implication being that their very souls are at risk if they do not conform. Meanwhile, the repeated refrain of "It's too dark to see the nightmares / With the light so far behind" suggests that hopelessness and despair are pervasive themes throughout the song.
Overall, Agregator's Demise is a bleak and powerful indictment of the dangers of religious extremism, and the toll that it can take on those who dare to question the status quo.
