Mayhem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your lungs gasp for air but are filled with blood
A sudden crack as I crushed your skull
The remind of your life flashes by
A life that soon won't be
Smiling with axe in my hand
Evil's rotten hand you'll see
I come forward
Deathcrush
I'll send you to your maker
I'll send you to your death
Death nicely crucified
Death, heads on stakes
The barbeque has just begun
Deathcrush
Deathcrush

The song "Deathcrush" by Mayhem is a classic example of Norwegian black metal. The lyrics depict a brutal murder and the pleasure the killer takes in inflicting suffering on their victim. The opening lines set the scene with "Demonic laughter your cremation, Your lungs gasp for air but are filled with blood." The killer revels in the victim's suffering, laughing as they take their last breath. The next line, "A sudden crack as I crushed your skull," further emphasizes the violence and brutality of the murder.
The second half of the lyrics take a more philosophical turn, with the reminder that "a life that soon won't be" flashes before the victim's eyes. The killer's satisfaction is emphasized in the lines "Smiling with axe in my hand, Evil's rotten hand you'll see." The repetition of the word "Deathcrush" at the end of each verse hammers home the finality of death and the pleasure the killer takes in inflicting it upon others.
Overall, the lyrics of "Deathcrush" are disturbing and violent, with a focus on the sadistic pleasure the killer takes in causing suffering. The song is a stark reminder of the darkness that can lurk within humanity and the sinister allure of evil.

Demonic laughter your cremation
I am evil and find joy in burning your dead body
Your lungs gasp for air but are filled with blood
You struggle to breathe as I fatally injure you
A sudden crack as I crushed your skull
I violently destroy your head with force
The remind of your life flashes by
Your life quickly passes before your eyes as you face death
A life that soon won't be
You will die very soon, and your life will be over
Smiling with axe in my hand
I am enjoying holding the weapon that will kill you
Evil's rotten hand you'll see
You will witness the grotesque nature of my evil actions
I come forward
I advance towards you to carry out your death
Deathcrush
I will crush you to death
I'll send you to your maker
I will send you to meet your creator
I'll send you to your death
I will be the one to cause your death
Death nicely crucified
Your death will be a perfect execution of my desires
Death, heads on stakes
I will display the consequences of disobedience with heads on display
The barbeque has just begun
Your death is just the beginning of more senseless violence

To think that these guys were barely 18 when they made this masterpiece!
@christophershirley3279
True, that's something to admire. I'm 30 now and kind of coming to terms with the genius of artists, most of whom did this shit at such a you age. While I, a 30-year-old, go to work at a hotel.
