Amenity
Delain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

God of Amenity?
More like rules the world
But tonight she may fall
Demon of insanity
Will her strength last until
The end of days
The end of days?
I shed wine
Staring evolution
The stupids ignorant
They must be choked by wine
You must be a loving god
Who taste it out of time
Should I drown in all your sense
A world of mental demise?

While she falls on her knees
The angel flies
But the people don't scatter
They reunite
After periods of firing
Insanity, the fires stop

Then therefore you will rule, monarch
Feel the strenght enter your soul, Maniken melt




Stop the Demon and start
Serving the Great One with end on a proof.

Overall Meaning

The song Amenity by Delain is a powerful, emotional track that delves deep into themes of godhood, insanity and the end of days. The lyrics reflect on the power dynamic between God and man, and the potential for both great strength and immense weakness. The opening lines "God of Amenity? More like rules the world" sets the stage for the song's exploration of divine power, while the subsequent line "But tonight she may fall" suggests that even the most powerful beings can experience moments of vulnerability and weakness.


The chorus reinforces this theme of fragility and uncertainty. The mention of the "Demon of insanity" hints at the darker, more destructive aspects of human nature, while the line "Will her strength last until the end of days?" raises the possibility that even the strongest among us may not be able to withstand the pressures of life indefinitely.


The second verse adds to this sense of uncertainty and instability, with the line "Staring evolution" suggesting that change and transformation are always looming on the horizon. The mention of "The stupids ignorant / They must be choked by wine" hints at a certain disdain or frustration with those who refuse to acknowledge the complexities of life. The final lines of the verse, "A world of mental demise?" suggest that the weight of these complexities can be overwhelming, and that madness or despair may be inevitable.


Overall, the lyrics of Amenity are both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, exploring themes of power, fragility, and the human condition with depth and nuance.
