Eradicate Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where I have been buried underneath dead trees that grew their roots through me
"Is this the end of me?
This is the end"
It's real
Dead hands pull me back to this deathbed where I should be
I'm tired of being caught
Entwining my blackened heart
Hanging on iron threads
Сolors left my eyes 'cause I failed this life and this life failed me
Even though I'm dead inside there is something that has died inside me
Dead hands pull me back to this deathbed where I should be
This time it has been dug too deep: this is the end of me
This is where I should be
Inside the dead place where I live
It's like the emptiness in my voice
It's like the questions left in my throat
It's like infected blood in my veins
It's like this lifeless dead tree, which I am
I'll be here till the very end
All I've had in my life is thousands of sleepless nights
I've spent in this hateful shell
I know that someday my noose will be tightened too thin
I'm the casket of my dreams
I can't release what lies inside of me
Сolors left my eyes 'cause I failed this life and this life failed me
Even though I'm dead inside there is something that has died inside me
And I awake in the gloom with understanding
That I returned to my doomed and lifeless state
All I've got is emptiness inside of my colorless eyes
The lyrics of "Haunted" by Eradicate Me are dark and melancholic, capturing the feeling of being trapped by one's own circumstances and emotions. The singer of the song uses vivid imagery to depict their own sense of entrapment, as if they are buried under a bed of dead trees, and "dead hands" pull them back to their own "deathbed". The repetition of these images emphasizes the sense of hopelessness and despair that the singer is feeling.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of failure, both in oneself and in the world around them. The singer describes feeling as though something has died both inside themselves and in the world at large, and they are trapped within a "hateful shell" that they cannot escape. The use of harsh imagery, such as infected blood in their veins, reinforces this feeling of being trapped within their own broken or damaged body.
Finally, the lyrics suggest that the singer has resigned themselves to their fate - they know that they will be here until the very end, and that their own noose will eventually be tightened too thin. Despite this sense of resignation, however, the lyrics also suggest a glimmer of hope, as the singer awakens with a sense of understanding. Perhaps there is still a chance for redemption, even in the face of such overwhelming despair.
