Amygdala
Deprive Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am your pain and misery
Your heart and soul, your dignity
Controlling your emotions
Acceptance is your master key

I am defying all your will
Your deepest nightmares I fulfill
I´ll have complete devotion
As you are heading for the kill

You are my creation, lost and alone

As you are falling further down
I´m by your side
Tormented through hell and back yet
You still abide

I´ve come to adore you

You´ll have my full attention
The day you´ve overcome your hate
Damnation´s your ascension
As I am opening the gate

I´m sent here to destroy you
Let me hear your final word
Unless you´re begging for forgiveness
I will let it go unheard

You are my creation, lost and alone

As you are falling further down
I´m by your side
Tormented through hell and back yet
You still abide

You have that fire in your heart
Just like a mindful work of art
An urge to stay alive
To make a brand new start

I am your pain and misery
Your heart and soul, your dignity
Controlling your emotions
Acceptance is your master key

I am defying all your will
Your darkest nightmares I fulfill
I´ll have complete devotion
As you are heading for the kill

As you are heading for the kill





As you are heading for the kill

Overall Meaning

The song "Amygdala" by Deprive delves into themes of pain, misery, and control. The lyrics of the song indicate a personification of these negative feelings and emotions as the "I" in the song. This "I" is described as being in complete control of the singer, controlling their emotions and actions. The chorus of the song reiterates this control, with the lyrics "I am your pain and misery, your heart and soul, your dignity, controlling your emotions, acceptance is your master key." The lines "I am defying all your will, your deepest nightmares I fulfill" suggest that the singer is helpless against this force and is forced to succumb to their own fears and anxieties.


The song also explores the relationship between the singer and the "I", with the latter seemingly adoring the former. This adoration is expressed through the lyrics "I've come to adore you, you'll have my full attention" and "you have that fire in your heart, just like a mindful work of art." However, this love is not unconditional, with the "I" also being sent to "destroy" the singer. The song ends on a rather ominous note, with the singer "heading for the kill."


Overall, "Amygdala" is a powerful and intense song that delves into themes of control, fear, and adoration.
