Icarus
Demise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I felt a fierce explosion in my head
As thoughts churned through my damaged mind,
I felt my body become at peace

Time seemed to blaze through a
blackened stretch of undiscovered galaxies
following my demise
Insides are scalding with shock waves
brought on by massive hemorrhaging

Radiated heat surrounds me

Tidal waves of murderous bacteria,
flowing through my cerebral spinal fluid.
I have lost all ability to hear
My mind has slipped away

The real nightmare has begun

Bypassing purgatory
Into the lake of fire.
With soul, escaping body
Death is my true desire.

Contradicted by the only ignorance
that has blinded me to see any forms
of escape from reality
A disease poisoning me

The peoples blood will know me,
My brain become Hiroshima.





Welcomed by death
I have awakened

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Demise's song Icarus are a mixture of confusion, pain and hopelessness all at once. The opening lines describe a fierce explosion within the mind, which brings on a sense of peace throughout the body. The lyrics then progress to a bitter and painful experience of hemorrhaging, followed by the loss of hearing and the melting away of the mind. The images in the song describe a powerful and deadly force taking over the body, causing it to be overcome with heat and waves of bacteria.


As the song progresses, the lyrics begin to contemplate the desire for death, as the body and soul are separated from each other. This feeling of hopelessness is contrasted with an image of escape, as the lyrics describe the disease that is poisoning the individual. The final lines of the song describe a person whose memory will live on after they are gone while also acknowledging the beauty and peace of death.
