Momentum
Depression Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fear in your eyes is all I see. Your weakness is a sign of defeat. I've been here before. This is nothing new, but my stomach is in knots from thinking of what I'll do. A bead of sweat is dripping from my head. My addrenaline's high, and my fists are clenched. I've thought of this all fucking night. My anger wants me to end your life. My mission is to fucking destroy you, bury you where demons haunt you. I'll take it away. I'll ruin you, and I don't give a fuck what the consequence is. I will destroy, I will destroy, I will destroy you. You think you had your rise, I'm here to deliver your fall. You showed me your hand, now it's my turn to call

The lyrics juxtapose the singer's physical symptoms of aggression, such as adrenaline and clenched fists, with their emotional turmoil, as they express both a need for vengeance and a sense of indifference to the consequences of their actions. The final line of the song suggests that the singer has already made their decision and is going to follow through with it, no matter the cost.
