Devilution
Kill the Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To stare at the crack in
The mirror of your fate
And the nightmare
Begins to call you awake
Oh the vision on the
Horizon seem
Hopeless and pale
Its embrace
Deceiving us to take
Part in this insane game
That is changing all
From inside it's changing all
Ever regression
Forever regression
Pale is the moon and the
Shadow is blinding our eyes
Days turn to night far above
Dies the star that we are
So the glimpse
Remaining behind
Should make us doubt
So it is done
We are to fade
We drift along the stream
And bathe in the river 'till
We're pure enough to rot
We never got to know
What went wrong
We never knew we had
To stay until the end of all
It is changing all
From inside it's changing all
Ever regression
Changed us all
From inside it changed us all
Forever regression
Never dissension
Never escape no
Never a fiction
Never
Slave you are
Deep inside enslaved you are
From the depths of your doom
Shall you rise like a beast
Stone you are
A statue of stone you've become
Come fly and face your own
Reflections paralyzing stare
Save yourself
Flee from yourself
Deny the cage you hide in
And become the one you fear
The lyrics of Kill the Romance's song "Devilution" depict a bleak and hopeless view of the world, with the singer describing a feeling of being trapped and deceived by an unseen force. The first stanza describes a vision on the horizon that seems hopeless and pale, yet is still drawing the singer into its embrace. They feel as though they are being deceived into playing a part in an insane game, with their fate reflected back to them in a cracked mirror.
The chorus repeats the idea that something is changing from the inside, and that this "ever regression" is consuming everyone. The second verse describes the pale moon and blinding shadow, as well as the sense of time passing by with the dying of a star. The singer feels as though they are drifting along a river, bathing until they are pure enough to rot, without ever really understanding what went wrong or their purpose in life.
The final stanza urges the listener to rise up from their enslavement and become the one they fear, breaking free from their cage, facing their own reflection, and saving themselves. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and hopelessness, with the singer and the listener being trapped in a world that is changing and consuming them from the inside out.
Line by Line Meaning
Blind that you are
You can't see what's happening.
To stare at the crack in
You're too focused on something small.
The mirror of your fate
You're not realizing the big picture.
And the nightmare
You're living in a bad situation.
Begins to call you awake
You're starting to realize how bad things are.
Oh the vision on the
The bad thing that's happening seems
Horizon seem
Very far away yet still terrible.
Hopeless and pale
It seems that there's no way out.
It's welcoming us into
It's enticing us to join it.
Its embrace
Its clutches that will ruin us.
Deceiving us to take
It's tricking us into doing something bad.
Part in this insane game
Being part of something that's doomed.
That is changing all
It's changing everything.
From inside it's changing all
The change is coming from within.
Ever regression
Things are getting worse and worse.
Forever regression
Things will only keep getting worse.
Pale is the moon and the
The world is looking hopeless,
Shadow is blinding our eyes
And we can't see what's truly happening.
Days turn to night far above
Time doesn't stop and things only get worse.
Dies the star that we are
We die slowly, losing ourselves.
So the glimpse
What we can see
Remaining behind
Only shows us what we've lost.
Should make us doubt
And this should make us question everything.
So it is done
This is how it ends.
We are to fade
We will disappear.
We drift along the stream
We're just going with the flow.
And bathe in the river 'till
We're enjoying life without thinking.
We're pure enough to rot
But we don't see that it's killing us.
We never got to know
We were never able to find out
What went wrong
What we did to make things so bad.
We never knew we had
We didn't realize that we had to
To stay until the end of all
Stay and deal with the consequences of our actions.
Slave you are
You're trapped in a bad situation.
Deep inside enslaved you are
And it's something you can't escape from.
From the depths of your doom
From the terrible situation you're in,
Shall you rise like a beast
You need to rise above it all, like an animal in the wild.
Stone you are
You're hard and unfeeling, like a statue.
A statue of stone you've become
You've lost your humanity.
Come fly and face your own
You need to face your problems head on,
Reflections paralyzing stare
Even though it's scary to do so.
Save yourself
Find a way to fix things and escape.
Flee from yourself
Leave your bad self behind.
Deny the cage you hide in
Don't let your situation control you.
And become the one you fear
Become the person you want to be, not the person you're currently afraid of.

Hello metalheads, emo's, goths, scene, punks. Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan 1. Don't bash other metal artists, we must unite! We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together 2. Watch more and more metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea Copy this text in every Metal,screamo, death metal ect. tvideo you watch!
