Requiem
I.T.G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi refugio de cristal
Fue la presa de una bestia cruel
Cubierta en sangre
Sometiendo con dolor
Destruye su corazón
Su sed de carne tan
Repugnante y feroz
Cegado por el placer
Alivia la eterna voz de sus complejos y yo
Deseo volver
Y escucharla otra vez
Arrancarlo de su piel
Sin compasión, sin piedad
El ataque de un mortal
Que sirvió para saciar
Su hambre de miradas rotas que suplican calma
No mas evasión
No mas sumisión
¡No!
Sometiendo con dolor
Destruye su corazón
Su sed de carne tan
Repugnante y feroz
Rechaza su compasión
Cegado por el placer
Alivia la eterna voz de sus complejos y yo
Deseo volver
Y escucharla otra vez
Arrancarlo de su piel
Deseo escucharlo suplicando ante mis pies
Quemarlo de su ser
Sin compasión, sin piedad
Deseo volver
Y escucharla otra vez
Arrancarlo de su piel
Deseo escucharlo suplicando ante mis pies
Quemarlo de su ser
Sin compasión, sin piedad
The lyrics of "Requiem" by I.T.G. tell a gruesome story of a predator preying on innocence and mercilessly destroying their heart, driven by a repulsive and ferocious desire for flesh. The singer of the song expresses a desire to hear the victim's voice once again and to remove the predator from their skin with no compassion or mercy. The predator is depicted as being blinded by pleasure and disregarding any sense of empathy or sympathy towards their prey.
The opening lines of the song describe the innocence and vulnerability of the victim, perhaps a child or young person, who becomes the outlet for the predator's twisted desires. The metaphor of "my crystal refuge" suggests that the victim was a source of comfort and safety for the singer, now shattered and destroyed by the predator's attack. The lines "His thirst for broken glances that plead for calm / No more evasion, no more submission / No!" hint at a possible motive for the attack - the predator's desire to exert power and control over someone weaker than themselves, satisfying their twisted hunger for dominance.
The singer's desire to hear the victim's voice once again and to remove the predator from their skin with no compassion or mercy is a call for justice and vengeance. The repeated lines "I want to listen to her again / Tear it from his skin / Without mercy, without pity" highlight the intensity of the singer's emotions and the depth of their anger towards the predator. Overall, the lyrics of "Requiem" paint a grim and disturbing picture of the consequences of unchecked desire and the suffering it can cause.
