Hung by Intestines
Cinerary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the black
Slowly lowered
Into the well
Walls covered in
Flesh and blood
Entitys - hung by
Their entrails
Your fingernails
Snap back pus
Secreting from the
Tips of your hands
A light below reveals
Bodys of the deifide
The smell of death still
Fresh in the air
Your hands throbbing a
Sensation a suffering
Associated with body disorder
The naked nerves cause
A mental distress
You seek the
Order of supplication
A secretion fills
The brain - you
Realize trapped in hades
The nether realm
Damned to suffer
Everlasting punishment
Cursed are the entitys
For you have
Been deifide - seeking
New victims you
Crave the taste
Of intestins
Supplicate the bowels
The lyrics of this song depict a gruesome scene of being slowly lowered into a well where the walls are covered in flesh and blood. The entities are hung by their entrails, and as the singer grabs onto the walls, their nails snap back, secreting pus. They see a light below which reveals more bodies, and the smell of death is still fresh in the air. Their hands throb with a sensation associated with body disorder, and naked nerves cause mental distress. The singer seeks the order of supplication, but a secretion fills their brain as they realize they are trapped in Hades.
The lyrics are rich in imagery, and the grotesque descriptions of the flesh and blood walls and hanging entities create a disturbing and unsettling atmosphere. The sensation of bodily disorder and mental distress adds to the horror of the scene, and the realization of being trapped in Hades serves as a reminder of the eternal and irrevocable nature of punishment. The reference to seeking new victims and craving the taste of intestines heightens the sense of violence and perversion.
