Loudblast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think to know all about me
You find I'm repulsive
You don't understand the word pity
I'm just your whipping boy
For the jokes I'm your guy
But beware of your mind
Today it could twist
Dream to nightmare
I can give it to you
The power I possess
Nobody can't escape
Life to corpse
I just curse you
My brain's on fire
I decide of your fate
My eyes peer and destroy
My will is done
My hatred is stronger than the horror
Which is burning inside you
No forgiveness only revenge
The wickedness of my mind scorns you
Now you implore me to save your life
For me it's already gone
You hear the horrid screams
Coming from everywhere and nowhere
You see destruction and fear
But it's too late for coming back
Your hands beg for mercy
Insanity is near
I can see your eyes crying
Now you give up the ghost
Dream to nightmare
I have given it to you
The power I possess
Nobody had escaped
Life to corpse
You've just felt my wrath
My brain's on fire
I decide of your fate
My eyes peer and destroy
My will is done
My hatred is stronger than the horror
Which is burning inside you
No forgiveness only revenge
The wickedness of my mind scorns you
Now you implore me to save your life
For me it's already gone
The horrible sight of pain
Can't cure my twisted mind
I wanna hear your muffled howl
Your fear is my only pleasure
The day for the burial is coming
But I will not go into mourning
I see your corpse put on a hearse
While the bells toll the knell
The song "Rebirth" by Loudblast is an intense meditation on revenge and power. The lyrics speak to the idea of being underestimated due to one's appearance or position, but possessing a hidden strength that can be unleashed with terrible consequences. The singer is portrayed as a "whipping boy" who is mocked and ridiculed by others, but who has a twisted mind and a thirst for revenge. The imagery and language used in the lyrics are vivid and visceral, painting a picture of destruction and despair.
The song begins with the singer addressing the listener, stating that they believe they know everything about him, but they are wrong. He is seen as repulsive and pitiful by those around him, but he holds a terrible power that others cannot escape. Through the use of his twisted mind, he can take dreams and turn them into nightmares, and life into death. The singer is consumed by a desire for revenge, and even though others may plead for mercy or forgiveness, he has already made up his mind to destroy them.
As the song progresses, the imagery becomes more violent and brutal, with the singer portraying himself as a destroyer of worlds. The listener is left with the impression that the singer is an unstoppable force, driven by hatred and a desire for vengeance. The final lines of the song are particularly chilling, describing the singer's pleasure in hearing the muffled howls of his victims, and his lack of mourning at the sight of their corpses.

Coming from everywhere and nowhere
The screams seem to be coming from all around but have no identifiable source
You see destruction and fear
You witness widespread devastation and terror
But it's too late for coming back
It is impossible to undo the damage that has been done
Your hands beg for mercy
You plead for compassion and forgiveness
Insanity is near
You are on the brink of losing your mind
I can see your eyes crying
I observe that you are crying or weeping
Now you give up the ghost
You die or succumb to your fate
You've just felt my wrath
You have just experienced my anger or vengeance
The horrible sight of pain
Seeing pain and suffering is a source of pleasure for me
Can't cure my twisted mind
Even witnessing or inflicting pain cannot change my perverse way of thinking
I wanna hear your muffled howl
I desire to hear the sounds of your agony, even if they are stifled
Your fear is my only pleasure
Making you afraid or causing you pain is the source of my enjoyment
The day for the burial is coming
The day of your funeral is approaching
But I will not go into mourning
I will not express sorrow or sadness for your death
I see your corpse put on a hearse
I watch as your body is placed on a cart for coffin transport
While the bells toll the knell
As the bells ring, I contemplate the finality of your demise
