They follow me every day
Right behind me
Fucking around
No way to escape
No place to hide
Everywhere
Anytime
Anyhow
No escape
No place to hide
This is how I feel all around
This is the day I will deny
All my beliefs
All my whole life
You are my entity behind me
You are the creature that is hiding
You are my (dark) side
My damnation
You are the entity inside me
All the universe behind me
It's a fall
This is my empire
The lyrics in Alien Vampires' song Entity express a feeling of being constantly followed and pursued by dark and malevolent beings. The singer feels trapped and cannot find a place to hide or escape from the creatures that hound them. The tone of the lyrics is full of despair and a sense of hopelessness, with the singer expressing the desire to deny everything they have believed in their whole life.
The lyrics take a darker turn with the revelation that the entity behind the singer is actually a part of them. It is their "dark side" and "damnation," and it has taken over their whole being. The singer feels that the entire universe is against them, emphasizing the enormity of their struggle.
The final line "this is my empire" could be interpreted in a few ways. It could be the singer succumbing to the darkness and embracing their new identity, or it could be a declaration of fighting back and taking control of the situation.
Overall, Entity is a haunting and intense track that conveys a strong message of struggling against the inner demons that plague us all.
