Descend
Engel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome in to my burning world
Try to stand and feel the pain

Can never deny just who I am
Can never design another man
The sulfur is raining on me
I'm bursting in perfect flames
I'm falling, I'm falling down
To far down below where mammon is god
I'm falling, I'm falling down
I lie to myself as my ego descends


Why try to exceed your own design
Why try to be everything in time
I got to find my place
Where sulfur's not raining on me

I'm falling, I'm falling down
To far down below where mammon is god




I'm falling, I'm falling down
I lie to myself as my ego descends

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Engel's song Descend are a portrayal of a person's inner turmoil and the struggle to accept oneself. The song opens with an invitation to the audience to enter the singer's world, which is burning and filled with pain. The singer then accepts that they cannot deny their true self, nor can they design or emulate someone else. The sulfur raining on them is a metaphor for the weight of their struggles, which causes them to burst into flames.


The chorus expresses the singer's feelings of descent, both physical and metaphorical. They feel like they are falling to a place where Mammon, the biblical demon of wealth and greed, is worshipped as a god. This illustrates the artist's feeling of being trapped in a world of materialism and relentless self-criticism.


The second verse highlights the importance of finding one's place and purpose in life. The singer questions the need to exceed one's own abilities or try to be everything at once. The chorus repeats, but this time, the artist recognizes the lies they tell themselves as their ego descends.


In conclusion, the lyrics of Engel's song Descend are about the struggle to accept oneself and find one's place. The artist uses vivid imagery to create a world of pain, inner turmoil, and self-depreciation. Despite the dark tone of the song, there is a glimmer of hope that lies in accepting oneself and learning to find one's place in the world.
