Void
Divinity Destroyed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I chose the hardest way
Longing to be free
No one else but me
Caging up my soul
Trudging through the mud
It runs in my blood
Climbing from the depths, I hear the
Promises I made, why can't I
Run from the shadows, haunts me
Why
In my nightmares, I saw darkness
In that darkness, I found no one
I was destined to walk that path
A path that has been traveled alone
Spewing from my mind
Lies I could not hide
Tears wept at great length
Hatred, give me strength
Climbing from the depths, I hear the
Promises I made, why can't I
Run from the shadows, haunts me
Why
In my nightmares, I saw darkness
In that darkness, I found no one
I was destined to walk that path
A path that has been traveled alone
Don't even lie, I can see right through you
Tragic truth now as a crystal
It's become as clear as day
The corrosion of my essence
Falling, crumbling, withering within
The lyrics of "Void" by Divinity Destroyed portray a sense of inner conflict and struggle. The opening line, "Roads surround my fate", suggests a feeling of being trapped or constrained by one's circumstances. The singer then proclaims that they have chosen the "hardest way", implying that they have made difficult choices that have led them to where they are now. They express a desire to be free, but acknowledge that they are the only ones who can make that happen.
The next few lines suggest a feeling of being trapped or buried alive, as the singer talks about digging a deeper hole and caging up their soul. They feel as though they are trudging through mud, and that this struggle is innate, running in their blood. The chorus sees the singer questioning themselves and the promises they have made, wondering why they can't escape the shadows that haunt them. They have had nightmares that have shown them darkness, but they have found no one to help them on their path. They are alone and lost.
The second verse builds on this sense of hopelessness, with the singer talking about the lies they have told and the tears they have shed. They turn to hatred to give them strength, which suggests that they may be lashing out in anger because they feel trapped or powerless. The chorus repeats, hammering home the feelings of despair and isolation.
The final lines of the song suggest a sense of decay or erosion, as the singer talks about their essence falling apart from within. They see the truth clearly now, but it is a tragic truth that leaves them feeling empty and hollow. The song ends on a bleak note, with the singer consumed by the void that surrounds them.
