Duskfall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweating palms and cold within.
Delete past calculations, adapt to a brand new breed.
Sudden movements, the smell of caffeine
Won't ever see me turning the other cheek, tooth for a tooth, I want more than you lies.
Won't ever see me walking away, not forgiving, I won't admit that I'm wrong.
Can't rid the disease, a need of release, or a way to end it.
Twitching muscles, an aching head.
Brain hurting, unable to think straight.
A great future would have been, among the lost.
Among deceivers, like himself.
won't ever see me...
Can't rid the disease...
The lyrics to Duskfall's song Source depict a sense of frustration, anger, and the feeling of being trapped in a situation that one cannot escape from. The first verse describes the physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety - an empty stare, a stupid grin, sweating palms, and feeling cold inside. The second line emphasizes the need to erase past calculations and adapt to a brand new breed, indicating a change in one's approach to a situation that has become difficult or stressful. The sudden movements and the smell of caffeine could indicate the character in the song is trying to overcome his physical symptoms through medication, speed or overloading on caffeine.
The chorus emphasizes the character's fierce determination to never let go of his anger and the refusal to forgive those who have wronged him. The lines "tooth for a tooth, I want more than your lies" emphasize this anger and unwillingness to forgive. He also refuses to admit he is wrong.
The second verse continues with the description of physical symptoms that seem to stem from the frustration of being in a situation where the character has no control. The line "a great future would have been, among the lost" suggests that the character feels as if he has lost opportunities in life due to his resentment and anger. The final line "among deceivers, like himself" suggests that he is not innocent in his situation and may have contributed to it himself.
Overall, the lyrics of Source evoke feelings of anger, frustration, and powerlessness. The character seems to be fighting an internal battle against an elusive and persistent disease, or issue, which remains unnamed throughout the song, but which appears to be rooted in or triggered by a deep-seated, unresolved personal issue.

I've all The Duskfall albums purchased from cd stores and i've seen them live once... The singer is Finnish by the way :) He's doing vocals in Deatchain, dawn of relic (at least one album) and Deathbound!
Pho Toman
If your looking for Kai Jaakkola, lead vocalist of the Duskfall, he's in the bands Deathbound and Deathchain. They may not sound like the Duskfall, but they still sound brutal.

this is pretty sweet. I love Gates of Ishtar and I never knew that Mikael Sandorf formed The Duskfall after he left Gates of Ishtar.
