Eviscerate
Matriarchs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eviscerate!
This is A New Way Of Thinking
For So Long I Have Been Sleeping
But Now I Wont Keep On Leaning On
The Crutch Made For Us All

This is A New Way Of Thinking
For So Long We Have Been Sleeping
But Now I WOnt Keep On Leaning
On The Crutch Made For Us

Lately I've been Feelin Like Things Aren't
All That They Seem
Like My Hearts Been Torn Out
Pulled Apart At The Seems
I watch Myself Fall Out
Fall To My Grave

My Mind Goes Numb
Watching I've Been Erased
In My Mind
It was You and I
But Now All I see Are Lies
You Fade Away
Nothing To Cling On To
So Now I Must Eviscerate

Eviscerate!
This is A New Way Of Thinking
For So Long I Have Been Sleeping
But Now I Wont Keep On Leaning On
The Crutch Made For Us All

This is A New Way Of Thinking
For So Long We Have Been Sleeping
But Now I WOnt Keep On Leaning
On The Crutch Made For Us

For Too Long I Have Lived In Fear
Held Back By All The Things I Feel
I'm Tired Of This Weight On my Back
Laugh As My Smile Begins To Crack

What Shouldnt Be
Shall Never Be




A Promised Land
We Will Never See

Overall Meaning

The song "Eviscerate" by Matriarchs explores the theme of breaking free from societal norms and expectations, and finding a new way of thinking. The lyrics convey a sense of awakening after a long period of inaction or conformity. The repetition of the phrase "This is a new way of thinking" emphasizes the desire for change and a departure from the status quo.


The opening lines suggest that the singer has been asleep or passive for a considerable amount of time, relying on a metaphorical crutch that has been provided for everyone. However, the individual has come to realize that this reliance is no longer sustainable and decides not to lean on that crutch anymore.


The lyrics also touch on the feeling of disillusionment and betrayal. The singer feels that things are not as they appear, and their heart has been torn apart. They watch themselves fall and become numb to the world around them. The line "In my mind, it was you and I, but now all I see are lies" suggests a broken trust or disillusionment with someone or something the singer once held dear. This loss leads to the decision to "eviscerate," which can be interpreted as a metaphorical cutting away or removal of the negativity and falsehoods in their life. It signifies a willingness to let go of the past and embrace a new mindset.


Overall, "Eviscerate" expresses a desire to break free from societal expectations, let go of past disappointments, and embrace a new way of thinking.
