Asylum
Asylum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to the place
Where your dreams are burn
Where the void rapes you
And god masturbates

The void rapes
And god masturbates
Welcome to the place
Where your life drowns
Where your body is a corpse
And the devil laughs

Your life drowns
And the devil laughs

This is the place
Where your brain goes insane

You're in the place
Where angels sin

This is the place
Where your heart loses light

You're in the place
Where the demons come to excite

Hell, hell
Welcome to the asylum

Hell, hell
Feel the asylum

Hell, hell
Welcome to the asylum

Hell
Hell, hell
Hell

I sleep in the abyss

Welcome to the place
Where you only see mist

You know you love it here

Why do I like this?

Welcome to the place
Where death gives you a kiss

Now you can see you are crazy

Hell, hell
Welcome to the asylum

Hell, hell
Feel the asylum

Hell, hell
Welcome to the asylum
Hell, hell

Welcome to the place
Where the funeral turns circus

And with special appearance
Of our best clown
Jesus

Hell, hell
Welcome to the asylum

Hell, hell
Feel the asylum

Hell, hell
Welcome to the asylum

Hell
Hell

Hell, hell
Welcome to the asylum

Hell, hell
Feel the asylum

Hell, hell
Welcome to the asylum





Hell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Asylum's song "Asylum" convey a dark and provocative exploration of the human psyche and the concept of madness. The song sets a sinister tone right from the start, welcoming listeners to a place where their dreams are destroyed and their sense of self is violated. The line "Where the void rapes you and god masturbates" metaphorically captures the overwhelming sense of despair and abandonment that the singer is experiencing.


The repetition of the phrase "The void rapes and god masturbates" emphasizes the twisted and perverse nature of this asylum-like realm. It suggests a complete breakdown of moral and spiritual boundaries, where the powers that be (represented by "god") are indifferent and even derive pleasure from the suffering of those trapped in this metaphorical asylum.


The lyrics continue to depict a place where life is drowning and the devil's laughter underscores the absence of hope and the presence of evil. The refrain "Your life drowns and the devil laughs" highlights the cruel and mocking nature of the forces at play in this asylum, reinforcing the theme of darkness and oppression.


The following verses introduce the idea of insanity taking hold in this realm, with the lyrics stating, "This is the place where your brain goes insane." Here, the asylum is depicted as a place where the mind becomes unhinged, further deepening the sense of psychological torment and confusion.


The chorus, repeating the phrase "Hell, hell, Welcome to the asylum," repeatedly invokes the feeling of being trapped in a place of eternal torment. The use of "asylum" here suggests not only a physical location but also a state of mind, where the extremes of suffering and pleasure converge.


The song ends with a final provocative image, depicting a funeral turning into a circus, with the appearance of the clown-like figure of Jesus. This juxtaposition of death and entertainment, along with the mocking presence of a religious figure, intensifies the subversion of societal norms and the unveiling of a twisted reality within the asylum.


Overall, these lyrics paint a vivid and unsettling picture of a mental and emotional abyss, where the lines between pleasure, pain, madness, and religion are blurred. The song challenges listeners to engage with the complexities of the human experience and confront the darker aspects of their own psyche.

Yeah... let’s take a look at a few options for women who needed some form of release.

Firstly, in the Catholic world, there was- and still is- Confession. It was expected of women to confess daily, though its likely these visits served more as a kind of psychotherapy session than anything.

Secondly, many doctors were trained for coitus with women. Yes, doctors often had sex with female clients, even married women. It’s possible this is the result of the “fainting woman” stereotype, as a fainting spell would immediately lead to a doctors visit, and likely, orgasmic release. It became such a problem that doctors of the time actually created the first vibrators.

Next, “Cigarettes”. Cigar + the suffix ette. A cigar for women. Unfortunately cigarettes caused several health risks, which went largely unknown at the time. So... good or bad, you decide.

Yeah, women have had it bad in the past. As has everyone else. But no woman in the western world has ever had it as bad as a woman in the Middle East, who could be stoned to death for speaking out of turn. If she was lucky.

it's kinda ironic that the people who ran the asylums should've been put in there as patients themselves.
