Transformation
I Am Abomination Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My eyes are open
And I have risen from the dead
I'm no longer human
And I can feel the infection spread

My former body is bitter, broken, and gone
Now I hover with disease of feelings withdrawn
This story started with my dissection

And now it's ending with my resurrection

I died the death for all
I died the death for all
I've suffered pain that no man could ever endure
I was a sacrificial lamb, diseased and a king
And from the castle in the sky I hear them sing
Whoa, judgment to everyone
We'll deal with all the child's force
No one forgets his face
He's coming home to his birthplace

This here embodies as we hold so well
I have no restrictions or strings to keep me held
My former home was a prison and held me back
This is what freedom is, what dreams are made of

My former body is bitter broken and gone
Now I hover with disease of feelings withdrawn
This story started with my dissection
And now it's ending with my resurrection

I died the death for all
I died the death for all
I've suffered pain that no man could ever endure
I was a sacrificial lamb, diseased and a king
And from the castle in the sky I hear them sing
Whoa, judgment to everyone
We'll deal with all the child's force
No one forgets his face
He's coming home to his birthplace

I've already chosen to rid of the filth
Now I must spread my wings and return to my throne

I died the death for all
I died the death for all
I've suffered pain that no man could ever endure
I was a sacrificial lamb, diseased and a king
And from the castle in the sky I hear them sing
Whoa, judgment to everyone
We'll deal with all the child's force

No one forgets his face
He's coming home to his birthplace

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Transformation" by I Am Abomination tell the story of a person who has gone through a metamorphosis, arising from the dead as something other than human. However, this transformation has not made them feel any less empty, as they hover with feelings withdrawn. The story suggests that this transformation happened through some sort of scientific experiment, as it started with their dissection and ended with their resurrection. Despite having died a painful death, the person claims to have done so for others and to have freed themselves from their former body, which was a "prison" holding them back. They now have no restrictions and must spread their wings and return to their throne.

One interpretation of this song is that it speaks to the idea of overcoming personal struggles and limitations. The person in the story has gone through a painful transformation, but they have emerged as something stronger and freer than before. The references to judgment and returning home to a birthplace also hint at a religious or spiritual aspect to the character's transformation.

Line by Line Meaning

My eyes are open
I am now aware and conscious

And I have risen from the dead
I have metaphorically come back to life

I'm no longer human
I have become something different from what I once was

And I can feel the infection spread
I can sense my transformation spreading throughout me

My former body is bitter, broken, and gone
My previous self was negative and ruined, and now it no longer exists

Now I hover with disease of feelings withdrawn
I am now floating with a sickness of repressed emotions

This story started with my dissection
My journey began with being torn apart

And now it's ending with my resurrection
And it will now end with my revival

I died the death for all
I went through death-like pain for everyone's benefit

I've suffered pain that no man could ever endure
I have experienced agony that is beyond human limit

I was a sacrificial lamb, diseased and a king
I was both the offering and the ruler, sick with transformation

And from the castle in the sky I hear them sing
I can hear praises being sung in a heavenly place

Whoa, judgment to everyone
Everyone will be held accountable for their actions

We'll deal with all the child's force
We will confront with full power and intensity

No one forgets his face
His face will never be forgotten

He's coming home to his birthplace
He is returning to his place of origin

This here embodies as we hold so well
I now embody something that I have held inside me for a long time

I have no restrictions or strings to keep me held
I am no longer tied down or limited

My former home was a prison and held me back
My previous life was suffocating and prevented me from growing

This is what freedom is, what dreams are made of
This new state represents true freedom and the fulfillment of aspirations

I've already chosen to rid of the filth
I have made a decision to eliminate the impurities

Now I must spread my wings and return to my throne
It's now time to expand and take back my position of power

so i am lost. are they talking about jesus or aliens? "God dies when the churches rise He was born when the ancient astronauts arrived The heavens exist and our maker is there, Death is not the way to visit, technology is our only prayer" someone get back to me ya?

Definitely aliens, just making religious references so the idea is more easily understood. At the very end of the album you hear the alien speaking..."We set the stage, but like the termites that you were, you ate away at the home we provided. We rid of the virus before it spread. We are the saviors. With the chosen one we shall move forth with the idea. The successors will be given life without eyes. For their ancestors never opened theirs."
