Hatred
In Thy Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you once tried to forget
But deep down in back your mind
You know, you feel
In world of hate you search
The only thing you find is pain
You feel an attraction to others
You feel yourself lost
Running through the night
Looking for an unholy well
To feast upon the blood of man
And give a sacrifice
The above lyrics are from the song "Hatred" by In Thy Dreams. The lyrics speak about being haunted by past memories that you have tried to forget, yet they still linger in the back of your mind. Despite living in a world full of hate, you find yourself searching for something, but all you find is pain. You feel drawn towards other people, but you do not understand why, and you feel lost. Amidst all of this, there is a sense of urgency to find an unholy well and give a sacrifice by feasting upon the blood of man.
The lyrics, in essence, are about feeling lost and searching for something to fulfill you. However, in this search, you are willing to take drastic and potentially harmful measures. The idea of an unholy well and sacrificing by drinking the blood of others could be interpreted as an allusion to the supernatural or evil.

Haunted by memories
Reminded constantly of the past
That you once tried to forget
Attempts at removing those recollections previously made
But deep down in back your mind
Buried within your psyche is the memory
You know, you feel
Aware and experiencing those thoughts and emotions
In world of hate you search
Looking within a hostile environment
The only thing you find is pain
Discovering exclusively agony
You feel an attraction to others
Attracted to others experiencing similar feelings
But you don't know why
Unsure of the cause
You feel yourself lost
Feeling directionless and without purpose
Running through the night
Sprinting under the cover of darkness
Looking for an unholy well
Seeking out a corrupt water source
To feast upon the blood of man
Consume the vital fluid of humans
And give a sacrifice
Offer something, possibly to a higher power
