Sleeprace
Cephalic Carnage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the eve of the apocalypse, were entombed underground, radiation bleaches our skin, albino's we have become. Nuclear crucifixion eradicates, obscures the sun away, toxic gas burns our eyes, asphyxiates my lungs, wounded and screaming, unconsciousness gleaming, suspended animation over comes, six months go by, cataplexy it takes toll.
Awakening from my dismal slumber, I now see well in the dark, bodily dismorphia has crippled me, starving and dehydrated, I claw my way back to life.
Hibernate.
Somehow I did survive, the only man alive, spared from oblivion, extinction of man. A comatose being, living in a haze, fortitude slips away, dreaming to survive, inebriated life, sleep another day.
I now dwell this lonely earth in search for living things, breathing still while the world died, why death passed over me, to repopulate this dying race, rid the planet of hate!




Overall Meaning

The radiation bleaches their skin and turns them into an albino. The nuclear crucifixion caused by the apocalypse obstructs the sun, and toxic gas burns their eyes, causing them to asphyxiate on the poisonous air. The person is wounded and screams until they become unconscious, and they eventually go into suspended animation for six months.


When the person awakes from their slumber, they find themselves crippled and disfigured. The fortitude of the person gradually fades away, and they dream of survival, hoping to sleep another day instead of facing the harsh reality of their new existence. Despite being the only survivor of the apocalypse, the person is resolute to go on and find other living things, in the hopes of repopulating the dying race and ridding the planet of any hatred.


The song "Sleeprace" explores themes of survival in the face of adversity, the resilience of the human spirit, and the pursuit of hope and redemption in a world of darkness and destruction.
