The lyrics to Nocturnal Bloodlust's song DEAD END describe a sense of frustration and hopelessness in the face of an uncertain future. The singer expresses a lack of direction or purpose, stating that their "aim is nothing forever" and that their path forward will likely lead to "nothing". Despite this, the singer claims that they will not be deterred by their own doubts or the judgement of others ("No one can take my hands") and instead chooses to reject those who say they should strive for fame or success ("Do you wanna be a big superstar?... 'No, you cannot be like that.'").
The chorus reveals the extent of the singer's dissatisfaction with their life: "My life is bullshit. It brings me down". Despite this, they call on others to join them in making noise and rejecting the status quo ("Come everybody, make fucking noise"). The repeated lines "I would drown the people / You drown people" suggest a desire to confront and overthrow those who have caused their misery, although it's not made clear who these people are.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment with society and a longing for change, while also acknowledging the difficulty of forging a new path.
