Agony
Murderworks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deed was justified, Nothing to fear
I'm an outlaw now, there's nowhere to go
But I do not fear to be captured
Now we are even with the past shit
The bubbles under will not erupt
Too late to regret, it is done now
Hands in dirt, head just a mess
The agony and pain
Helps to clear my head
This decision
Was easier than ever
I feel rational, this was meant to be
But all this filth just makes it so unreal
Someone needs to clean up this mess
Causing my head to explode (to explode)
I'm all alone, can't tell to anyone
But the voices in me are just as real
This burden is getting too heavy to cope
It's time to end the pain, and let myself go
The agony and pain
Helps to clear my head
This decision
Was easier than ever before
Sudden moment flicks before my eyes
What is done did not make everything allright
Loud and clear, voices in my head
Have taken total control in me
I feel confident, everything is clear
Deed was justified, Nothing to fear
I'm an outlaw now, there's no way out
But I do not fear to be captured
I feel rational, this was meant to be
But all this filth just makes it so unreal
Someone needs to clean up this mess
Causing my head to explode (to explode)
The agony and pain
Helps to clear my head
This decision
Was easier than ever
Sudden moment flicks before my eyes
What is done did not make everything right
Loud and clear, voices in my head
Have taken total control in me
The song "Agony" by the Finnish death metal band Murderworks explores the mind of a person who has committed a crime and must now come to terms with the consequences of their actions. The lyrics express confidence and clarity in the decision made, suggesting that the deed was justified and there is nothing to fear. However, as the song progresses, the singer begins to grapple with the weight of their actions and the burden becomes too heavy to bear.
The chorus of the song, "The agony and pain helps to clear my head, this decision was easier than ever before," suggests that the singer believes that the agony and pain they are experiencing is somehow justifying their actions. However, the sudden moment that flickers before their eyes reminds them that what they have done did not make everything right. The voices in their head have taken total control over them and they feel completely alone in their struggle.
The lyrics of "Agony" illustrate the turmoil of a person who has committed a crime and is now trying to come to terms with it. The line "Someone needs to clean up this mess" implies that the singer knows that they need help, but they are unable to reach out. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer feeling like there is no way out and yet not fearing capture.
