Deadman
Matriarchs Lyrics

So tired of living this hell
Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by the constant pain and suffering of existence

Every day a sentence
Each day feels like a punishment or prison sentence

My mind is the cell
Feeling mentally trapped and confined within one's own thoughts

Expectations
The pressures and demands placed upon oneself

I'm forced to excel
Being compelled to exceed expectations and constantly strive for success

Though I never asked
Despite not seeking or desiring such high standards

To compare
To be measured against or judged alongside

To anyone else
Other individuals or their achievements

1 by 1
One after another or sequentially

On we march
Continuing to move forward despite difficulties

Suffer the loss at the will Of a tyrant
Enduring hardships imposed by a cruel and oppressive figure

Spike a vein
Injecting drugs in order to escape emotional pain

Just to numb the pain
Seeking temporary relief from suffering

But the wound never heals
The emotional wounds and trauma remain unresolved

Lose my name
Sacrificing one's individual identity

For your own gain
In order to benefit someone else

Crushed by the will of the loveless
Overwhelmed and oppressed by the desires and actions of those lacking love or compassion

Swallow my pride
Suppressing one's dignity or self-respect

All of my life
Throughout my entire existence

So you can make a dime
To facilitate someone else's financial gain

But in my dreams on your knees
In my fantasies, witnessing your downfall and submission

As I watch you die
Experiencing satisfaction or vindication in witnessing your demise

Forcing a smile choke on denial
Faking happiness while internally struggling with denial or refusal to accept reality

I've Become a slave
Having become trapped and controlled by others

Just a means to an end
Being used solely as a tool or instrument for achieving a desired outcome

With No fucking name
Having lost one's individuality and personal identity

Trapped in a world so cold
Feeling trapped in a harsh, unforgiving, and emotionally detached environment

That I no longer feel alive
Losing the sense of vitality and joy in life

Watch you grow fat on the throne
Observing your excessive wealth and power as you dominate others

While I fight to survive
Struggling to endure and stay alive amidst adversity

Sold on a dream that was all
Being deceived and manipulated by a false and empty promise

Just a fucking lie
Merely a blatant falsehood or deception

A casualty of your greed
Becoming a victim of your insatiable desire for wealth and power

I will not abide!
I refuse to tolerate or accept such treatment

Coward
An insult implying lack of courage or bravery

You judge your worth by a means
You assess your value based on superficial or meaningless criteria

That doesn't mean a thing
Which ultimately holds no true significance or importance

When you've seen what I've seen
After witnessing the same experiences and hardships as I have

Into the slaughter
Entering a situation of extreme violence and destruction

Without name
Lacking recognition or acknowledgment for one's actions or existence

Unashamed
Feeling no guilt or remorse for one's actions

Crush his will
Overpowering and destroying someone's determination or resolve

And reclaim what is ours
Taking back what rightfully belongs to us

The king is fucking dead
The oppressive ruler or authority figure has been eliminated

So ready his head for display
Prepare to showcase the remains or symbolize victory over the tyrant

And rejoice at the fall of a tyrant
Finding joy and celebration in the downfall of a cruel and oppressive leader

Dance the dance of a dead man
Engaging in a symbolic or metaphorical celebration of liberation and triumph over oppression
