Elizium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I do not know
There's nowhere to hide
There is no place to go, today
The freezing cold
It doesn’t bother me
Hatred warms my heart
Follow the bloodstains
Crimson in the snow
Hatred still remains
And that is all I know
Over the highest Mountains
Through the darkest abyss
I am hunting you
My nemesis
Through the bone dry desert
Across the raging seas
I’ll find you
My nemesis
A brief encounter
I wounded thee
Your bleeding now
You Scream in agony
Circling black birds
A screeching of the crow
They're here for you
And waiti for blood to flow
Down on your knees
Time for your final plea
Your words all in vain
Today is your destiny
The lyrics of "Nemesis" by Elizium tell the story of someone seeking vengeance on their nemesis. The singer doesn't know why they are seeking revenge, but they are driven by their hatred and desire for retribution. The cold weather doesn't bother them; instead, it fuels their anger. They follow the bloodstains left by their nemesis, who they are chasing through deserts, over mountains, and across seas. The singer wounded their nemesis in a brief encounter, and now they are close to catching them. Black birds are circling and waiting for blood to flow. The nemesis is on their knees, begging for mercy, but it is too late. This is their destiny.
The lyrics of "Nemesis" capture the intense emotions of revenge and hatred. The singer is consumed by their desire for retribution, and they will stop at nothing to catch their nemesis. The imagery of the black birds waiting for blood to flow adds to the ominous and foreboding mood of the song. The lyrics seem to suggest that revenge is inevitable and that there is no escape from fate.
