The Blade
Necrot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hopeless on the merge of time,
Where things take colorless shapes of nothing.
Awaiting to be served with the unexpected stroke of the blade.
We observe as things unfold,
Relieving the unknown from the weight of expectations.
Another wheel has turned,
Left me for dead.
Nails in my head
Shattered dreams,
A castle of hate,
I built through time to host my nightmares.
Endless guests, filling the space in the walls at the castle of hate.
Visions of death,
As we part from life,
Drowning in depths,
In this emptiness.
Fade away into nothingness.
Fade away into the void.
Fragments of words lost in my head.
Pieces of me I cannot leave behind.
A wound that drips down to my feet,
Fixed to this pain to taste reality.
The cut of the blade.
To taste the blade.
The cut of the blade.
Fade away
Into nothingness
Fade away
Into the void
Nails in my head.
Taste the blade, cold as ice,
A burning cut, a burning night.
Show me the way, the way to die.
Don't leave me longing for the blade.
The lyrics of Necrot's song The Blade portray the mental anguish and hopelessness that one feels in the face of imminent death. The opening lines "When the knife finds us, Hopeless on the merge of time" puts forth the situation of someone who has accepted the inevitability of their fate and awaits the final stroke of the blade. The lyrics then go on to describe the feeling of detachment from reality as "things take colorless shapes of nothing" and the weight that "expectations" carry on an individual. The lyrics further elucidate on the sense of hopelessness as "Another wheel has turned, Left me for dead."
The second stanza of the song delves deeper into the mental agony caused by the impending death. It describes a "castle of hate" that one has built over time to host their "nightmares." The "endless guests" that fill the space in the walls of the castle of hate symbolize the haunting memories of past experiences. The lines "Visions of death, As we part from life" portray the surreal experience of life flashing before one's eyes, and "Drowning in depths, In this emptiness" represents the overwhelming feeling of despair.
The chorus of the song, "Fade away into nothingness, Fade away into the void" signifies the acceptance of death, and the line "Nails in my head" represents the mental and emotional pain that one experiences. The final lines "Taste the blade, cold as ice, A burning cut, a burning night" is a poetic metaphor that portrays the physical sensation of the blade cutting through flesh and the ensuing pain.

When the knife finds us,
When we are faced with our own mortality,
Hopeless on the merge of time,
Without hope, at the brink of death,
Where things take colorless shapes of nothing.
In a place where all value and meaning is lost,
Awaiting to be served with the unexpected stroke of the blade.
Anticipating the sudden and inevitable end of life,
We observe as things unfold,
We watch as events play out before us,
Relieving the unknown from the weight of expectations.
Freeing ourselves from the burden of the unknown future,
Another wheel has turned,
Time continues its inexorable march forward,
Left me for dead.
Leaving me to face the end of my life alone.
Nails in my head
Feeling overwhelmed and tormented by my own thoughts.
Shattered dreams,
The destruction of my hopes and aspirations,
A castle of hate,
A self-made prison of anger and bitterness,
I built through time to host my nightmares.
Created over time to contain the horrors of my own mind.
Endless guests, filling the space in the walls at the castle of hate.
My negative thoughts and feelings filling every part of me,
Visions of death,
Thoughts of my own impending demise,
As we part from life,
As we depart from the world of the living,
Drowning in depths,
Overwhelmed and consumed by despair,
In this emptiness.
Feeling alone and worthless in my suffering.
Fade away into nothingness.
Cease to exist and be forgotten by the world.
Fade away into the void.
Disappear into an empty and meaningless existence.
Fragments of words lost in my head.
Little pieces of memories and thoughts missing and gone.
Pieces of me I cannot leave behind.
Parts of myself that will always accompany me,
A wound that drips down to my feet,
An emotional pain so intense that it affects me physically,
Fixed to this pain to taste reality.
Trapped in my agony as a reminder of my own existence.
The cut of the blade.
The physical and emotional pain of death.
To taste the blade.
To be consumed by the experience of death,
Taste the blade, cold as ice,
The sharp and cold sensation of the end of life,
A burning cut, a burning night.
The intense feeling of pain and finality as death arrives.
Show me the way, the way to die.
Asking for guidance and direction towards the end of life,
Don't leave me longing for the blade.
Asking to be saved from the desire to experience death.
