Autophagia
Dead Infection Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was left alone in a world with no God to take care. Where no cilivization is
known. Where to survive is the only aim. Twelve weeks with no food or water.
Yet I found a way out. With an enormous eagerness I watch my limbs being
consumed. I see pieces of meat flowing down the ankles. I lose my balance. My
legs are out of control. I masticate my fingers and spit nails out. My bowels
tangle up in my mouth. Insuline streams down my chin. This is the end. My mind
gets no pain impulses any more.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dead Infection's "Autophagia" narrate the story of someone who has been left alone in a world with no sense of guidance from a higher power. In this world, there is no recognizable civilization, and the only objective is to survive. The singer of the song finds themselves in a dire situation, having gone twelve weeks without food or water. Yet, despite this, they have found a way to survive. In a display of extreme desperation, the singer watches as their limbs are consumed for sustenance. They chomp on their own fingers and spit out nails, while their bowels become tangled in their mouth. This is the end for the singer, whose mind is no longer receiving any pain impulses.


The song deals with disturbing themes of self-cannibalism and extreme violence. The lyrics create a vivid and grotesque image of a person driven to do unspeakable things in order to survive. The song is a commentary on the lengths that humans will go to when faced with extreme situations. It showcases the survival instinct that lives deep within all of us, and the terrible things that this instinct can make us do.
