Judgehydrogen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this rite they praise their lord Their guts are bloated with death and bone This night they walk to your light Their kingdom has come and now you writhe
In "The Road," Judgehydrogen paints a dark and haunting image of a journey through despair and terror. The lyrics describe a walk down a road filled with darkness and gloom, symbolizing a sense of hopelessness and fear. The singer's heart is weighed down by the overwhelming darkness and their dreams are also tainted by it. As they stumble along the road, their body feels fragile and vulnerable, as if their bones could crack and bend at any moment.
The mention of flesh gripping them tight in fear of hunger suggests the presence of menacing and predatory beings. The trees, described as bent, weeping, burnt, and bleeding, create a desolate and ominous atmosphere. The vivid imagery of old friends reaching out in a black and coarse manner implies that even those close to the singer have been corrupted and transformed into threatening figures. The lyrics further convey a sense of impending danger as the singer hides and stops breathing while witnessing the horrifying sight of their once familiar companions tearing flesh and veins off one another.
Line by Line Meaning
Walk down this road through the dark to the ending
Continue on this path despite the darkness, until you reach your inevitable destination
Gloom fills your heart fills your heart fills your dreams
Feel overwhelming sadness and despair that affects both your emotions and aspirations
Moan as your bones crack and bend as you stumble
Utter sounds of pain as your body weakens and you struggle to maintain balance
Flesh grips you tight in great fear of their hunger
Experience intense terror as predatory beings hold onto you tightly, driven by their insatiable appetite
Trees bent and weeping burnt and bleeding to your memories
Witness the devastation of nature, with trees twisted, sorrowful, scorched, and injured, mirroring your own painful recollections
Reach out to you black and coarse dead old friends
Long for the companionship of familiar figures who are now lifeless, possessing a somber and rough demeanor
Now hear their steps hide from them stop your breathing
Perceive the approach of these figures and attempt to avoid them, even ceasing your own breath to remain undetected
Watch as they tear flesh and veins off each other
Observe the gruesome sight of these beings viciously ripping apart their own bodies, tearing at their flesh and veins
In this rite they praise their lord
As part of a ritual, they celebrate and honor their master
Their guts are bloated with death and bone
Their stomachs are swollen and filled with the remnants of decayed bodies and skeletal remains
This night they walk to your light
During this particular night, they advance toward your illumination
Their kingdom has come and now you writhe
Their dominion has arrived, causing you to writhe in agony and distress
