Together As One
Death (Metal) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ridiculed for their shocking appearance
Sharing both please and pain
Two minds, two hearts, one soul
Separating mentally
An illusion of privacy
Together they absorb each others lives
As One they will live and they will die
Displayed as a nightmare
Criticized through words and eyes
As they stare
To the normal it seems grotesque
Connected by a bond of flesh
Two minds, two hearts, one soul
Separating mentally
An illusion of privacy
Together they absorb each others lives
As One they will live and they will die
A living hell has begun
The lyrics of Death (Metal)'s song Together as One describe the relationship between two individuals who are labeled as a creation of evil due to their shocking appearance. They are constantly ridiculed and criticized by the society. However, despite the negativity, they are connected by a deep bond of flesh, sharing both pleasure and pain. They love each other unconditionally and are always together, united as one soul. This bond is so strong that they are able to absorb each other's lives, which in turn causes them to separate mentally. In other words, they are so much in tune with each other that they seem to have an illusion of privacy, but they are never alone. The song concludes with the line, "A living hell has begun," signifying that the society is their living hell.
Overall, the lyrics describe an unconventional and taboo relationship, a topic that death metal is known for. The idea of togetherness or oneness is a theme that has been repeatedly explored in metal music, but this song presents it in a unique way. The lyrics are dark and emotional, and the vocals and the instruments complement the mood perfectly. The song is an ode to all those who are misunderstood by society and face hatred and violence because of their appearance or lifestyle.
