Wrath
Daemon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To all sides I′ve seen before
When I was young I wanted so much more
Empty stare at empty scenes everywhere
Angry at life, but I can't get outta here
Lost my life and I′ve lost yours too
No-one to blame, so I take it out on you
Defy my actions then bend you neck
For I am you, and it won't be forever

Your life is mine
Hate mine, so I hate yours too
One mind yet two soul's misery
Years will pass, and I will take the best of you
Your life is mine
Hate mine, so I hate yours too
One mind yet two soul′s misery
Years will pass, and I will take the best of you

You cry but your eyes are dry
You know I can′t stand girls weeping
As I say it sense nothing but my beating hand
Yet you love cause I can make you understand

Your life is mine
Hate mine, so I hate yours too
One mind yet two soul's misery
Years will pass, and I will take the best of you
I take the best of you

Burning conflict my temper rising
Anger eats my mind
Eyes gagging as I am sitting blood
Can′t you see, I am of the evil kind

Your life is mine
Hate mine, so I hate yours too
One mind yet two soul's misery




Years will pass, and I will take the best of you
I′ll take the best of you

Overall Meaning

The song "Wrath" by Daemon is a dark and introspective look into the mind of an individual who is consumed by anger and a desire for control over others. The lyrics indicate a history of disappointment and frustration, with the singer having seen "all sides" before and "wanting so much more" when younger. However, as the song progresses, it becomes apparent that this desire for more has turned into an obsession with power and control over others.


The singer is described as having an "empty stare" and being "angry at life", yet unable to escape from their current circumstances. They have lost their own life, and seem intent on taking the best parts of others as well, expressing a desire to "take it out on you" and "bend your neck". This control is made possible by the fact that the singer and their victim share "one mind yet two soul's misery," implying that the victim is somehow trapped in the same cycle of violence and anger as the singer.


The song's chorus reinforces this theme of control, with the repeated refrain that "Your life is mine". The singer seems to hate themselves and their victim equally, but still seeks to exert power over them. The final lines suggest an escalation in violence, with the singer described as "of the evil kind" and their anger having reached a boiling point. Overall, "Wrath" paints a disturbing portrait of a person consumed by anger and control, trapped in a cycle of violence with no clear way out.
