Parasite
Filth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eradication of light
Suffocated by the weight of your might
No darkness left unexplored
You're in my brain you're in my brain
Feasting on everything
I've kept locked away inside
Locked away inside
You're in my brain you're in my brain
Why won't you die? Parasite
Nesting festering inside
Lathered in my bloodshed
Your shrine of intestines
Why won't you die? Inside
Lathered in my bloodshed
Your shrine of intestines
Just let us die
I watched the host die
Saw its life flash before its eyes
Structured flesh devoured till there's nothing left
We're disturbed of our sleep
One by one we will take you
When I gazed into the abyss It then stared into me
A shroud made of shadows
Bury me unto oblivion
A contortion of tracers
Husk of a human
Invading you
Seathing and putrid
We assimilate
There's something living inside of me
Symbiotic scourge controls your brain
You're in my brain
You're in my brain
Feasting on everything
I've kept locked away inside locked away inside
Left by the wayside
You're in my brain
You're in my brain
Why won't you die? Parasite
The lyrics to Filth's song "Parasite" delve into themes of darkness, invasion, and the struggle to overcome a parasitic presence. The song describes the parasitic entity burrowing deep inside, eradicating light and suffocating the singer with its weight and power. It has penetrated their brain, feasting on everything that has been locked away inside, highlighting the debilitating effect it has on the singer's psyche. The repeated plea for it to die indicates the exhaustion and desperation felt in trying to rid themselves of this unwelcome presence.
The lyrics also depict the parasitic entity as nesting and festering inside, existing in a shrine of intestines and drenched in the singer's bloodshed. The plea for it to die intensifies, emphasizing the harm and suffering caused. The imagery of the host dying and its life flashing before its eyes suggests the destructive nature of the parasite, consuming its host and leaving nothing behind.
The song also explores the idea of a collective struggle, as it mentions being disturbed in sleep and the intention of taking on the parasite one by one. This hints at a larger battle against the invasion of these parasites, highlighting the commonality of the experience.

The craziest part
They sound even more evil live
Dustins vocals cannot be captured in the studio it creates a polish that takes away an element he has live that is unexplainable
I played with them in Allentown, PA and their sound and presence was phenomenal
I’ve never played with a band like this that had their level power and control
Every drop is like a punch in the face and the vocals sound damn near demonic
This band is extremely hardworking and criminally underrated
