Eyes of Abomination
Malodorous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And meet your demise
As blood pours from your eyes
I beam in mirth
Now soaked in your own clot
You are condemned forevermore
My eyes now harvesting souls
At an uncontrollable rate
The lyrics of Malodorous's song Eyes of Abomination depict a grotesque and disturbing scenario. The singer is inviting the listener to look into their eyes, but the consequences of doing so are dire. The listener will meet their demise, and blood will pour from their eyes. The singer takes joy in this, as evidenced by their beaming in mirth. They revel in the fact that the listener is now soaked in their own clot and condemned forevermore. The singer's eyes have become harvesting grounds for souls, and they cannot be stopped from their deadly mission.
There are many interpretations one could draw from these lyrics. Perhaps the singer is a demon or other supernatural being, and looking into their eyes is a way of passing into the afterlife. Alternatively, it could be a metaphor for the power that some individuals hold over others, which can be both intoxicating and deadly. Whatever the case, one thing is clear: there is something deeply unsettling about the image of blood pouring from someone's eyes, and the singer's gleeful response to this is deeply disturbing.

Look into my eyes
I want you to gaze into my eyes
And meet your demise
To suffer a dreadful end when you do so
As blood pours from your eyes
You will bleed from your eyes
I beam in mirth
I am filled with pleasure and amusement
Now soaked in your own clot
You are now completely covered in your own coagulated blood
You are condemned forevermore
You are sentenced to eternal damnation
My eyes now harvesting souls
I am collecting souls with my eyes
At an uncontrollable rate
It is happening at a pace that cannot be regulated or stopped
I cannot be stopped
I am unstoppable
