Torture
Crypsis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ad I got struck by lightning in the thunder
Wilder than the things from the tundra (pick em up!)
Help me up, someone's pulling me under
A scorcher, a flame on the brain, this is torture

Flame on the brain… Hauled-off, sawed off, shotgun blast

Flame on the brain…

With synonyms, I get an adrenaline rush, from minimum thrusts When I cut your neck, leave a little piece of skin so the head won't fall off
Hauled-off, sawed off, shotgun blast

Blast

Hauled-off, sawed off, shotgun blast

I got struck by lightning in the thunder
Wilder than the things from the tundra (pick em up!)




Help me up, someone's pulling me under
A scorcher, a flame on the brain, this is torture

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Crypsis's song "Torture" are dark, intense, and metaphorical. The opening lines describe a powerful and jarring experience of being struck by lightning in the midst of thunder, suggesting that the singer is experiencing a sudden and violent upheaval in their life. The line "wilder than the things from the tundra" adds to this sense of chaos and danger, drawing a comparison between the storm and the untamed wilderness. The mention of someone pulling the singer under adds to the feeling of being overwhelmed and out of control.


The next few lines introduce the key metaphor of the song: "a flame on the brain, this is torture." The repeated line "flame on the brain" suggests that the singer is experiencing intense pain or torment, possibly in the form of a mental or emotional struggle. The connection between fire and torture is a common one, and the word "scorcher" emphasizes the idea of burning agony. This is further reinforced by the violent language in the following lines, which describe cutting off someone's head and using a shotgun.


Overall, "Torture" is a song that explores themes of violence, pain, and emotional turmoil. The lyrics use vivid metaphors to convey the intensity of these experiences, and the gritty tone and aggressive language add to the overall sense of discomfort and unease.
