Desolate
Blodulv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under the rigors of winter
Violent shadows killed these lands
Fierce beasts of north raped this child
Charred, desolate
Burning soil, demons soar
Crushed, desolate
Forever, desolate
Laid to waste
Inherit coldness of the soul
By rulers brought to conquer
Forcing the god hand
The dark Satan vanguard
Call this breed a murderous cancer
In the wretched realm of cruelty
Barbed wire minds in state of decay
Until tepid Christ blood stains his lips again
Draining away
The razor void infernal
Burnt to black
The desolate scape eternal
The lyrics to Blodulv's song "Desolate" paint a bleak picture of a land ravaged and destroyed by the harsh winter and the violent beasts of the north. The opening lines speak of a "sore cold forest slavery" which suggests a forced labor under the harsh conditions of the forest in winter. The following line is more metaphorical, describing the shadows as violent killers of the land. The word "fierce" in the following line suggests that the beasts of the north were not only deadly but also aggressive and predatory, taking what they wanted by force.
The chorus then repeats the word "desolate" three times, implying a sense of hopelessness and despair that permeates the entire song. The verses continue to highlight the cruel and destructive nature of the humans who came to conquer this land, taking on the role of a "murderous cancer" that spread throughout the realm of cruelty. The lyric "barbed wire minds in state of decay" suggests that the violence and destruction have become a part of the mindset of the people who inhabit this land, and even the Christ's blood is not enough to cleanse their lips of the stain of their actions.
Overall, "Desolate" speaks to the destructive power of nature and humans, and the damage that can be wrought when they come together in a place of conflict and conquest.
