Abandoned
Demise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To see the truth is to see the lies
False hope from the blasphemous one
Who invades of minds
Who invades of minds.

The original sin that has plagued us all
Throughout time
We know this well
We paid the price for your sin
Oh holy one you say
That yours is the only way
But hell on earth has it been today

Sorrow and pain throughout the years
My conviction of justice is my reward
For you abandoned me
When I failed

I have risen above it all
To take my place upon the wall
Beside the ones
Before me, I will not fail

To seek the truth of truths
And I will not fail




To gain riches and fame, I do not care
Tell everyone, everyone...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Demise's song "Abandoned" describe a sense of disillusionment and rejection towards societal norms and conventions. The first few lines refer to the difficulty in discerning the truth from lies, and how the false hope presented by those who seek to manipulate and control our thoughts is essentially blasphemy.


The lyrics then delve into the concept of the "original sin," a Christian belief that all humans are born with a natural inclination towards sin and wrongdoing. The singer suggests that this notion has plagued us throughout time, yet it has been enforced by religious figures who claim that their way is the only way. However, this has led to a "hell on earth" where there is nothing but sorrow, pain, and suffering.


The singer then speaks of their own experience of being abandoned and left to suffer when they fail to conform to societal expectations. They have risen above it all and found their place on the wall, standing alongside others who have faced similar rejection. They are driven to seek the ultimate truth, no matter the cost or sacrifice. The song ends with the singer declaring that they do not care for riches or fame, but want everyone to know of their journey.


Overall, the lyrics to "Abandoned" convey a sense of disillusionment and frustration towards societal norms that are enforced by religious figures. The singer seeks to find their own path and seek the ultimate truth, even if it means facing rejection and hardship.
