Nocturnal Bloodlust Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome... Decay solution of human being. Hello welcome to the party.
Suck the guts out for the hunger.
Scents of bloodly flesh stimulate stupid brain due to take another system of the organ deeply with hatred.
Rotten spit, rotten spit, rotten saliva melt sacred orphan to make him fallen.
Dear my darling.
Unleash yourself
Lost child will not be forgiven, but he will blame for the sarcastic voices.
Innocent brimstone devours past ashes. Revenge. Innovate. Look down on you.

We're sharing everlasting pain. Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was falling. We're sharing everlasting pain. Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was faling into the grave.
Decay solution of human being. Hello welcome to the party.
Suck the guts out for the hunger.
Scents of bloodly flesh stimulate stupid brain due to take another system of the organ deeply with hatred.
Rotten spit, rotten spit, rotten saliva melt sacred orphan to make him fallen.
Dear my darling.
We're sharing everlasting pain. Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was falling. We're sharing everlasting pain. Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was faling into the grave.
Sensitive consciousness is blackout. Drastic scream from cage spreads and fades out.
The echo of foot just tells final opening of this tragedy.
We're sharing everlasting pain. Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was falling. We're sharing everlasting pain. Take us back to the mourning. Greif rain was faling into the grave.

This pain reminds me of disease is suffering life held by you.
Why did you come closer? Today is different than yesterday, well it's too late...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nocturnal Bloodlust's song "Pandemic" depict a scene of gruesome decay and brutal hunger. The singer describes the scents of bloody flesh that stimulate a "stupid brain," leading to the taking of another system of the organ with deep hatred. The use of the word "another" implies a recurring cycle of violence and consumption. The theme of decay is reinforced by the repulsive imagery of rotten spit and saliva melting a sacred orphan to make them fall. The line "Unleash yourself" suggests a letting go of inhibitions, possibly in order to indulge in this violent behavior.

The singer then goes on to describe a shared experience of pain and mourning. The lines "Lost child will not be forgiven, but he will blame for the sarcastic voices" may refer to a sense of guilt or responsibility for the suffering. The repetition of the phrase "We're sharing everlasting pain" emphasizes the collective aspect of this experience. The final lines of the song suggest regret or remorse, questioning why the listener chose to come closer and lamenting that it is now "too late."
