The Flood
Dozer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Die, yeah you will have to burn
Cry, and you will not be heard
And I will watch you hang below the sky...
Why, I am the burning flame
Lie, no I won't ease your pain
And I won't leave until I've burned the ground...

Before I have to go I'll tell the tide to flood you all
Before I take control I'll be reminded by you all
I'm the untold...

Die, no you will have to learn
Cry, no I won't go unheard
And I will watch you from a higher ground...
Why, you've reached the boiling point




Lie, no I won't ease the strain
And I won't leave until you all have drowned...

Overall Meaning

The song "The Flood" by Dozer is a powerful and intense track with lyrics that speak of a vengeful force seeking revenge on those who have caused pain and suffering. The song begins with the lines "Die, yeah you will have to burn, cry, and you will not be heard, and I will watch you hang below the sky". These lines seem to portray the feeling of brutal punishment and the idea that the wrongdoer is not worthy of any mercy. The next set of lines "Why, I am the burning flame, lie, no I won't ease your pain, and I won't leave until I've burned the ground" seem to further reinforce this theme of vengeance and retribution.


The entire song has an overall feeling of being pushed to the brink and then reacting with a level of violence that is beyond normal. The mood is very dark and aggressive, with a certain edge of defiance running throughout. The chorus, "Before I have to go I'll tell the tide to flood you all, Before I take control I'll be reminded by you all, I'm the untold" seems to convey the feeling of being the unseen vigilante, who is determined to take down those who have wronged them. The final verses of the song "Why, you've reached the boiling point, lie, no I won't ease the strain, and I won't leave until you all have drowned" once again reinforce this idea of punishing those who have caused pain and suffering.
