Digital War
Asphyxia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Steel machines enabled to kill
Are paving the way to genocide
The sky above us is turning dark
Death engines are to slaughter humanity

I'll never throw away my feelings for you
Since you left there are some things I've been through
We finally are to wave blades and knives
Time passes by and up the strife, just come back in my life

I'll never throw away my feelings for you
Since you left there are some things I've been through
We finally are to wave blades and knives
Time passes by and up the strife, just come back in my life

Steel machines enabled to kill
Are paving the way to genocide
The sky above us is turning dark
Death engines are to slaughter humanity

I'll never throw away my feelings for you
Since you left there are some things I've been through




We finally are to wave blades and knives
Time passes by and up the strife, just come back in my life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Asphyxia's song Digital War describe a dark and dystopian future where machines have become the tools of destruction and death, leading to the potential for genocide. The imagery of steel machines enabled to kill and death engines slaughtering humanity conjures up a bleak and terrifying vision of the future. The sky above is turning dark as a result of these machines, adding to the overall feeling of doom and despair.


The chorus of the song adds an interesting contrast to the dark imagery of the verses. The singer addresses someone they have feelings for, saying that they will never throw away those feelings, despite the hardships they have faced since the person left. They mention the idea of "waving blades and knives," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggles and conflicts of life. The plea for the person to come back into their life adds a layer of personal emotion to the song, amidst the broader themes of destruction and chaos.

Maybe it's only me, but I'm almost sure that samples from 3:13 to 3:27 are taken from Klaus Doldinger's soundtrack to The Neverending Story :) strange placement for them if so
