Trauma
Become The Watcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It hurt so fucking deep we can still fucking feel it
Anything that reminds you of it results in panic
Fire in all of your senses
Seared into your memory
Fire in all of your senses
Seared into your memory
And it's not over yet
You weren't prepared
Caught unaware
Out of the blue overpowering you
Frozen in place such easy prey
You want to fight back
You try to fight back
But you're just no match for them
You can't forget what they did
It's your curse
Now you have overwhelming fear
You can't even leave your house
You live life in disbelief
You don't even trust yourself
Fire in all of your senses
Seared, into your memory
Fire in all of your senses
Seared into your memory
We all have a memory that we can never forget
It hurt so fucking deep we can still fucking feel it
Anything that reminds you of it results in panic
They will never forget
What they did to you that night
Life will be affected
Until the day that you die
Soulless demons scorn our story
Etched out since they touched me
They would sell your soul
Good as dead
These lyrics delve into the lasting impact of traumatic experiences and how they can haunt and control our lives. The songwriter acknowledges that we all have memories that we can never forget, memories that hurt us deeply and continue to affect us emotionally. The pain is described as something so intense that it can still be felt even long after the actual event occurred. Any reminders of the traumatic experience can trigger panic and ignite a fire in all of our senses, searing the memory into our minds.
The second paragraph speaks to the vulnerability and powerlessness often felt in the face of trauma. The person was caught off guard and unprepared, completely taken by surprise. The sudden and overwhelming nature of the trauma renders them frozen and vulnerable, like easy prey. Although they want to fight back and resist, they are no match for the perpetrators. The memory of what was done to them becomes a curse that they cannot escape.
The third paragraph dives deeper into the consequences of the trauma. The person now lives with overwhelming fear, to the extent that they are unable to leave their house. They find it difficult to believe that such a traumatic incident even happened to them and struggle to trust themselves and others. The fire in their senses, mentioned again here, continues to burn and sear the memory into their consciousness.
The final paragraph shifts the focus to the perpetrators, referring to them as "soulless demons." The songwriter suggests that these individuals, who caused such severe trauma, will never forget what they did. The effects of their actions will continue to impact the person's life until their own death. The phrase "etched out since they touched me" conveys the deep, lasting scars left by the trauma. The mention of selling one's soul implies that the perpetrators were willing to harm others for their own gain, without any regard for the consequences or the damage inflicted. The person affected by the trauma is left feeling defeated, almost as if their soul has been extinguished.

You weren't prepared
Caught off guard and unprepared for what was to come
Caught unaware
Suddenly confronted without any forewarning or anticipation
Out of the blue overpowering you
Without warning, it overwhelms and dominates your being
Frozen in place such easy prey
Paralyzed and unable to react, vulnerable and easily victimized
You want to fight back
A strong desire to defend oneself emerges
You try to fight back
Exerting effort to resist and stand up against the tormentors
But you're just no match for them
Despite your efforts, you are powerless and incapable of overcoming them
You can't forget what they did
The actions they perpetrated are impossible to erase from your memory
It's your curse
The lingering trauma becomes a burdensome affliction that you are forced to bear
Now you have overwhelming fear
Presently, a consuming fear dominates your being
You can't even leave your house
The fear has become so intense that it prevents you from venturing outside your home
You live life in disbelief
Every day is spent in a state of disbelief and incredulity, unable to fully process what has occurred
You don't even trust yourself
Distrust even permeates the relationship you have with your own thoughts and actions
They will never forget
The perpetrators will forever remember the harm they inflicted
What they did to you that night
The atrocious acts committed against you during that fateful night
Life will be affected
Your entire existence will be influenced and marked by the traumatic experience
Until the day that you die
The impact endures until the very end of life
Soulless demons scorn our story
Heartless beings mock and disregard our tale of suffering
Etched out since they touched me
Indelibly marked from the moment they made contact
They would sell your soul
They would gladly trade your very essence for their own gain
Good as dead
Rendered lifeless, devoid of vitality and hope
