Eldritch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wrote our ones on a rock face
Now that you're gone words they stabd
I'm climbing again chisel in hand
Pain carves a ditch of foundation
How many tower must crash...
... down until the ditch is deep enough
to hold up my tower, this desperate hour
the toil and the pain
the anger I stand to... must end!
CHORUS
Cutting off the wires is cutting my veins
I'll put out the fire with blood like rain
Wringing out my heart rather living in pain
Back from the start doing it all again...
How could you do that? We were as one,
just like a mother and son
Bonded by one cord you forced me to bite
Bonded by blood you deny
I can but love you, thanks for conception
Even if living is pain
But your love soon died in separation,
It's never to rise again...
CHORUS
Birth is pain, life is pain, life is death
Mother you killed me, may forget
May you be fulfilled, slow dowm the run
May we end less worse we can, death at once!
In Eldritch's song "Ultimate Solution," the lyrics tell a story of pain, love, and desperation. The first verse describes the singer's loss and their attempt to climb the metaphorical tower of their life. They use a chisel to carve their name and their lover's name into rock, symbolizing a permanent bond between them. However, when their lover leaves, the words on the rock become painful reminders of what they've lost, and they feel the need to rebuild their tower from the bottom up. The singer's pain is likened to a carving tool, "pain carved my soul with a slash," and they hope that after all the towers have fallen, they can create a strong foundation for their new life.
The chorus reflects the singer's desperation and desire to escape their pain. They liken cutting off the wires to cutting their veins, symbolizing a release of their lifeblood. The singer wants to put out the fire of their pain with their own blood, showing how greatly they wish to escape their suffering. They would rather start again and go back to the beginning than continue living in pain.
Overall, "Ultimate Solution" is a song of intense pain and the desire to escape it. The metaphors of towers, carving, and blood all express the pain the singer is feeling, and the chorus shows just how far they are willing to go to end their suffering.
