Womb Portals
Dead To Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems like we have nothing left and our ways are set
The sacrifices we endure perfection we pursue
Darkness, nothing pouring through like Harkonen vision
All will fall before us and all will be made to suffer
Born, scream, confusion, pain, insanity
Reborn into this fleshen form
Fear is the mind killer, I'll face my fear
And allow it to pass through me
Cold hands feed us death while war breeds in every breath
It seems like we have nothing left and our ways are set
All will fall before us and all will be made to suffer
A vision of light, a survivor of death
Death, scream, confusion, pain, insanity
Return to the source where it all began
I can't make any sense of it
Not in the way you demand
Fear is the mind killer
I'll face my fear and allow it to pass through me
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion
A vision of light, a survivor of death
From far away not everything is perfect
The lyrics to Dead To Fall's song Womb Portals tackles a multitude of themes, but is centered around the concept of fear and death. The first verse begins by painting a picture of a world riddled with death and war, where the concept of perfection is constantly chased after. The band questions the purpose of such sacrifices and if they are worth it, especially when darkness permeates everything. This is then followed by the chorus, which talks about how all will fall before them and face suffering, including alluding to the act of being born and experiencing pain and confusion.
The second verse carries on this theme, exploring the idea that one must confront their fears in order to succeed. This is best exemplified by the line "fear is the mind killer," a popular quote from the novel Dune by Frank Herbert. The song then ends with the band admitting they cannot fully grasp the meaning of everything around them but know the importance of confronting one's fears and that everything is not perfect from far away.
Line by Line Meaning
Cold hands feed us death while war breeds in every breath
Death is prevalent in our world and it seems like conflict is inevitable
It seems like we have nothing left and our ways are set
We are lost and do not have any idea of what to do
The sacrifices we endure perfection we pursue
We strive for excellence but at the cost of our own well-being
Darkness, nothing pouring through like Harkonen vision
There is a sense of emptiness and despair that engulfs us
All will fall before us and all will be made to suffer
We will be victorious and those who oppose us will pay the price
Born, scream, confusion, pain, insanity
The process of life is chaotic, painful, and stressful
Reborn into this fleshen form
We are given a new life but it is ridden with problems and hardships
Forced through the portal of the womb
We are forced to start anew and face new challenges
Fear is the mind killer, I'll face my fear
Fear is debilitating, but we must confront it to move forward
And allow it to pass through me
We must let go of our fears to overcome them
All will fall before us and all will be made to suffer
We will be victorious and those who oppose us will pay the price
A vision of light, a survivor of death
We will emerge victorious and be a symbol of hope for others
Death, scream, confusion, pain, insanity
Life is riddled with problems, suffering, and confusion
Return to the source where it all began
We shall return to our origin, where everything started
I can't make any sense of it
Life is so confusing that it is impossible to understand it all
Not in the way you demand
Others may impose their expectations on us, but they may not align with our own understanding
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion
We must have the willpower to move forward and make progress
From far away not everything is perfect
Things may seem great from a distance, but up close we see the imperfections
