Decay
Crafts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love and fear, delight and scorn
Perish but are soon reborn
Inca gold is melted down
And becomes a virgin?s crown

Wasted being, full of decay
Face yourself and lose your way
Wasted being, full of decay
Change yourself, conventions fade away

Sinners brain was broiled to lie
Feeding flowers that charm eyes




Things held holy, things pervers
Serving our universe

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Crafts's song Decay are a thought-provoking reflection on the cyclical nature of life. Love and fear, two emotions that evoke intense and often contrasting feelings, are shown to be fleeting and impermanent, as they "perish but are soon reborn." In the following lines, the imagery shifts to the realm of material objects: Inca gold, a precious metal that symbolizes wealth and power, is melted down and reborn as a virgin's crown, a potent symbol of purity and innocence. This transformation underscores the idea that even tangible items are subject to decay and change, just like human emotions.


The chorus of the song, "Wasted being, full of decay," picks up on this theme and takes it to a more personal level. The "wasted being" may refer to the singer or to humanity as a whole, and the allusion to decay suggests a physical and moral decline. The next line, "Face yourself and lose your way," implies that self-reflection can be disorienting and destabilizing. However, the chorus ends on a hopeful note, encouraging the listener to "change yourself" and reminding us that "conventions fade away." The idea here is that even though decay and change are inevitable, we have the power to shape our own destiny.


Crafts's lyricism in Decay is noteworthy for its complexity and depth. The song invites listeners to contemplate the transitory nature of life and to consider our own role in shaping the world around us. By combining imagery from the natural world with figurative language and metaphors drawn from human experience, the song points toward a broader understanding of existence and the human condition.
