mountain
Disfiguring the Goddess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forsworn and forgotten, a totem of power rises from the earth.
A supernatural light staggers out from behind the shadow of what once was alive and breathing.
A figure, made up of teeth, is brought back to life on top of the totem.
His mouth opens showing nothing but blackness and sorrow.
The eyes of the summoners widen with terror, as their request has not been granted.
Regret.
The forsworn lifts his finger, pointing to the mountain.




Overall Meaning

The above lyrics are from the song "Mountain" by "Disfiguring the Goddess". The song has mysterious and eerie vibes, the lyrics are open to interpretation. Forsworn and forgotten give a feeling of abandonment and neglect, and the totem of power rising from the earth seems to be a symbol of powerful force. The supernatural light represents supernatural, and the shadow of what once was alive and breathing indicates death or something that's no longer alive.


As the figure made up of teeth is brought back to life on top of the totem, it emerges as a being capable of bringing fear into the summoner's hearts. The blackness and sorrow shown by the opened mouth of the figure show that it's not for any ordinary task but for something dangerous and dark. The summoners had a request that was not granted, and their fear and regret are highlighted. Finally, the forsworn point towards the mountain, indicating something grave is about to happen there.


Overall, the song is about an event where a powerful, supernatural figure is brought back from the dead to complete a dangerous task that the summoners fear they will regret. The figure is brought alive to perform a job, the success of which is dubious, and the foreboding demeanor indicates something ominous is going to take place.

I feel a little like his grandma right now after having watched this.. I love dubstep and I am just in literal AWE after watching this. It's like a long...ongoing, monologue that is completely diverse and jam packed with comedic passion. I just love it and he makes me laugh immensely. But I am, by most's estimation, way too old for this stuff... but I just love it.

At first I wasn't really hyped when Cam took over on guitars for DTG, but I've really started to get into it, this song rules.
