Swallowing the Sun
Distorted Memory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the horizon serpent dwells
Wrapping circles he sleeps in hell
On mountain tops the goat son feeds
Devouring anguish he never sleeps

Below the surface a darkness creeps
A thousand insects to feed the greed
Inside our minds within our hearts
Lies the force to heal these scars





Black tyrants
Swallowing the sun

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Distorted Memory's "Swallowing the Sun" describe a mythical figure commonly known as a serpent or a dragon. This creature is said to be dwelling on the horizon, which suggests that it is waiting to pounce on something or someone. The serpent is also coiled up in circles, which adds to the sense of a predator preparing to strike. The next line, "Wrapping circles he sleeps in hell," adds to the sense of malevolence and creepiness. The serpent is not only a creature of the physical world but is also associated with the underworld. This adds to the sense that the serpent is a powerful and malevolent force.


The next lines shift focus to a different creature, the goat son. This figure is also associated with darkness and evil, as indicated by the phrase "Devouring anguish he never sleeps." This line suggests that the goat son is always active, and always feeding on negative emotions. The line "On mountain tops the goat son feeds" adds to this sense of the goat son's power and reach. The imagery of mountains suggests that the goat son has an elevated and imposing position.


The final lines of the chorus, "Black tyrants swallowing the sun," add to the ominous tone of the song. It suggests that there are powerful and malevolent forces at work, and that they are consuming or destroying the source of light and warmth in the world. Overall, the lyrics of "Swallowing the Sun" suggest a world dominated by darkness, evil, and malevolence.
