Defiance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't decide which way to go
Feel the chill take control
As the avalanche starts to flow
See your life before your eyes
No one there to hear your cries
Feel the ground start to shake
As you lose all your fate
Try to scream
Convince yourself it is just a dream
Blood flows slow
I tell you that there is no death more slow
Hypothermia in your brain
As you panic you go insane
Blood's pumping very slow
'Cause you fight, the deeper you go
Life you know starts to slip
As you lose reality's grip
Take a breath and make it last
As your dreaming of your past
Try to scream
Convince yourself it is just a dream
Blood flows slow
I tell you that there is no death more slow
Try to move, have no power
It's getting colder by the hour
Wishing you were in your bed
There's no feeling in your head
Death you meet face to face
Hypothermia takes it's place
Better kiss your life goodbye
Tears are freezing as you cry
Try to scream
Convince yourself it is just a dream
Blood flows slow
I tell you that there is no death more slow
Froze to death
For all to see
Souls now trapped
Never to be free
Walking lost in the snow
Can't decide which way to go
Feel the chill take control
As the avalanche starts to flow
See your life before your eyes
No one there to hear your cries
Feel the ground start to shake
As you lose all your fate
Try to scream
Convince yourself it is just a dream
Blood flows slow
I tell you that there is no death more slow
Tell you that there is no death more slow...
The lyrics of Defiance's song Hypothermia tell the story of a person walking lost in the snow, unable to decide which way to go. As they struggle with the cold and the uncertainty of their situation, an avalanche suddenly begins to flow, and they are faced with the possibility of death. The lyrics vividly describe the physical and mental effects of hypothermia, as the person's blood begins to pump slower and they begin to lose their grip on reality. Despite their efforts to scream or move, they are powerless to escape the cold and their fate. As they face death, they are overwhelmed with emotion, tears freezing on their face.
The lyrics of Hypothermia provide a chilling and visceral portrayal of the experience of freezing to death. They highlight the sense of powerlessness and terror that can accompany such a situation, while also emphasizing the importance of perseverance and the will to survive. The repeated refrain of "Try to scream, convince yourself it is just a dream, blood flows slow, I tell you that there is no death more slow" adds to the haunting and eerie quality of the song.
