Eternity Void Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The time i followed you home and killed you in your sleep
Breathing through my pores i stopped your heart
Wept the tears of joy
Forever you apart
Why cannot you die from the inside out
Three fingers inside this broken vow
Sing me away i cant see you now
Bleed and i'll die today
S a dark corner under the stairs
Where i sit with my hands on my head and say prayers
To the god i don't know, who cannot exist
A writhing of hands and a pushing of fists
You sigh and you smile and then grab my hand
Your crinkling eyes tell me you understand
Well live in the dark til the sun beats again
Ill paint you a picture of my life and then
And you choke and you choke
You bleed i die
The lyrics of the song Delusions of Grandeur by Eternity Void depict a disturbed mind and a soul, haunted by past sins and crimes. The wet leaves in the road remind the singer of a time when he followed someone home and killed them while they were sleeping. Breathing through his pores, he stopped his victim's heart and wept tears of joy as he tore them apart. The singer seems to revel in the violence he has inflicted, as he talks about killing someone from the inside out by breaking a vow with three fingers. The ambiguous line "sing me away I can't see you now" might imply that the singer is resigned to his fate and wishes to die too.
The second verse of the song describes the singer's mental state and his prayers to an unknown god who might help him cope with his delusions of grandeur. Sitting in a dark corner under the stairs with his hands on his head, the singer paints a picture of his life to his listener, who seems to be understanding and empathetic. The last line of the song implies that the singer's victim choked and died, whereas the singer bleeds and dies as well, suggesting that he might have committed suicide or died due to his crimes.
Overall, the lyrics of Delusions of Grandeur paint a vivid, disturbing picture of a deranged mind that has lost touch with reality and descends into darkness and death.
