Doom
Charlton Manny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a man on a mission, you're on the shores of hell
What you gonna do, where you gonna go
Cause no one's got the street plan
That's all you need to know
You can run but you, sure can't hide
Oh no¡it's always ¡®round the bend
Better find all you think you need
Will this nightmare never end
Better find the exit, better find the door
You won't get no mercy, down on the killin' floor
There's a spider on the bridge, there's a demon on the ledge
Better get your chain gun and fill it full of lead
You can run but you, sure can't hide
Oh no¡it's always ¡®round the bend
You're in the house of pain
Better find all you think you need
Will this nightmare never end
Blood on the walls, blood in your eyes
Blood on your face, blood on your hands
You're gonna lose your soul
Solo
You can run but you, sure can't hide
Oh no¡it's always ¡®round the bend
You're in the house of pain
Better find all you think you'll need
Will this nightmare never end
Blood on the walls, blood in your eyes
Blood on your face, blood on your hands
You're gonna lose your soul
You're gonna lose your soul

The lyrics to Charlton Manny's song, "Doom," depict a character who is lost in a nightmarish world and is searching for a way out. The opening lines ask if the character knows where they are and if anyone warned them about the dangerous mission they are on. The character is on the shores of hell and is unsure of what to do or where to go. The lyrics suggest that there is no roadmap or guide for the situation the character finds themselves in, leaving them to navigate the dangerous terrain alone.
As the song progresses, the character is confronted with more challenges such as a spider on a bridge and a demon on a ledge. The lyrics urge the character to arm themselves with a chain gun and fight their way out of the situation. The repeated line "You can run but you, sure can't hide / Oh no¡it's always ¡®round the bend" emphasizes the relentless nature of the nightmare the character is trapped in.
The lyrics also suggest that the character is slowly losing themselves to the horrors of this world. Blood covers the walls, their eyes, their face, and their hands, and the song warns that they are going to lose their soul. Overall, the lyrics to "Doom" paint a vivid picture of a desperate struggle for survival in a nightmarish world.
