As Above So Below
New Vegas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though your eyes the can deceive
Nothing's ever as it seems
It's forever haunting me
All the lies behind my teeth
All the rage, a vicious fiend
There's an animal in me
It's forever calling
All the bloody horror that lies in me
The violence is locked within
Clawing at the surface beneath my skin
Some say "you choose what you believe"
But your mind can be deceived
Nothing's ever as it seems
It's forever haunting me
Now the beast it needs to feed
And find a place to sink its teeth
There's an animal in me
It's forever calling
Abandon me and you will see
All the bloody horror that lies in me
The violence is locked within
Clawing at the surface beneath my skin
Taking no comfort in solace I've found
Breaking the shackles that kept me held down
Blind to the madness, deaf to the sound
With faith in my demons, will hell be my crown
Abandon me and you will see
All the bloody horror that lies in me
The violence is locked within
Clawing at the surface beneath my skin
Trapped inside my memory far away where no one can see
The violence is locked within
Clawing at the surface beneath my skin
As Above So Below is a song that explores the duality of human nature - the animalistic, violent impulses that reside within us all, and the struggle to keep them contained. The lyrics indicate that appearances can be deceiving, and that what lies beneath the surface may be far more sinister than what we see on the outside. The opening lines - "some say 'to see is to believe'/though your eyes can deceive/nothing's ever as it seems/it's forever haunting me" - set the stage for the song's themes of deception and internal struggles.
The song's chorus reinforces this idea, as it describes the violent impulses that reside within the singer - "there's an animal in me/it's forever calling/abandon me and you will see/all the bloody horror that lies in me/the violence is locked within/clawing at the surface beneath my skin". The use of animal imagery is particularly interesting, as it suggests that the violent impulses are primal and instinctual, rather than rational or logical.
The final lines of the song - "trapped inside my memory/far away where no one can see/the violence is locked within/clawing at the surface beneath my skin" - suggest that the singer is trapped within his own mind, unable to escape the violent impulses that reside within him.
