Hellfire
Black Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The warmth fills my body
This feeling will always stay the same
I will only ever feel pain
I feel there's no escaping
The only thing that is left is aching
No doubt this is my stay
Will I ever hear from him again
The only thing left is regret
I feel there's no escaping
The only thing that is left is aching
Sorrows growing deeper inside
Decaying my mind
No time to wonder why
Rotten memories in need to purify
The damage is done
No one will forgive
Me
cs I look a last time to the sun
Hellfire has begun
I know there's no escaping
The only thing that is left is aching
Sorrow is deep inside
Decayed through my mind
No time to wonder why
Rotten memories are purified
Cleansed my soul will be
I will never be free
This is my final stay
I will never lead astray
Come to me child
cnd give in
Take my hand
Free yourself from sin
The choices are gone
I won't deny it
Ruined is my life
But somehow I'm satisfied
Die
I want to feel hellfire
Burn like a funeral pyre
I feel the need to give in
cnd free myself from sin
I want to feel hellfire
The flames are growing higher
This is my last desire
This is the end
Let me burn in hellfire
The lyrics of Black Rabbit's song "Hellfire" depict a deep sense of despair and resignation, with the singer finding themselves consumed by their own pain and regret. The opening lines set a melancholic tone, as the singer acknowledges the unrelenting nature of their suffering and the sense that there is no escape from it. They express a longing for connection and reconciliation, questioning if they will ever hear from someone important to them again, while grappling with feelings of sadness and regret.
As the song progresses, the singer's inner turmoil becomes more pronounced, with the sorrow growing deeper and infecting their mind. The mention of "rotten memories in need to purify" suggests a desire to cleanse themselves of past hurts and mistakes, yet the damage has been done and forgiveness seems out of reach. The imagery of the sun symbolizing the beginning of hellfire evokes a sense of impending doom and a feeling of being trapped in their suffering, with no respite in sight.
The chorus of the song intensifies the theme of anguish and a desire for release, with the singer expressing a yearning to feel the all-consuming fire of hell as a form of catharsis. The repetition of the line "The only thing that is left is aching" reinforces their sense of hopelessness and resignation to their fate. Despite the bleakness of their circumstances, there is a strange sense of acceptance and even satisfaction with their impending demise, as they embrace the idea of burning in hellfire as a final act of liberation from their sins and sorrows.
In the final verses, the singer seems to surrender to their fate completely, accepting that their choices have led them to this point and relinquishing any hope of redemption. The repetitive mantra of wanting to feel hellfire and be consumed by it conveys a sense of cathartic release and a willingness to face the consequences of their actions. The song ends with a haunting declaration of finality and acceptance of their inevitable demise, as they embrace the flames as a means of purifying their soul and finding a twisted sense of closure in their self-inflicted suffering.
Line by Line Meaning
At last I arrived in this place
Finally, I find myself in this dark place
The warmth fills my body
But instead of comfort, all I feel is pain
This feeling will always stay the same
A constant reminder of the agony I face
I will only ever feel pain
No respite from the suffering that consumes me
I feel there's no escaping
I am trapped in this torment, with no way out
The only thing that is left is aching
Only the never-ending ache remains
Sorrows growing deeper inside
My inner turmoil is becoming unbearable
Decaying my mind
Slowly corroding my sanity
No time to wonder why
No time for introspection, only suffering
Rotten memories in need to purify
Tainted memories that need cleansing
The damage is done
Irreparable harm has been done
No one will forgive
No forgiveness can be found
Me
I am alone in my despair
As I look a last time to the sun
Before descending into darkness
Hellfire has begun
Embracing the flames of torment
Sorrow is deep inside
My inner pain is profound
Decayed through my mind
Corrupted thoughts consume me
Cleansed my soul will be
Hoping for purification despite the agony
I will never be free
Feeling imprisoned by my suffering
This is my final stay
Accepting that this is where I belong
I will never lead astray
Unable to escape this cycle of pain
Come to me child and give in
Inviting others to join in the torment
Take my hand
Delving deeper into darkness
Free yourself from sin
Seeking release from guilt and regret
The choices are gone
Left with no options, only despair
I won't deny it
Acknowledging the inevitable fate
Ruined is my life
My existence is marred by suffering
But somehow I'm satisfied
Finding a twisted sense of contentment in pain
Die
Embracing the end of all things
I want to feel hellfire
Yearning for the intense flames of torment
Burn like a funeral pyre
Consumed by the fire of suffering
I feel the need to give in
The urge to succumb to darkness grows
And free myself from sin
Desiring release from the burden of guilt
The flames are growing higher
The torment intensifies
This is my last desire
Accepting that this is the end
This is the end
Knowing that the suffering will never cease
Let me burn in hellfire
Embracing the agony as the ultimate fate
