The Punishment
Malrun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The void between the living and the dead is getting smaller
We're trying desperately to solve the puzzle of complete disorder
Craters of deception slowly tears the world apart
While memories of what was are in us infinitely scarred
All that we've build is crumbling down to the ground
Nowhere to hide ourselves from the soul-consuming deadly sound
That fills the air because of what was said and done
Soon there'll be nothing left no matter where you run

Ceiled down below
Beneath the scorching ground
We're running dry
Beneath the burning sky

The afterlife is closing in on our position
And there are no more chances for redefinition
Our world is gonna end today, there's nothing to be done
So join together, say your prayers before we come undone

All that we've build is crumbling down to the ground
The air's unbreathable and will forever be unbound
Destruction's imminent, the punishment is here
Soon there'll be nothing left cause we will disappear

We will disappear
Disappear

Ceiled down below
Beneath the scorching ground
We're running dry
Beneath the burning sky

We will never let you go
Will this be the end?
The final stage of anguish breaks you down
Life it passes before your eyes
Trying to rip out your soul
But it's stuck with you
It's keeping death away
We will never let you go

We are your punishment




We are your punishment
We are your punishment

Overall Meaning

In "The Punishment" by Malrun, the lyrics paint a picture of a world on the brink of destruction. The void between the living and the dead is narrowing, symbolizing the blurring of boundaries between life and death. The desperate attempt to solve the puzzle of complete disorder reflects the chaotic state of the world, where deception and lies have created craters that tear society apart. The memories of what was, the scars left within us, serve as a constant reminder of the past.


The lyrics convey a sense of inevitability and impending doom. Everything that has been built is crumbling, and there is nowhere to hide from the soul-consuming deadly sound, suggesting that the consequences of past actions are catching up with everyone. The afterlife is closing in, leaving no room for redemption or redefinition. The world is destined to end, and there is nothing that can be done to change it. The call to join together and say prayers before coming undone implies a last-ditch effort for solace and to find meaning in the face of impending destruction.


The repetition of the phrase "Ceiled down below, beneath the scorching ground, we're running dry, beneath the burning sky" intensifies the feelings of despair and hopelessness. It alludes to the confinement and suffocation of being trapped in a world that is on the brink of collapse.


Overall, "The Punishment" explores themes of destruction, consequences, and the desperate struggle for survival in a world on the verge of annihilation.

Lyrics:

The void between the living and the dead is getting smaller
We’re trying desperately to solve the puzzle of complete disorder
Craters of deception slowly tears the world apart
While memories of what was are in us infinitely scarred
All that we’ve build is crumbling down to the ground
Nowhere to hide ourselves from the soul-consuming deadly sound
That fills the air because of what was said and done
Soon there’ll be nothing left no matter where you run

Ceiled down below
Beneath the scorching ground
We’re running dry
Beneath the burning sky

The afterlife is closing in on our position
And there are no more chances for redefinition
Our world is gonna end today, there’s nothing to be done
So join together, say your prayers before we come undone

All that we’ve build is crumbling down to the ground
The air’s unbreathable and will forever be unbound
Destruction’s imminent, the punishment is here
Soon there’ll be nothing left ‘cause we will disappear

We will disappear
Disappear

Ceiled down below
Beneath the scorching ground
We’re running dry
Beneath the burning sky

We will never let you go
Will this be the end?
The final stage of anguish breaks you down
Life it passes before your eyes
Trying to rip out your soul
But it’s stuck with you
It’s keeping death away
We will never let you go

We are your punishment
We are your punishment
We are your punishment
