Hounds of Hell
Meduza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the eyes of a bitter truth
Fear will shoot through your soul.
You raise your cup and drink their blood
You've gained the power, but you've lost your soul
Oh, what have you done?
Like ice down your spine
They are here
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
[SOLO]
Cast away your chains and run
The battle for your life's began
Don't ever look back.
You can hear the hideous cries
They're getting close, you know they're near
Oh, they'll tear you apart
Can you feel their breath?
Like ice down your spine
They are here
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
[SOLO]
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
The lyrics of Meduza's song "Hounds of Hell" depict a bleak and terrifying world viewed through the eyes of someone who has been exposed to a "bitter truth." The singer warns the listener that once they see the world in this way, "fear will shoot through your soul." The perspective they offer is one where power comes at the cost of losing one's soul. The image of raising a cup and drinking blood serves as a metaphor for giving into temptation and gaining power by exploiting others.
The "Hounds of Hell" serve as a metaphor for the consequences of this behavior. They are described as sniffing at the singer's heels, indicating that they are in constant pursuit. There is nowhere to hide and no hope of escape. The situation is dire, and the singer warns that "you know you're doomed." The song ends on a somber note, implying that the consequences of the singer's actions are inevitable and irreversible.
