You Died
Miracle of Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
YOU DIED.
Out of your cell you ran and then
YOU DIED.
You pause to catch your breath
And die another gruesome death
So now you creep around each corner terrified
Humanity restored and then
YOU DIED.
A graveyard to explore...
HAHA DENIED.
For every step you take
Is just one more fatal mistake
So you must learn to take the torture in your stride
Bells chime torment
Darkest descent
Every soul spent
To doom sent...
Down in the depths of the dead
Feel the agony
Scars from a thousand wounds
In your memory
Over and over
Grind through the butchery
Once more you'll run this
Gauntlet of misery
Look to the sun's rays
Behold and offer praise
Look to the sun's rays
Comfort in the glow
Brave you may be
You think that your mind is tough?
Come have a go
If you think you're hard enough
Dive into death
Embrace all the treachery
Learn to enjoy
The bloodshed and butchery
Bells chime torment
Darkest descent
Every soul spent
Once more you
DIED.
The song "You Died" by Miracle Of Sound is an ode to the trials and tribulations faced by players of the popular video game Dark Souls. The lyrics paint a picture of a protagonist who repeatedly dies and respawns in a series of trials that seem almost impossible. The opening lines, "Your journey it began because YOU DIED. Out of your cell you ran and then YOU DIED," convey the sense of despair and frustration that players feel as they navigate through the game's harsh challenges.
As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on the themes of fear, resilience, and determination. The singer is constantly terrified, but must learn to take the torture in their stride, as "every step you take is just one more fatal mistake." The chorus reflects the overwhelming sense of darkness and despair that pervades the game's world, with lines like "Bells chime torment, darkest descent, every soul spent, to doom sent." Despite this, the singer continues on, determined to overcome the game's challenges and emerge victorious.
Overall, "You Died" is a powerful and evocative tribute to the unique experience of playing Dark Souls, capturing both the game's punishing difficulty and the satisfaction that comes from persevering through it.

Imagine, if you will, a monster.
Not just any monster.
Oh no, this monster is immortal.
No matter what you do, it will always rise right back up to try and kill you again.
Even if you cut off its head, cut its body into a thousand tiny pieces, and burn them all, it will magically reappear somewhere else to stalk you once more.
And to make it worse, this monster is also smart.
Capable of learning your every trick and figuring out a way to overcome everything you can throw at it.
Able to master any number of weapons, techniques, and arcane magics to bring about your end in the most excruciating way possible.
News flash: This isn't a hypothetical monster.
This monster exists in Dark Souls.
This monster is you.
You are not the small, frightened, insignificant creature they would have you believe.
You are the one with the power.
It's the monsters who should be scared.
Because you're coming for them.
And NOTHING is going to stop you.

I prepared Russian translate:
Ваше путешествие началось, потому что
ВЫ УМЕРЛИ.
Выбежали Вы из своей клетки и затем
ВЫ УМЕРЛИ.
Вы приостановились, чтобы перевести дыхание
И умерли другой ужасной смертью.
Теперь Вы жмётесь к каждому углу в ужасе.
Человечность восстановлена и затем
ВЫ УМЕРЛИ.
Исследовать кладбище...
ХАХА, ОТКЛОНЕНО.
Для каждого Вашего совершённого шага
Это просто очередная фатальная ошибка,
Поэтому Вы должны смириться с пыткой собственного шага.
Перезвон колоколов мучительный,
Спуск темнейший.
Каждая душа потрачена
Для обречения на гибель...
Спускайтесь в глубины мёртвых,
Почувствуйте агонию.
Шрамы тысячи ранений
В Вашей памяти.
Снова и снова
Пробиться через бойню.
Вы ещё раз пробежите через эту
Вереницу страданий.
Посмотрите на лучи солнца,
Узрите и вознесите хвалу.
Посмотрите на лучи солнца,
Почувствуйте комфорт в сиянии.
Должно быть Вы храбры
Раз Вы думаете, что Ваш дух крепок?
Идите, идите,
Раз Вы думаете, что достаточно сильны.
Нырните в смерть,
Примите предательство.
Учитесь получать удовольствие
От кровопролития и бойни.
Перезвон колоколов мучительный,
Спуск темнейший.
Каждая душа потрачена
Для обречения на гибель...
И ещё раз Вы УМЕРЛИ.
