Concealed
Circle Of Contempt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Paralyzed cadavers drowning in quicksand
They will sink forever clutching their secrets
With all the leaders, all the inside jobs

(Hold your tongue) By trial and error
(Hold your tongue) our masters are still holding their tongues

Pay no attention to the consequence of ages, the dreaded years of wrath
Perfect covenants perfect propaganda lay on, on the hands of the self-deceived





They will sink forever, find your captive strength and fight
They will sink forever, find shelter underneath the arms of this circle

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Circle Of Contempt's song "Concealed" paint a grim picture of individuals becoming paralyzed and eventually drowning in quicksand, unable to do anything other than hold on to their secrets. The song alludes to the corruption found in those in positions of power, and how they will do anything to keep their secrets safe. The line "with all the leaders, all the inside jobs" implies that even those we see as leaders are not to be completely trusted.


The next two lines, "By trial and error, our masters are still holding their tongues" suggest that even if we, as a society, learn from past mistakes and try to hold those in power accountable, they will continue to hide their secrets and deceive us. The lyrics then urge the listener to ignore the consequences of inaction and fight against the corrupt powers that be: "find your captive strength and fight... find shelter underneath the arms of this circle."


Overall, "Concealed" is a warning against blindly trusting those in power, and a call to action for people to stand up for what they believe in, even in the face of danger and oppression.

Helpless bodies stuck in an inescapable situation


They will sink forever clutching their secrets
They'll never recover and their hidden truths will be lost


With all the leaders, all the inside jobs
Even those in power, involved in deceitful schemes

Don't speak out prematurely, learn from mistakes

They won't recover, but seek refuge in the protection of this group

I love the ending. It's so freaking awesome sounding.

Thanks for taking time to breakdown what the term breakdown really meant. I'm an older metal-head and really haven't kept up to date with all of the terms used in describing certain aspects of of a song. I kinda work off of a gut feeling I get while listening to music and my gut tells me that I like when songs have a breakdown on occasion. Thanks for the info!

This is what breakdown means! Definition: Used in various genres of heavy metal, especially in metalcore, a breakdown consists of slowing a song down to give the guitars room to play a set of rhythmically oriented riffs. The drummer accents the riffs with the double kick bass drum. Vocalists many time use a single, repeated statement throughout the breakdown. There you go!!
