Stillborn
Black Label Society Zakk Wylde and Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blind me
Erase what was
Stillborn, I have become

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long

So empty
Just a shell of a man
Stillborn, this I understand

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long

I've waited here for you, so long

I've waited here for you, for you

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long
I’ve waited here for you, so long
I’ve waited here for you, so long




I’ve waited here for you, so long
I’ve waited here for you, for you

Overall Meaning

The song "Stillborn" by Black Label Society featuring Zakk Wylde and Ozzy Osbourne is a dark and melancholic reflection on the loss of oneself. The lyrics describe a person who has become emotionally numb and feels like a shell of their former self. The repetitive use of the word "Stillborn" emphasizes the idea of emotional death or a loss of vitality. The singer longs for something, or someone, to fill the void they feel, but they have been waiting for so long that hope is fading.


The lyrics could be interpreted in several ways, but one possibility is that they are talking about the aftermath of a broken relationship. The singer may have loved someone deeply but was ultimately rejected or abandoned, leaving them feeling hollow and lifeless. Alternatively, they could be describing a deeper existential crisis, where the person has lost touch with their sense of purpose and meaning in life. The song's emphasis on waiting and emptiness contributes to a sense of hopelessness and despair, making it a poignant reflection on the human experience.
