Lies
Dead World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Penetrate the walls of disorder, desire I can't deny.
Pinned down by enemy cross fire, kiss your life good-bye.
Prison with walls my darling, beneath the blood red sky.
Lies...
See your sister tied down, my chaos kills her cries.
Tell me who your god is, spread legs nice and wide.
Eruptive waves of violence crush your worthless lives.
Lies...
Surgical arena, twisted pit of desire.
Feel my ultra violence lover, as you slowly die.
Car crash victim struggles, cut off at the thighs.
Ebony blood and distorted visage echo in my mind.
Lies...
The lyrics to Dead World's song "Lies" depict a disturbing and violent scene, exploring the dark side of human desire and suffering. The singer describes standing with a sadist, suggesting a complicity in the violence that is to come. The imagery of penetrating walls of disorder and being pinned down by enemy crossfire creates a sense of chaos and danger. The motif of lies is repeated throughout the song, perhaps indicating a lack of honesty and transparency in the actions of the characters.
The lyrics become even more gruesome as the singer describes seeing someone's sister tied down and killed, and demanding that the listener reveal who their god is. The singer sees their own violent urges as symptoms of sickness, and the victims as worthless. The surgical arena and twisted pit of desire conjure up images of brutality and perversion, while the car crash victim struggling and the distorted visage suggest physical and emotional pain. Overall, the lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world consumed by violence and lies.
