Seductive Hate
Myriads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through shields of misery, undying journey
I will rise above you
/
From o'er, I see you in the valleys
Being wasted, weak and miserable
My hate is stronger than yours
/
Hate rising like wings from a raven
Being darkest in the night; I am shimmering
But you will always be near me (but still I need you)
The cosmic storms are everlasting
Explosive chemistry between you and me
I will rise above you
/
From o'er, I see you in the valleys
Being wasted, weak and miserable
I always will be the invincible (my spirit forever high)
My hate is stronger than yours
/
Hate rising like wings from a raven
Being darkest in the night; I am shimmering
But you will always be near me (but still I need you)
The strongest feelings of man makes us slaves of each other
We seek, we find, we love, we hate
Cold bloody people, seem to be
Face firmly stuck, cannot be torn free
Sorrows too dark for the day to see
Bound by seduction - immortal greed
The pale-faced moon looking coldly at the earth
Her gaze reflected from a superior force
To dreamers of the night she brings magical signs
She reveals the truth: the fear of mine
Rays from above cover my anger
Like dark shadows from my own betrayal
My deepest wounds of hidden pain
Shreds my thoughts and rapes my brain
In our grandiose flight, thoughts collide and die
We collapse in hate, our dishearted pride
I will rise up to you
/
I am coming to meet you in the valleys
When you're wasted and weak and miserable
I always will be the invincible (but my spirit is too weak to fight)
My hate is bleached by yours
/
Hate dawning like wings from a raven
Being darkest in the night; I am shimmering
And you will always be near me (I truly need you)
The lyrics to Myriads’ song “Seductive Hate” describe a timeless journey with a central theme of hate, which remains ever-present throughout. The song illustrates a struggle between two forces, and one party’s hatred is portrayed as stronger than the other’s. The first part of the song talks about the undying journey and the misery that shields the parties from one another’s understanding. In this sense, the journey is not simply a physical one but is instead an emotional and psychological journey as well. The singer reveals his stronger will to rise above his opponent, who he sees in the valleys as “wasted, weak, and miserable.”
The second part of the lyrics talks about how, even though they are different, the two parties are inseparable; the strongest feelings of man make us slaves of each other. The song ends with the singer rising up to meet his opponent, weakened and vulnerable. His hate is bleached by that of his opponent, and he needs the hate from the other party to fuel his strength. In essence, the song highlights the struggle, power dynamics, and dependency that exist between two opposing forces, but with a central theme of hate running through it all.
Line by Line Meaning
In aeons of time we travel afar
We have been traveling for a long time
Through shields of misery, undying journey
Despite the misery, our journey continues
I will rise above you
I will become greater than you
From o'er, I see you in the valleys
I see you in the low points of your life
Being wasted, weak and miserable
You are in a state of hopelessness
My hate is stronger than yours
My hatred is more intense than yours
Hate rising like wings from a raven
My hatred is powerful and all-encompassing
Being darkest in the night; I am shimmering
My hatred shines the brightest in the darkness
But you will always be near me
You will always be in my thoughts
The cosmic storms are everlasting
The turmoil between us will never end
Explosive chemistry between you and me
Our relationship is volatile
The strongest feelings of man makes us slaves of each other
Our intense emotions keep us bound to each other
We seek, we find, we love, we hate
We experience a range of emotions in our relationship
Cold bloody people, seem to be
We appear heartless and cruel
Face firmly stuck, cannot be torn free
We are trapped in our ways and cannot change
Sorrows too dark for the day to see
Our pain is hidden
Bound by seduction - immortal greed
Our attraction to each other keeps us bound in a never-ending cycle
The pale-faced moon looking coldly at the earth
The moon symbolizes the cold truth
Her gaze reflected from a superior force
The moon's power is greater than ours
To dreamers of the night she brings magical signs
The moon provides hope to those who dream at night
She reveals the truth: the fear of mine
The truth is that I am afraid
Rays from above cover my anger
Divine intervention has quelled my anger
Like dark shadows from my own betrayal
My own betrayal has cast a dark shadow on me
My deepest wounds of hidden pain
I am carrying deep pain within me
Shreds my thoughts and rapes my brain
My pain is affecting my thoughts and mental wellbeing
In our grandiose flight, thoughts collide and die
We clash and our ideas are destroyed
We collapse in hate, our dishearted pride
Our hatred destroys us and our pride fades away
I will rise up to you
I will come to meet you
I am coming to meet you in the valleys
I will be with you in the low points of your life
When you're wasted and weak and miserable
When you are at your lowest
My hate is bleached by yours
Your hatred has weakened mine
Hate dawning like wings from a raven
Our hatred is still growing
And you will always be near me
You will always have a place in my life
I truly need you
I really do need you

Lástima que solo sacaron 2 discos, tengo los dos y son buenísimos, aunque me gusta mas el primero. Es buenísimo, lo uso para arruyarme cuando no puedo dormir y para manejar, me relaja mucho.

The way I found this band was this: I was on this shitty 4 hour walking trip with 1700 other 8ths graders (here in Norway). And then I met this man with long hair, and he looked metal. And I asked him about it. And we got talking, turns out he's the vocalist and guitarist here. (Alexander). They're fucking awesome.
