Descent
H.O.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right here in the flames
I took my life, shut all the doors
To become the blame
You fucked my life by giving it
It's not yours to claim
Self righteous bastard trapped alive
Just to defame
Or have my demons finally taken toll?
Is this descent
The only thing of me you'll ever see?
I wanna know
If I'll ever leave this hell
I wanna know
If my self destructive side will be my end
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna
Know why you left me
Broken, imperfect
Down to rot
I wanna
Know why you can't see
I am fighting the damage
You have brought
Every day just another
Self hatred tirade
Killing me
No chance to break free
The person I can't be
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on

I stood my ground and battled yours
I firmly defended my position and fought against yours
Right here in the flames
In the midst of difficulties and challenges
I took my life, shut all the doors
I made a decision to isolate myself and shut out all possibilities
To become the blame
To willingly take on the responsibility and fault
You fucked my life by giving it
You ruined my life by taking control of it
It's not yours to claim
It doesn't belong to you, it's not yours to possess
Self righteous bastard trapped alive
An arrogant and hypocritical person stuck in their own existence
Just to defame
Only to destroy my reputation and character
Is this the end?
Is this the conclusion or the final outcome?
Or have my demons finally taken toll?
Have my inner struggles and personal demons finally become too overwhelming?
Is this descent
Is this downward spiral or decline?

I wanna know
I want to find out
Know why you left me
Understand the reasons behind your abandonment
Broken, imperfect
In a state of shatteredness and flawfulness
Down to rot
Sinking into decay and deterioration
Know why you can't see
Comprehend why you are unable to perceive
I am fighting the damage
I am actively resisting and battling against the harm
You have brought
That you have caused
Every day just another
Each day is nothing more than
Self-hatred tirade
An onslaught of self-loathing and self-disgust
Killing me
Slowly destroying me
No chance to break free
No opportunity to escape or liberate myself
The person I can't be
The individual I am unable to become
Holding on
Clutching onto hope or resilience
Holding on
Continuing to endure or persist
Holding on
Maintaining a grip on survival or perseverance

Notice how the opening scene says so much about these girls: they're thrill seekers, they work as a team and they're not afraid of danger, great visual storytelling and setup for the rest of the film.
@AstonishingSodApe
Richard Desmond Also, the husband’s infidelity, which is crucial for the ending scene. The way he displays more affection for the Asian woman than his own wife, to whom he just gives a perfunctory kiss.
@richardadesmond
Well said, good point
@AstonishingSodApe
Richard Desmond Fortunately, this is a movie that merits repeated viewings, offering something new with each one.
@richardadesmond
I agree, have you seen his first feature, Dog Soldiers?
@AstonishingSodApe
Richard Desmond No, I haven’t. I hear it’s pretty good.
@misskatie041104
Such a powerful and heartbreaking scene when the girl blows out her candles. And very creepy the way the lights are turning off
@AstroPR12
Why were the lights turning off?
@xviolaa
The blowing out of the candles at the beginning made the original birthday cake ending so much better, I'm so mad it got cut for US audiences
@AstonishingSodApe
@@xviolaa Did you also notice there are six and not five candles at the very last shot of the cake at the end?
