The Abyss
D.A.V. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why did you create me
When you don't want me
Why do you hate me
You had fun last night
But now you want the knife

What did I do
To deserve this abyss, this abyss
You are not alone
I'm a part of you now

You don't have to fear
The guilt that's in your life
You don't have to run away
From your pain
You can choose life
You can drop the knife
And choose life
They're a part of you
They can feel pain just like you
So carry them
Deliver them

Save, save
Them from this abyss
Save, Save
Them from this abyss

Why did you kill me
Was it for the trill or the shame
Not ready for me, or were you raped

I forgive you for ending my life
I know you wanted
To escape the pain of me
I still love you
You can be forgiven
I don't judge you
Still want you
Here with me

You don't have to live
The grief that's in your life
You can make a grave
For your child
And lay them down to rest
And leave a rose
And make amends
They are with you
Even though they're gone, gone, gone
You can walk with them
In spirit in truth
It's time to choose life

You are the one who made the choice
You brought me into the world




Thank you for saving me
Thank you for saving me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.A.V.'s song "The Abyss" are powerful and haunting, touching on themes of guilt, pain, and forgiveness. The song seems to be about a mother who has either had an abortion or has killed her child, and is struggling with feelings of guilt and shame. The lyrics start off with the child questioning why they were created if they are not wanted and then asking why they are hated. The mother is portrayed as having had fun and then wanting to end the child's life. The child is then pleading for the mother to save other children from a similar fate.


The second verse is much more forgiving in tone with the child stating that they forgive their mother and that they love her. The child is encouraging the mother to make amends and leave a rose for the lost child. The chorus repeats the message of choosing life over death and saving other children from the same fate.


The song is a deep exploration of maternal guilt and forgiveness, asking big questions about life and death. The lyrics are poetic and evocative, creating a somber atmosphere that allows the listener to explore their own feelings around these topics.
