Departed
Armory Infirmary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Consume me
My thoughts are eating me alive
consume me
My senses in tune with
every move you make
A haunting A binding conducting your mistakes
The feeling of failure becomes your only friend.
find its way back again.
What's left of me?
What's left inside to see?
My right to be was taken from me.
Why do I fall with each passing day?
As I look to the light I can see your face.
How can I feel right when all I see is wrong?
I'll take my time and find my way home.
Here you go again,
taking all of it back.
Betraying all my trust,
stealing all my friends.
I think that you've been mistaken.
When all darkness falls comes creation.
In the song "Departed" by Armory Infirmary, the lyrics talk about being consumed by your own thoughts and emotions. The singer feels haunted by someone's mistakes and is unable to find the truth they seek. They feel like they have lost their sense of self, and wonder what is left of them now. They feel like they have been betrayed and lost all their trust in someone, which has resulted in them losing their friends as well. Despite all this negativity, the singer is still searching for the light and trying to find their way home.
The lines "My thoughts are eating me alive, consume me" give a sense of how overwhelming and all-consuming the singer's thoughts are. They feel like they cannot escape them, and that they are slowly destroying them from within. The mention of "every move you make" and "your mistakes" suggest that the source of their pain is someone else's actions. The line "The feeling of failure becomes your only friend" suggests that the sense of failure is something the singer has become familiar with, and perhaps feels more comfortable with than trying and failing to find the truth. The lyrics "As I look to the light I can see your face" suggests that they may be looking to this person as a source of hope, despite the pain they have caused.
The line "When all darkness falls comes creation" is an interesting one. It suggests that from darkness, something new can arise, such as creativity or growth. It is almost like a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak song.
