Delirium
Colosseum Lyrics

Shadow of myself or was it god
The singer is questioning whether the darkness within them is a reflection of their own self or a reflection of a higher power.

There's voices in the walls all around
The singer is haunted by the cacophony of voices around them, feeling trapped and overwhelmed.

Mocking my weary distress
The voices in the walls are belittling and ridiculing the singer, exacerbating their feelings of sadness and fatigue.

Duplicating memories of nowhere
The artist is experiencing disorienting and confusing flashbacks to moments that seem to have no context or source.

Aching inside convulsive sleep
The artist is not sleeping soundly, but rather tossing and turning in agony as they try to rest.

Foam and worms among broken glass
The singer is describing a surreal and nightmarish landscape, with imagery that is both unsettling and grotesque.

Absence of time, abrasive roar
The singer is feeling a sense of dissociation and detachment from time, and hearing a harrowing and overwhelming noise all around them.

Why do you feed me with needles...
The artist is questioning why they are being subjected to such intense and painful experiences.

Trial shall open now
The artist is approaching a climax in their experience, as if they are being put on trial for something.

The mirrors awaken
The artist is seeing themselves reflected in mirrors around them as they begin to confront their own demons more directly.

Breeding monsters, demons within
As the singer struggles to confront their darkest fears and memories, they are feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of their own emotions.

Judge is me transformed, multiplied
The artist is seeing themselves as both the judge and the defendant, as if they are the only one capable of passing judgment on their own behavior.

There's no place for me to rest anymore
The singer is feeling as if there is no safe space for them to find shelter or solace.

Torn from inside, bleeding in vain
The singer is experiencing intense internal pain, as if they are being ripped apart from the inside out. They feel as if their suffering is going unnoticed and unacknowledged.

There's no place for me to live anymore
The singer is feeling as if they have lost all sense of purpose or meaning in life, and as if they are adrift in a kind of existential wilderness.

Trapped inside the wait for a dawn that's never here
The artist feels as if they are waiting for a new beginning, something that will release them from their current suffering, but this dawn never seems to arrive.

Writhing in terror
The artist is experiencing intense fear, which is causing them to writhe and twist in agony.

They're coming for me
The singer feels as if they are being pursued or attacked, although it's unclear who or what the threat may be.

Demons of my sleep returning through the ages
The singer is encountering vivid, terrifying visions that seem to be drawn from their own memories and dreams.

Calling for anyone, but none will hear
The artist is crying out for help or comfort, but feels as if there is no one around to respond to their distress.

There's nothing more but the pain
The artist is feeling overwhelmed by their own feelings of pain and anguish, and cannot seem to escape these experiences.

This neverending pain
The artist is feeling as if their pain will never come to an end, and that this suffering is something they will have to endure indefinitely.

I bid farewell to everything and cast my last breath
The singer is contemplating suicide as a way of escape from their current suffering, as if they are saying goodbye to everything and everyone.

Final touch of pain remains my dearest and only friend
The artist sees their own pain as something that has become a constant companion, almost like an old friend that will never leave them.
