Descend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.

Staring right back at you, feels like I'm breathing smog
The situation at hand is overwhelming and makes me feel suffocated
This one you can't wait out
The problem cannot be resolved by time alone
My pulse increasing steadily, hatred is building up inside
I am getting angrier with each passing moment and it's not a good feeling
Humanity ceases to exist
I have reached a point where I no longer believe in the goodness of humanity
Boiling with rage, an anger never felt before
I am consumed with rage that is unprecedented
My thoughts are torn to shreds
My mind is in a state of chaos
Red is dripping down my canvas, an art form never seen before
I am expressing my anger in a unique and destructive way
In time everyone will know
My actions will have consequences that will eventually become known
I feel adrenaline, the pounding war drum
I am consumed with a sense of urgency and heightened energy
Channeling darkness, dehumanizing
I am tapping into a dark side of myself, losing touch with my humanity
Reign in chaos, an atmosphere filled with hate
Everything around me is chaotic and filled with negativity
Dare not trespass the forbidden gate
There are serious consequences for crossing certain boundaries
One force so strong upon me
I am being controlled by a powerful force
Drawing closer, I cannot escape
The force is getting stronger and I am unable to resist
I fall into tranquil emptiness
I become numb and detached from reality
Feeling nothing, seeing nothing
I am completely disconnected from my emotions and surroundings
One knife through flesh
I have harmed someone physically
The vessel dropped dead
The person I harmed has died
Mutilated, inanimated
The body is disfigured and lifeless
Eyes staring into oblivion
The person's lifeless eyes are now looking into nothingness
Never to see light again
The person is dead and will never see the beauty of the world again
As I float around in space it grows stronger
As time passes, my urge to make things right becomes more intense
The urge to get back
I feel a need to make amends for my actions
Sundown is yet another nightmare to come
The future holds more pain and suffering
The awakening
The realization that my actions have serious consequences
The cries, the endless cries
The screams of the person I killed haunt me endlessly
Twitching limbs in front of my eyes
I see the person's body reacting to the harm I caused even after death
Behind bars I stay as I start to decay
I am imprisoned and slowly losing myself
In time light will be shed over me
Eventually, my actions and their consequences will come to light

Very nice with clear influences from Opeth, and with some inspiration from Bathory I suppose. Great cover art too. Grattis! :)
