Death Blooms
Mudvayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With age mark off the day reflections of my life are fading
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in
A structure that's collapsing don't want it cast into
Maker take the body don't want it wants me
Peace bleached will pardon me reflections of my life are fading
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in
A structure that's collapsing don't want it cast into
Maker take the body don't want it wants me
I just want to run fly kites wrestle jump and play
Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me
Cocooned in misery
I'm sick and tired of embracing reflections of past time receive me
Or cast me away
God please take me away
Resistance futile suicidal ideas I will crucify my own being satisfy
Selfish needs fuck the deities justify my own right to what's waiting
For me
On the other side the time has come lock and load I'm coming I'm
Coming I'm coming I'm coming home
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in
A structure that's collapsing descending don't want it
Maker take the body don't want it wants me
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in
Feeble frail and rotting descending I'm lost in
A structure that's collapsing descending don't want it
Maker take the body don't want it wants me
I just want to run fly kites wrestle jump and play
Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me
Cocooned in misery
The darkness overcomes soul soars to the other plain
Existence past the door I sail through purgatory's bay
I asked a god for poison cradle me sown to my dreams souls searching
Death blossoms where clouds lie over me held in god's hands death
Blooming
Dark for fear of failure an inner gloom as wide as an eye and
Fermenting roiling hate death grip in my veins unveiling rancid
Petals flowering forth foul nectar the space between a blink and a
Tear
Death blooms
The song "Death Blooms" by Mudvayne explores the fear of mortality and the desire to escape the pain of existence. The lyrics describe the singer's physical and emotional decay, as well as their longing for an escape from their body and the memories that haunt them. The first verse paints a picture of a decaying body and fading memories. The singer pleads with their deity to take their body and release them from their suffering. The chorus repeats this desire for release and escape, along with a longing to return to simple childhood joys.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotional turmoil. They are desperate for salvation, but fear that they will not be accepted by their God. They are cocooned in misery, trapped by their own thoughts and memories. The bridge reveals a darker side of the singer's desperation, as they contemplate suicide and reject traditional religious beliefs. They want control over their own fate and justify their actions as a way to escape the uncertain fate that awaits them in the afterlife.
The final chorus intensifies the singer's desire for escape, as they long for death to take them away from their dark thoughts and physical pain. They envision sailing through purgatory and blooming into death, consumed by the darkness that has overtaken their soul.
Overall, "Death Blooms" is a haunting and introspective song that grapples with the fear of death and the desire for release.

Cold seems crippling
Lame meander through corridors
Aroma's thick with age
Mark off the day
Reflections of my life are fading, pull me out of body
Don't want it, don't want in, feeble frail and rotting
Descending
I'm lost in a structure that's collapsing
Don't want it
Cast into, maker take the body
Don't want it, it wants me
Past has found its place
Salvation is no more
Will God accept my peace
Bleached will pardon me
Reflections of my life are fading, pull me out of body
Don't want it, don't want in, feeble frail and rotting descending
I'm lost in a structure that's collapsing
Don't want it
Cast into, maker take the body
Don't want it, it wants me
I just want to run around
Fly kites, wrestle, jump and play
Swim through waves that crash to shore
Memories in me
Cocooned in misery
I'm sick and tired
Of embracing reflections of past time
Receive me or cast me away
God please take me away
Resistance
Futile
Suicidal ideas
I will crucify my own being
Satisfy selfish needs, fuck the deities
Justify my own right to what's waiting for me
On the other side of me
The time has come
Lock and load
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming home
Pull me out of body
Don't want it, don't want in
Pull me out of body
Don't want it, don't want in
Pull me out of body
Don't want it, don't want in, feeble frail and rotting
Descending
I'm lost in a structure that's collapsing
Descending
Don't want it, maker take the body
Don't want it, don't want in
Pull me out of body
Don't want it, don't want in, feeble frail and rotting
Descending
I'm lost in a structure that's collapsing
Descending
Don't want it, maker take the body
Don't want it, it wants me
I just want to run around
Fly kites, wrestle, jump and play
Swim through waves that crash to shore
Memories in me
Cocooned in misery
The darkness overcomes
Soul soars to the other plain
Existence past the door
I sail through purgatory's bay
I asked a god for poison cradle me
Sown to my dreams, souls searching
Death blossoms where clouds lie over me
Held in God's hands, death blooming
Dark for fear of failure
An inner gloom as wide as an eye and fermenting
Roiling hate
Deathgrip in my veins
Unveiling rancid petals
Flowering forth foul nectar
The space between a blink and a tear
Death blooms

La muerte florece
El frío parece serpenteante
merodeando por los pasillos, el aroma es espeso
con la era que marcó los días
los reflejos de mi vida se desvanecen
Sácame de este cuerpo
no lo quiero, no lo quiero
débil, frágil y pudriéndose
descendiendo
estoy perdido en una estructura que está colapsando
no la quiero
me niego, creador toma mi cuerpo
no lo quiero, me quiere a mi
El pasado encontró su lugar
ya no hay más salvación
Dios aceptará mi paz, me perdonará
los reflejos de mi vida se desvanecen
Sácame de este cuerpo
no lo quiero, no lo quiero
débil, frágil y pudriéndose
descendiendo
estoy perdido en una estructura que está colapsando
no la quiero
me niego, creador toma mi cuerpo
no lo quiero, me quiere a mi
Yo solo quiero correr
volar cometas, luchar, saltar y jugar
nadar a través de las olas que chocan en la orilla
recuerdos en mi envuelto en la miseria
Estoy harto y cansado
de abrazar los reflejos del pasado
recíbeme o recházame
Dios por favor llévame
Resistencia inútil a ideas suicidas
sacrificaré mi propio ser
satisfaceré necesidades egoistas
joderé a las deidades y justificaré
mi propio derecho a lo que está esperando por mí
En el más allá, mi tiempo ha llegado
de cerrar y cargar
estoy llegando, estoy llegando, estoy llegando a casa
Sácame de este cuerpo
no lo quiero, no lo quiero
débil, frágil y pudriéndose
descendiendo
estoy perdido en una estructura que está colapsando
no la quiero
me niego, creador toma mi cuerpo
no lo quiero, me quiere a mi
Yo solo quiero correr
volar cometas, luchar, saltar y jugar
nadar a través de las olas que chocan en la orilla
recuerdos en mi envuelto en la miseria
la oscuridad se sobrepone
el alma se eleva hacía la otra llanura
la existencia atraviesa la puerta
navego por la bahía del purgatorio
Le pedí a Dios un veneno que me acunara
sembré mis sueños buscando almas
la muerte florece dónde las nubes yacen sobre mi
sostenida en las manos de Dios
la muerte florece
Oscuridad por el miedo al fracaso
una penumbra interior tan amplia como un ojo
y fermentándose, propagando odio
la muerte se aferra a mis venas
encubriendo pétalos rancios
floreciendo asqueroso nectar
el espacio entre el parpadeo y una lágrima
la muerte florece
@Thunshot
This song is apparently about Chad's grandmother growing old and his whole family forgot about her except him. Apparently she drove him to band practices and he experienced a lot of frustration and anger when she died. Pretty heavy.
@duncan91
Damn. That is brutal.
@tr4nsist0r
I think she’d be proud to know this is one of the greatest songs of all time.
@Stuffyoucantunwatch
Reminds me of how frustrated I was with my extended family. Glad I severed my ties with them. Holidays are so much better.
