Descent
Black Amethyst Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't see there was more than the core of the problem of this
Useless fucking fight
I was aiming through a sight with limited field of vision
I looked away and saw the world for what it really is
I can make it right
The time has come to end it all
Into the flames
Back to their graves
Back to being slaves of hell
I just realized that all this time there wasn't just one enemy
One has been compromised, he lost this fight but I was blind, I couldn't see
I helped the other side
The time has come to end it all
Defeat the demons and let them fall
Into the flames
Back to their graves
Back to being slaves of hell
Now I see and now I know that I can't leave one standing
Even though to save his home, he killed by just defending
Now I see and now I know that I can't leave one standing
Even though to save his home, he killed by just defending
Now I see and now I know that I can't leave one standing
Even though to save his home, he killed by just defending
Now I see and now I know that I can't leave one standing
Even though to save his home, he killed by just defending
He too has to die
The time has come to end it all
Defeat the demons and let them fall
Into the flames
Back to their graves
Back to being slaves of hell
The lyrics to Black Amethyst's song "Descent" delve into the personal journey of the singer who realizes that achieving their goals did not bring fulfillment to the emptiness in their heart. They acknowledge that they were only seeing a limited perspective of the world, focusing solely on the core problem at hand. However, they have a moment of clarity, shifting their gaze away and truly seeing the world for what it is. They believe they have the power to make things right.
The song takes a darker turn as the singer decides it is time to confront their demons and bring an end to the ongoing battle. They express a desire to defeat these inner demons and watch them fall into the flames, returning to their dark graves and reclaiming their role as slaves of hell.
In the second verse, the singer realizes that there isn't just one enemy they have been fighting against. They reflect on how one of their adversaries had already been compromised and lost the fight, but they were blind to this fact and unknowingly assisted the other side. This realization magnifies their determination to end it all and ensure that no enemies are left standing.
The repetition in the final stanza emphasizes the singer's resolve. They understand that even though one of their enemies fought to defend their home, killing in the process, they cannot allow anyone to survive. They state that he too has to die, highlighting the relentless pursuit of their goals and the necessity to eliminate all opposition.
Overall, "Descent" explores themes of internal struggles, self-realization, and the relentless pursuit of one's goals, despite the moral ambiguities that may arise along the way.
