Hell
Filth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in hell, I'm in hell
A man at war with himself
But the deeper I dig (Deeper I dig) makes me despise what's hidden within
I've searched for the reasons it has to be this way
Second hand emotions always get in the way
Just let me disappear
If you're looking for a hero, he's not fucking here
If you're looking for someone to save, just let me disappear
And I wanna make it clear
I don't want to be here
You will never define your meaning of Perfection
I'm so sick of this cookie cutter bullshit
I'll bring your world to its knees
I see the fault in creation
We hinder our progression
Undeserving to be aware that we are all mistakes




We are all mistakes
We are all mistakes

Overall Meaning

The song "Hell" by Filth is a powerful expression of personal struggle and frustration with the imperfections found within oneself and the world around them. The opening lyrics of "I'm in hell" set the tone for the song and express a sense of despair that is amplified by the repeated refrain of "I don't want to be here." The singer feels like a man at war with himself, struggling to reconcile the darker aspects of his personality with his desire to be a better person.


The line "But the deeper I dig, makes me despise what's hidden within" speaks to the idea that sometimes, the more we learn about ourselves, the more flaws and inconsistencies we discover. This is further emphasized by the line "I've searched for the reasons it has to be this way", indicating that the singer is actively trying to understand why they are the way they are but is struggling to find satisfying answers.


The second half of the song takes on a more confrontational tone as the singer addresses society as a whole, criticizing the focus on perfection and the "cookie cutter bullshit" that pervades our culture. They declare that "We hinder our progression" and that we are "Undeserving to be aware that we are all mistakes." It's a blunt and unnerving statement, suggesting a fundamental discomfort with humanity's place in the universe.


Overall, "Hell" is a song that grapples with some very heavy themes, including mental health, self-loathing, and existential despair. By turns introspective and confrontational, it's a track that cuts to the bone and leaves a lasting impression on anyone who listens to it.

the whole world should take an example from our metal community. It doesn't matter what color we have, the religion, the life we ​​live and what we have behind us. THIS CONNECTS US ALL! THIS IS BROTHERHOOD ! Lot of respect from Czech Republic. My new top band!

@kattheshredder6

Agreed but I don’t know if the metal community is a good example of “acceptance. A lot of us are pretty pretentious and don’t like people who don’t align with the same view points
