Damnation
Carnal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you sing her
The song of love
And bird of doom
Rises its wings to fly away
And the expanse becomes infinity

You will touch her heart and body
That have been dozing on the snowy-white bed
Without aftertaste of sweat
And you will wake her up
And she will open her overslept eyes
You will see its azure
And darkness
And brightness
And flame
And you will be lost





As soon as you sing her
The song of love

Overall Meaning

These lyrics, taken from the song "Damnation" by Carnal, describe the power and consequences of singing a love song to someone. The first few lines introduce the idea that when you sing to this person, a "bird of doom" will rise up and fly away, while the expanse becomes infinite. This can be interpreted in a few different ways, but it seems to suggest that the act of singing this song will have some sort of profound effect or consequence.


The following lines describe what happens to the person you are singing to - they have been "dozing on the snowy-white bed" without any sweat or exertion, but when you sing to them, they wake up. This moment is described in great detail, with the person opening their eyes and revealing their "azure" color. This color is associated with the sky or ocean, and suggests a vast, deep, and potentially overwhelming experience. The last line of the verse, "you will be lost," reinforces this idea of being swept away by the power of the song.


Overall, these lyrics paint a picture of a love song that is not just sweet or romantic, but almost mystical in its power. The act of singing it has consequences beyond just expressing your feelings - it can awaken someone from a deep sleep or even cause a bird of doom to appear. There is a sense of danger and risk involved, but also the possibility of great reward if the song is powerful enough.
