Domination
Massimo Rizzi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Agony is the price
That you'll pay in the end
Domination consumes you
Then calls you a friend
It's a twisted fall
Binds are like steel
And manipulates the will to be
How soon we forget
When there's nothing else
Left to destroy
It's a useless ploy
Your eyes will see
The dawn of the day
And the writing
On the wall
Those words that stare
Into your soul
And to yourself
You will befall
It's domination!
Pushed into living hell
It's Domination!
A now blacked heart
Is reaching out divinity
Body suspended by chains over razors
And nails it's a penalty
Each razor a vice and each nail
Marks the demise of your life.
Grim construction grows
Has life played a trick
Sealed you in brick by brick
Till your end forcing you to bend
Your eyes will see
The dawn of the day
And the writing
On the wall
Those words that stare
Into your soul
And to yourself
You will befall
It's domination pushed into living hell
It's Domination!
The lyrics of Massimo Rizzi's song “Domination” explores themes of power, control, and manipulation. The first line, “Agony is the price that you'll pay in the end,” sets the tone for the rest of the song as it suggests that there will be a terrible cost for the pursuit of domination. The lyrics indicate that once one is consumed by the desire for power, it becomes hard to see that destruction lies in its wake. The line, “And it's hard to see, how soon we forget when there's nothing else left to destroy” suggests that once there is nothing left to dominate or destroy, one is left with an emptiness that leads to self-destruction.
The second verse portrays the physical pain that comes with domination, demonstrated by “Body suspended by chains over razors and nails, it's a penalty. Each razor a vice and each nail marks the demise of your life.” This depiction emphasizes the cruelty and brutality of domination. The chorus “It's domination, pushed into living hell. It's domination” emphasizes how one is pushed into the living hell of domination, and it's a cycle that is almost impossible to escape.
