Dungeon
Malfeitor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ran through the trees and the woods in the dungeon
You ever think about when it's time to die?
Now it's my time, death is calling me...
This is the place... for eternity!

The fear of death is being replaced by the fear of living
A beautiful smile upon my lips and hate in my eyes
I remember the cold winter days in the woods

Now I am the winter... for eternity!

Rising from below, dying in the woods
The world drove me to insanity, suffocating me
(I'm) dying in the old woods

The word drove me to insanity!
No I am the winter... for eternity!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Malfeitor's song "Dungeon" evoke a sense of impending doom and fatalism, as the singer runs through the trees and the woods in what seems to be their final moments of life. The opening lines suggest that the character is being pursued or chased, perhaps by death itself. The lines "You ever think about when it's time to die? / Now it's my time, death is calling me" reinforce this idea, as the character contemplates their own death and comes to accept it.

As the song progresses, the character's thoughts turn towards the nature of life and death. They seem to have come to a sort of existential realization, as they sing "The fear of death is being replaced by the fear of living". This suggests a feeling of disillusionment or disillusionment with life, as the character sees death as a release from the pain and struggle of existence. The final lines, "Now I am the winter... for eternity!", further emphasize the character's fatalism, as they accept their destiny to become a part of the endless cycle of life and death.

Line by Line Meaning

I ran through the trees and the woods in the dungeon
I wandered through the forest in the prison

You ever think about when it's time to die?
Do you ever ponder on death's arrival?

Now it's my time, death is calling me...
It's my turn, death is summoning me...

This is the place... for eternity!
This is where I'll stay forever!

The fear of death is being replaced by the fear of living
Fear of living has taken the place of fear of death

A beautiful smile upon my lips and hate in my eyes
My lips hold a lovely grin, yet my eyes exude loathing

I remember the cold winter days in the woods
Recalling the freezing winter days in the forest

Now I am the winter... for eternity!
Now I am winter forever!

Rising from below, dying in the woods
Emerging from beneath, dying in the forest

The world drove me to insanity, suffocating me
The world forced me into madness, choking me

(I'm) dying in the old woods
Fading away in the ancient forest
