Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
your plea will be denied
I can smell all those entrails
they call me to start the feast
Nightmares will be raping your souls
welcome where human warmth is ice
Nightmares feeding from your fears
I'm the envoy to cure your fantasies
I'm the envoy to redeem all your sins
I'm the savior of your lewdnesses
I'm your savior, don't you wanna understand?
You contort under my feet
your blood has splashed my eyes
you still scream, I want you to resist
but you only want to rest in peace
I enjoy your screams, I kill and my hate exists
I can rape your dreams, I kill and my soul exists
You're there where angels don't sing
you lie where compassion's a myth
nightmares will be raping your souls
welcome where human warmth is ice
Nightmares feeding from your fears
welcome to see your world collides
The lyrics to Hocico's song Where Angels Don't Sing evoke a dark and twisted scene of violence and torture. The first few lines set the tone, with the singer inviting us to witness the awakening of a beast - presumably themselves - in response to someone's plea for mercy. The imagery of entrails and feasting paint a gruesome picture of what is to come.
The chorus speaks of nightmares and a world where human warmth is absent. The singer claims to be the envoy to cure our fantasies and redeem our sins, but it becomes clear that what they really enjoy is causing pain and hearing screams. The lines "I can rape your dreams, I kill and my soul exists" are particularly chilling, evoking a sense of sadistic pleasure.
The final stanza speaks directly to the victim, who is contorted under the singer's feet and begging for death. The singer wants them to resist so they can continue to enjoy the power dynamic of the situation. The lyrics end on a bleak note, with the victim lying where "compassion's a myth" and nightmare's feed off their fears.
Overall, the lyrics to Where Angels Don't Sing paint a vivid and disturbing picture of violence and domination. They explore themes of power, control, and sadism, and invite the listener to grapple with their own reactions to such extreme content.
