Scavengers of the Damned
Aiden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Well I'm dead!
Tell the world" she said
And the funeral came alive
I collect
Every flower sent
From hell down to the fire

Fall down sick, I'm not insane
(I'm feeling oh so full of shame)
Death has come to set us free
(Come set me free)

Oh, it's up to me
To make you fucking bleed
We are the scavengers
Scavengers of the damned

We kill
We're the demons still, in an empty, patterned sky
Well good bye
To all the lives I stole
And the funeral came alive

Fall down sick, I'm not insane
(I'm feeling oh so full of shame)
Death has come to set us free
(Come set me free)

Oh, it's up to me
To make you fucking bleed
We are the scavengers
Scavengers of the damned

Oh, it's up to me
To make you fucking bleed
We are the scavengers
Scavengers of the damned

Oh, it's up to me
To make you fucking bleed
We are the scavengers
Scavengers of the damned

(Hey, hey)
If you want love
(Hey, hey)
If you crave death
(Hey, hey)
Define us
Out of the darkness

(Hey, hey)
If you want love
(Hey, hey)
If you crave death
(Hey, hey)
Well, define us
Out of the darkness

Oh, it's up to me
To make you fucking bleed
We are the scavengers
The scavengers of the damned

Oh, it's up to me
To make you fucking bleed
We are the scavengers
The scavengers of the damned

Oh, it's up to me
To make you fucking bleed
We are the scavengers
The scavengers of the damned

Oh, it's up to me
To make you fucking bleed
We are the scavengers




The scavengers of the damned
Damned

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aiden's song "Scavengers of the Damned" contain dark and intense themes of death and violence, woven together with a hauntingly beautiful melody. The song begins with the words "Well I'm dead, tell the world," spoken by an unknown voice, which sets the tone for the rest of the song. It appears that the singer has died, and the funeral has come to life as if it were planned by the deceased. The lyrics go on to describe how the singer is collecting every flower sent, whether from hell or fire, implying that they have travelled through different realms of existence.


The second part of the song is a reflection by the singer on their state of mind. They feel sick, haunted by the shame of their actions, yet liberated by the thought of death. The refrain "Oh, it's up to me to make you fucking bleed, we are the scavengers, scavengers of the damned" is repeated several times. It is a violent statement that seems to express the singer's desire to get revenge on someone or something that has wronged them. The song concludes with the words "Out of the darkness," which could be interpreted in different ways, either as an aspiration for a new beginning or as a metaphor for death and rebirth.

This is really amazing, can I just say?
Also, everyone who's saying that the girl on the table is terrible at acting dead: She's not supposed to be dead. It's a bondage dinner.
