Living Hell
Life Cried Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside we are dead and gone, the dying has just begun
Consumed by sacrifice, we are paying with our life
Why mourn what must be dead, which bleeds and bleeds again
Hard to breathe in this living hell
I know it burns but it suits you well
They do not see what lies ahead
Close your eyes, everything is alright
Consumed by sacrifice, we are paying with our life
Why mourn what must be dead, which bleeds and bleeds again
Conjure evil thoughts, we have paid the reapers cost
Inside we are dead and gone, the dying has just begun
The lyrics to Life Cried's song Living Hell speak to the idea of being trapped in a painful existence from which there is no escape. The opening lines "Conjure evil thoughts, we have paid the reapers cost / Inside we are dead and gone, the dying has just begun" set the tone for the rest of the song. The imagery of reapers and dying speaks to the idea of death and decay, suggesting that the singer's life is essentially over.
The chorus of the song, with the lines "Hard to breathe in this living hell / I know it burns but it suits you well / They do not see what lies ahead / When sun has failed and moon is dead" offers a glimpse into the singer's psyche. The phrase "living hell" suggests that the singer is experiencing intense pain and suffering. The line "I know it burns but it suits you well" implies that the singer has become comfortable with the suffering, perhaps even addicted to it. The final two lines of the chorus are particularly haunting, suggesting that the future holds only darkness and despair.
The final verse repeats the opening lines, "Consumed by sacrifice, we are paying with our life / Why mourn what must be dead, which bleeds and bleeds again / Conjure evil thoughts, we have paid the reapers cost / Inside we are dead and gone, the dying has just begun". This repetition reinforces the idea that the singer's life is over and that they are trapped in an endless cycle of suffering.
Overall, the song Living Hell is a powerful commentary on the human experience of pain, suffering, and the darkness that lies within us all.
