Benighted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
L'homme est assis, violemment immobile.
Il trempe sa lame dans la médiocrité,
Et dans le sang la pointe immaculée
Ivre mort, suspendu aux lèvres du mépris
Il compose et un long sillon coule.
Il écorche l'esquisse jusqu'à en fléchir la trame
A l'ornière ruisselle l'éclat de ma structure viscérale
Le prisme et ses reflets ne renvoient que des cendres
Les bases sont fondées.
Ma part d'ombre t'appartient,
Tu porteras mes chaînes
L’œuvre inachevée, tableau de mon âme déconstruite
Ma part d'ombre t'appartient désormais.
Tu restes aveugle, tes mains tracent avec le mauvais sang
Ta signature sera celle de mon irréversible perte,
A laquelle je suis enchaîné
Le mauvais guette, à l'affût de l'usure du temps,
Qui le laissera paraître
Et prendre le dessus lorsque l'écorce s'effritera.
Être de sable, chroniqueur de la lune qui ne peut se mouvoir
sans ces deux sabres au sein de ce trou noir,
discordants pouvoirs,
de cette guerre interne naîtra l'esquisse,
cauchemar, existence féerique, apathie ou bien haine exquise.
Tu peux brûler ma langue, écorcher mes paupières,
Je saurai malgré tout
Et je rêve d'un nœud coulant se refermant inexorablement sur ma gorge.
The lyrics of Benighted's song "Grind Wit" convey a dark and disturbing vision of human psyche, with vivid descriptions of violence, bloodshed, and psychological torture. The lines paint a surrealistic picture of a man sitting motionless while dipping his blade in mediocrity and immaculate blood, drunk on the scorn he receives from others. The imagery is grotesque and unsettling, with references to mucous, visceral structures, and ashes reflecting the bleakness of the human condition.
The singer's part in this madness is also revealed, as he seems to offer his shadow to the man in exchange for bearing his chains. The unfinished work of his soul is likened to a painting, the signature of which will result in his irreversible loss. The song is a disturbing meditation on the duality of human nature, the horrors of creative processes, and the struggle for self-awareness and acceptance.
