Down To Nothing
Engel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They state their Plee
With a guilty Smile
I just want them to Bleed.
I witness the decline of Humanity.
Salvation running from this World.
Mindless action is all we Breed,
With broken hopes and broken Lives
The end is not near, it's already Here.
thinking only of Number 1,
That's the way we are taught to Be.
Kill the beauty, bring me Death
Dragging us down into Nothing.
With broken hopes and broken Lives
The end is not near, it's already Here.
The opening lines of Engel's song "Down to Nothing" sets a dark tone for the entire song. The lyrics depict a world where people are self-serving and disengaged from the concept of morality. These people make a plea for their own desires, but their guilty smiles denote a lack of concern for the consequences of their actions. From the singer's perspective, the world is in decline, salvation is fleeting, and the root cause is due to the proliferation of thoughtless and destructive behavior.
The lyrics suggest that humanity has become numb and broken, lacking hope and forward momentum. The singer warns that this decline is accelerating and that the end is nigh. The chorus of the song serves as a bleak refrain, repeating that we are being dragged down, down to nothing. The lyrics are a biting critique on modern society, urging listeners to acknowledge the severity of the problem and take steps to address it.
