Damnation
Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Damnation, of your past
Stigmatized of gone activities
Society don't forgive your faults in younger years
You hate the state
Political activities aren't important for you
But everyone asks you for your public opinion
Damnation
Are you right answer
You don't fit in their political scheme
Damnation
The public domain is not your territory
Something goes wrong in the social-gathering
You aren't the only one who made rags
Damnation
But people call you nauseous
Aren't they disgusting themselves




Aren't they damned by their past
Aren't alone as you are alone

Overall Meaning

The song "Damnation" by Blood reflects on the societal nature of judging people based on their past actions and notions of political correctness. The lyrics speak to the stigmatization of individuals based on their previous activities, which society refuses to forgive, even if they were committed in their younger years. The feeling of being damned is all-encompassing and creates a sense of isolation that is expressed in the lyrics through lines such as, "You don't fit in their political scheme" and "The public domain is not your territory." These suggest that the individual in question is forced to live outside the norms and expectations of their surrounding community. The lyrics are a critical commentary on the double standards of society, where people are often judged and treated unfairly.


The song highlights the issue of being condemned by others because of one's past actions, and how it can result in segregation and isolation from society. Although individuals may have changed for the better, society refuses to accept them as they are. The song questions the authenticity of people's thoughts and feelings towards others and asks whether they are being hypocritical in their judgments. The song also reflects on the idea that even those who are judging others may also be stained by their own past actions.
