No Return
Being Killed Lyrics

Burning like a wick
Life ends as quick
No return only forward
Find your salvation




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Being Killed's song No Return talk about the inevitability of death and the need to find salvation before it's too late. The opening lines, "Burning like a wick, life ends as quick," paint a vivid picture of the fleeting nature of life. The metaphor of a burning wick emphasizes that life is constantly fading away, just like a candle that eventually burns out. The following lines, "No return only forward, find your salvation," suggest that death is a one-way ticket, and that once it happens, there's no coming back. This sense of finality underscores the urgency to find salvation, whether that means a religious or spiritual salvation, or perhaps simply living one's life with purpose and meaning.


The song seems to be a reminder that our time on this earth is short and that we should strive to live our lives fully before it's too late. The lyrics may also be interpreted as a call to action, encouraging listeners to take hold of their own destiny and create their own path in life. In essence, the song is about embracing the present moment and living with intention and purpose.

I've never seen this movie.

I've watched zombie movies like Resident Evil, 28 Days later and Dawn Of The Dead.

I've even played video games related to zombies such as Resident Evil games, The last of Us and The House of the Dead.

But a zombie that talks and admits of eating brains to ease the pain. That does sound disturbing, man.

I'm gonna have to watch this movie.

The concept of zombies being sentient tragic creatures (and able to talk) should really make a comeback in the zombie genre. Them just being mindless automatons isn't as disturbing

@piglin469

I mean in my mind there are 2 types of zombies
Mindless copses controlled by infiction
Sentien beings with a apetite for brains and can use weapons

@hizpanicGam3r

@PIGLIN 469 how about both, a zombie who walks around screaming and crying because they can no longer have control of their body because of an infection

@piglin469

@hizpanicGam3r hmm fair play

@seasons1745

These were by far the scariest version of zombies I had ever seen. They were unkillable except by completely destroying them, smart enough to set up ambushes and traps, could sprint, and strong enough to rip people apart and crunch through bone. I remember having nightmares as a kid after having seen this movie.

@Rensune

There's only a handful of Zombies that are worse, and most of Those have literal Superpowers (Marvel Zombies, Dceased)

@dessertlimbo

@Rensune yeah that a doomed universe with retardedly overpowered zombies especially the hulk

@Rensune

@Dessert Limbo and that's before he gets the Power Cosmic.

Would you count the Flood (from Halo) as Zombies?
