sundown
Descend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring right back at you, feels like I'm breathing smog
This one you can't wait out
My pulse increasing steadily, hatred is building up inside
Humanity ceases to exist

Boiling with rage, an anger never felt before
My thoughts are torn to shreds
Red is dripping down my canvas, an art form never seen before
In time everyone will know

I feel adrenaline, the pounding war drum
Channeling darkness, dehumanizing

Reign in chaos, an atmosphere filled with hate
Dare not trespass the forbidden gate

One force so strong upon me
Drawing closer, I cannot escape
I fall into tranquil emptiness
Feeling nothing, seeing nothing

One knife through flesh
The vessel dropped dead
Mutilated, inanimated
Eyes staring into oblivion
Never to see light again

As I float around in space it grows stronger
The urge to get back
Sundown is yet another nightmare to come
The awakening

The cries, the endless cries
Twitching limbs in front of my eyes




Behind bars I stay as I start to decay
In time light will be shed over me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Descend's song Sundown describe a sense of overwhelming anger and a loss of faith in humanity. The first stanza begins with the singer feeling suffocated and full of hatred, unable to escape the darkness that has taken over. The second stanza describes the singer's rage boiling over, resulting in a violent act that alienates them from the rest of society. The third stanza continues to explore the consequences of this act, with the singer feeling a sense of emptiness and detachment from the world around them. The final stanza speaks to the singer's ultimate downfall, as they are confined and left to decay, hoping for redemption but unable to find it.


The emotions expressed in this song are intense and relatable to those who have struggled with feelings of anger or disillusionment. The use of vivid imagery, such as "red dripping down my canvas" and "twitching limbs," creates a dark and disturbing atmosphere that adds to the overall sense of unease felt throughout the song. The final lines, "In time light will be shed over me," offer a small glimmer of hope amidst the chaos and despair.

Clicked the ad to at the very least support the fact that progressive death metal was being advertised to me.  I'll definitely buy this album.
