Desolation
Lamb of God䀀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without a single word left unchecked
And by your own admission
No one is ever above suspicion
Defenses never to be let down
The lies readily abound,
Gaping jaw tightly wound.
Still searching for nowhere
Desolation
You’re living in nowhere.
Smoking gun, cause and effect
Paradise lost, a beautiful wreck
And to you I solemnly swear
All I ever wanted was away from here
All that for nothing,
What a fucking waste of time
I only took what was rightfully mine
Seek and you shall find.
In your desolation
Still searching for nowhere
Desolation
You’re living in nowhere.
The dying man might take you with him
Until then I’ll split the difference
All that for nothing,
What a fucking waste of time.
I’m gonna take what is rightfully mine.
In your desolation
Still searching for nowhere
Desolation
You’re living in nowhere.
All that for nothing,
What a fucking waste of time
All that for nothing,
What a fucking waste of time
The dying man might take you with him
I swear to you I’ll split the difference
All that for nothing
What a fucking waste of time.
Desolation
The lyrics to Lamb of God's song, Desolation, are focused on the idea of feeling hollow and searching for something that doesn't exist. The lyrics suggest it's a journey that is ultimately unfulfilling and leaves the singer feeling empty. The first verse acknowledges how people speak indirectly and keep their guards up to avoid being caught in lies. This leads to mistrust, suspicion, and the tendency to keep one's defenses up. The chorus is a repetition of the word desolation, which indicates a feeling of utter emptiness and despair. The second verse uses metaphors to deepen the theme of the song. "Smoking gun, cause and effect" suggests that everything is predetermined, and there's nothing that can be done to change one's fate. "Paradise lost, a beautiful wreck" speaks to the idea that the singer had high hopes for something that is now lost and in shambles. The bridge says, "The dying man might take you with him, until then I’ll split the difference." This line implies that the singer might be doing something out of spite or revenge, and it's unclear what the outcome will be.

Still searching for nowhere

Desolation
A bleak and lonely place
You’re living in nowhere.
You feel like you have no real home or place of belonging
Smoking gun, cause and effect
The act and its consequences, both of which are clear and evident
Paradise lost, a beautiful wreck
A once-perfect situation that is now destroyed and ruined
And to you I solemnly swear
Making a serious promise to someone
All I ever wanted was away from here
Desiring to escape from one's current situation
All that for nothing,
The efforts made were wasted
What a fucking waste of time
Expressing anger and frustration about the wasted time
I only took what was rightfully mine
Taking only what one feels is deserved or earned
Seek and you shall find.
If you look for something, you will eventually find it
The dying man might take you with him
If someone is dying, they may take others down with them
Until then I’ll split the difference
In the meantime, I'll take a middle path or solution
