Doombox
Dead To Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the brutal stench alone
It's in our nature to desire
And hunt it down
It's powers are infernal, to say the least
Another gate to hell leading into the belly of the beast
Doombox
Your first time inside
You'll feel right at home
Take hold and it has you
Almost swallowing you whole
DOOMBOX
I dare you to test me again
Destroyer - of what makes a man a man
Manipulator - take all that you can
The only weapon that can threaten the lifespear
CASTRATION!
Now I found a flamethrower
Your skin is all torched off
And you're in you're purest form
A state of wonderful impotence
Destroyer - of what makes a man a man
Manipulator - take all that you can
DOOMBOX
The song "Doombox" by Dead To Fall is a heavy metal song that speaks about the dangerous and destructive powers of addiction. The song starts with the lines "By instinct you'll be drawn in, to the brutal stench alone, it's in our nature to desire, and hunt it down". These lines speak about how human beings are naturally attracted to things that may cause them harm, such as addiction. The "brutal stench" represents the negative aspects of addiction, but despite this, people still crave it. The "powers" of addiction are "infernal" or hellish, indicating that addiction can be all-consuming and can destroy lives.
The chorus of the song repeats the words "Doombox, I dare you to test me again". This could be interpreted as the persona challenging the addiction to try and take hold of them again. The song then goes on to describe addiction as a "destroyer of what makes a man a man" and a "manipulator". Addiction can affect a person's ability to make rational decisions and control their actions. The final lines of the song describe addiction as "castration" and the persona finding a "flamethrower" to destroy it. The song ends with the line "DOOMBOX", indicating that addiction is a constant threat that requires vigilance to overcome.
