Torture
Beborn Beton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worlds between us, although you're near me
The cold came creeping in the night
And this rain weakens my brain
Hate is the kiss when you awake
A vision of a red, red rose
So the clown starts his last song
While a light end the sun
Now we're 200 miles away from the sea
And I'm standing in the doorway
Your eyes are lying at me still
And then you slowly shut the door
The smell of death is hanging in the air
And I see little children burning
While it rains dead cats and dogs
I look to the sky - where's a god?
Can't you see it's torture for me
And this is why I hate you now,
All I want is to forget you
I can live without you now!
Can't you see it's torture for me
And this is why I hate you now,
All I want is to forget you
I can live without you now!
Can't you see it's torture for me
And this is why I hate you now,
All I want is to forget you
I can live without you now!
Can't you see it's torture for me
And this is why I hate you now,
All I want is to forget you
I can live without you now!
Can't you see it's torture for me
And this is why I hate you now,
All I want is to forget you
I can live without you now!
Can't you see it's torture for me
And this is why I hate you now,
All I want is to forget you
I can live without you now!
Can't you see it's torture for me
This is why I hate you now
Can't you see it's torture for me
This is why I hate you now
The song "Torture" by Beborn Beton is a melancholic and soulful reflection on the singer's pain and longing for release from the emotional suffering that comes from a failed relationship. The opening lines suggest a sense of distance and disconnection between the singer and their significant other, as they wander through the streets feeling worlds apart despite being in close proximity. The imagery of rain and cold serves as a metaphor for the singer's mental state, which is affected by the pain of memories and the love they once shared.
The next lines reference hate, symbolized by a kiss that awakens the singer each morning, a vision of a red rose, an object traditionally associated with love, is now associated with pain and heartbreak. The singer then reflects on a clown singing his last song, symbolizing the end of an era, perhaps the end of their relationship. The line "while the light ends the sun" suggests a feeling of finality and closure, as the sun sets on their love.
In the final stanza, the singer paints a stark and gruesome image of the world around them, with the smell of death and the burning of children, creating an apocalyptic atmosphere. The questions asked in the lines "where's a god?" suggest a feeling of hopelessness and despair, as they try to make sense of their surroundings. The repeated chorus "can't you see it's torture for me, this is why I hate you now, all I want is to forget you, I can live without you now" summarizes the singer's desire to move on from their pain and suffering and live without the one who caused it.

The street's running under our feet
We are walking on the same street, but we are worlds apart.
Worlds between us, although you're near me
Although we are physically close, we are emotionally distant.
The cold came creeping in the night
I felt emotionally frozen and alone when you left me.
And this rain weakens my brain
The constant rain reminds me of my sadness and makes it hard to think clearly.
Hate is the kiss when you awake
Waking up to the realization that you are gone fills me with hate and pain.
A vision of a red, red rose
Despite the hate, I can't help but remember the good times we shared.
So the clown starts his last song
As my world falls apart, I'm reminded of the mocking laughter of a clown.
While a light end the sun
Everything that once brought light to my life has come to an abrupt end.
Now we're 200 miles away from the sea
We are physically distant from everything that used to bring us happiness.
And I'm standing in the doorway
I am standing at the threshold of a before and after, trying to move on.
Your eyes are lying at me still
Even though you're gone, I can still feel the weight of your disappointment and judgement.
And then you slowly shut the door
As you leave, all I'm left with is the echo of a door closing and the pain it represents.
The smell of death is hanging in the air
I feel dead to the world, like the very life has been sucked out of me.
And I see little children burning
The world around me is filled with pain and destruction, and even the innocent suffer.
While it rains dead cats and dogs
The world around me is dark and twisted, with no semblance of comfort or joy.
I look to the sky - where's a god?
I question everything I once believed in, looking to the heavens for any sign of hope or reason.
Can't you see it's torture for me
My pain is overwhelming, and I wish you could see how much you've hurt me.
And this is why I hate you now
The depth of my pain has turned into anger and hatred for you.
All I want is to forget you
The only way to escape my pain is to completely forget you and move on.
I can live without you now!
Despite the pain, I know I can survive and thrive without you in my life.
