Nausea
Imindain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes in sockets
Face in contortion
Hands in stasis
Still bleeding...

Still breathing...
Skin in ribbons...
Still breathing...
Shattered huddles in rags...

Seared ghostlike
Where they stood
Eyes burned away
Buckets of wedding rings
Cities of burning hell
Children are burning...

Hold me as we burn
Let me see the flames




Let us be washed away
We shall be this place

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Imindain's "Nausea" describe a scene of complete destruction and devastation. The imagery is graphic and violent, with descriptions of bleeding, burning, and shattered bodies. The repetition of "still breathing" adds a sense of eerie stillness to the chaos.


The line "buckets of wedding rings" is particularly poignant, suggesting that this destruction has wiped out not only physical structures but also the intimate connections between people. The final lines, "hold me as we burn / let me see the flames / let us be washed away / we shall be this place," suggest a desire for unity and acceptance of this destruction as a part of the fabric of existence.


Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of horror and mourning, but also a strange beauty in the midst of destruction. The repetition of "still breathing" and the desire to be one with the flames suggest a relinquishing of control and a willingness to accept the chaos of life.
