Warpath
Esben and the Witch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These eyes see carmine through concrete masks
Amid fantasies of strangers, I'm indulging myself.

This fractious fever is fervent
With feelings of extinction.
This violence is silenced by consequence.

Keep these secrets in my skin
?

Bloodshot and blooming, sanguinary and ruby.
A muted dreaming.
A clandestine paradise ? paradise





Keep these secrets in my skin
?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Esben and the Witch's Warpath are abstract and open to interpretation. The words "These eyes see carmine through concrete masks" could refer to someone seeing violence and bloodshed through the facade of society. The line "Amid fantasies of strangers, I'm indulging myself" may suggest the singer is taking refuge in their own thoughts amid the chaos of the outside world.


The phrase "This fractious fever is fervent with feelings of extinction" suggests a feeling of impending doom or destruction, possibly on a societal or global scale. The line "This violence is silenced by consequence" could imply that there are consequences for violent actions, but also that the violence is not truly eliminated, just suppressed.


The repeated sentence "Keep these secrets in my skin" adds a layer of mystery and secrecy to the song. It could indicate that the singer has internal struggles or secrets they keep hidden from the world, or it could be a metaphor for scars and wounds that are hidden beneath the surface.


Overall, Warpath seems to be a song about the internal struggles of an individual amidst societal chaos and violence.


Line by Line Meaning

These eyes see carmine through concrete masks
I see the deep red blood and violence in the world, obscured by societal norms and facades.


Amid fantasies of strangers, I'm indulging myself.
While I am lost in daydreams and illusions of others, I am also selfishly satisfying my own desires.


This fractious fever is fervent
The chaos and turmoil within me is intense and passionate.


With feelings of extinction.
I'm overwhelmed by a sense of being on the brink of disappearance or annihilation.


This violence is silenced by consequence.
The consequences of my violent tendencies force me to suppress them.


Keep these secrets in my skin
I'll keep my innermost thoughts and emotions hidden and buried within myself.


Bloodshot and blooming, sanguinary and ruby.
My eyes are red and swollen from crying, but my wounds are healing and turning a beautiful, bloody red.


A muted dreaming.
I am dreamlike and tranquil, but my emotions and actions are restrained.


A clandestine paradise ? paradise
My hidden and secret place of happiness and peace is also filled with danger and risk.


Keep these secrets in my skin
I will continue to bury my secrets within me, concealing them from the world.
