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.

Demotional Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One in a million. Born a winner, nothing bothered me
But I took it too far
My life's a loaded gun, nothing at all was real
I was the chosen one, I lived a highlight reel
I always had my mouth full, was fed with silver spoon
I walked a golden road and never knew it lead straight to my doom
But I was standing in the middle of the eye of a typhoon
I never thought that I could lose it all though I should
Figure out that I lived on borrowed time
I was bound to crash and burn
When I was ruling a world that wasn't mine
Euphoria, was speeding in my own lane
Just to watch it go down the drain
Never thought I'd grow older, now it's all over
I never thought that I could lose it all though I should
Figure out that I lived on borrowed time
I was bound to crash and burn
When I was ruling a world that wasn't mine
It's my own fault and no one else
I've lost it all and blame myself
Blame myself
I never thought that I could lose it all though I should
Figure out that I lived on borrowed time
I was bound to crash and burn
When I was ruling a world that wasn't mine
When I was ruling a world that wasn't mine
In these lyrics, the songwriter reflects on a past time when they felt invincible and had everything they could ever want. They were born into privilege and success, feeling like they were destined for greatness. They lived a life where nothing bothered them, feeling like they were the chosen one with a highlight reel existence. However, they admit that they took their good fortune too far and became disconnected from reality. Their life became like a loaded gun, where nothing felt real anymore.
The singer acknowledges that they always had an easy, comfortable life, never realizing that this path would eventually lead them to their downfall. They believed they were in control and immune to any negative consequences, but in truth they were unknowingly in the middle of a destructive storm. This metaphorical typhoon represents the chaos and destruction that inevitably awaited them, despite their belief in their invincibility.
As the realization of their impending downfall becomes clear, the singer admits their ignorance and naivety. They never thought they could lose everything, even though deep down they should have known that their success and happiness were only temporary. They were bound to crash and burn because they were living in a world that wasn't truly theirs. The euphoria they once experienced was only temporary, and now it has all come crashing down. They lament the fact that they never thought they would grow older and now it feels like it's all over.
Towards the end of the lyrics, the singer takes responsibility for their own downfall, acknowledging that they have no one else to blame but themselves. They have lost everything and understand that it is their own fault. Despite the pain and regret, they realize that they need to take ownership of their actions and the consequences that followed.
In conclusion, these lyrics explore the rise and fall of someone who had it all, but let their success and privilege blind them from the reality of their situation. They believed they were invincible and in control, only to eventually realize that their world was built on borrowed time. They lost everything and are left with the bitter realization that they were ruling a world that wasn't truly theirs.
