With their latest release "Tarassis", dEMOTIONAL has proven themselves as a solid six-man-army worthy that place. dEMOTIONAL has become notorious for their energetic live shows and their way of combining modern guitar riffs and the two singers vocals. "Tarassis" is recorded, mixed & produced at Studio PH" by Pontus Hjelm (Dead By April), and it is the product of a young metalband that are experimenting with different genres and tempos, though at the same time keeping their distinctive sound that made them so popular. Just like the album "State: In Denial", the new album "Tarassis" went straight in to the national album chart. After spending a big amount of their time in 2014 writing new material and recording the new album, 2015 dEMOTIONAL successfully headed out as main support to Dead By April on "The Stronger Tour all over Europe.

Ashes
Demotional Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I stumble through the answers
In this endless agony
The resentment fans the flames
Like pouring salt into a wound
The silence beckons me
Is this the ending?
Rise from the ashes
Never giving in
Every soul ascends to war
Theres a phoenix in us all
Now theres no surrender (no surrender)
And the anger seems to linger
In this hopeless tragedy
A decision has been made
No more broken promises will speak my name
Through the fire
Rise from the ashes
Never giving in
Every soul ascends to war
Theres a phoenix in us all
Fans the flames
(Fans the flames)
Now as I move on
The question still remains (The question still remains)
Is this the ending?
Through the fire
Rise from the ashes
Never giving in
Every soul ascends to war
Theres a phoenix in us all
Through the fire
Rise from the ashes
Every soul ascends to war
Theres a phoenix in us all
The lyrics of "Ashes" by Demotional explore themes of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The singer is struggling with feelings of loneliness, resentment, and hopelessness, but ultimately decides to rise from the ashes of their pain and continue fighting. The imagery of fire and the phoenix is used throughout the song to symbolize transformation and rebirth.
The first verse describes the singer's struggle to find answers to their problems, and how the resentment they feel only makes their pain worse. The silence that surrounds them is a metaphor for their isolation and the feeling of being alone in their struggle. The second verse shows the singer becoming more determined and refusing to surrender to their despair. They make a decision to move on and leave the broken promises and disappointment behind them.
The chorus repeats the message of rising from the ashes and not giving up, with the line "Every soul ascends to war" suggesting that everyone faces their own battles and must choose to fight or give up. The final stanza leaves the question of whether this is the end unanswered, leaving it up to the listener to interpret whether the phoenix has truly risen or if the struggle continues.
Overall, the lyrics of "Ashes" are a powerful message of perseverance and hope in the midst of difficult times, encouraging listeners to keep fighting and to never give up on themselves.
