Possession
Nox Doloris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The air corrodes lungs
Suppresses the poisoned mind
Dictates other's will
Enslaving me

I keep being told
There's no stopping fate
You shall be crushed!
You'll be crucified!

The fate
Fulfills
The uppance
Draws near
I want
My curse
My anger
Run amok
I'm a corpse
Fear and storm
Are inside
The fate
Abide me
Insane
Believe me
I'm possessed

Demons speak to me
My secrets are in their grasp
They see what I can't see
Compell, manipulate
The all-forgiving God
I am your perfect creation
Deliver me from them
Reveal your power
My faith stands weak
The truth is tearing me
I want to face death
With dignity

It is only a man without sin
That they cannot dominate

They speak to me
They whisper me
Announce me your name
Deliver me
And make no harm
You are after my life
Announce me your name
Obey and begone!

Dominus tecum...




Imperat tibi! Tacedum!
Vade Satana!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nox Doloris's song Possession describe the feelings of being controlled and enslaved by external forces, be it fate, other people's will or even demons. The air is described as poisonous and the mind is weakened, leaving the singer vulnerable to manipulation. Destiny seems to be a recurring theme throughout the song, with the lyrics mentioning that fate cannot be stopped and that the singer will be crushed and crucified.


The singer seems to have lost control and given up on their own free will, feeling possessed and at the mercy of demons that see everything they can't. The all-forgiving God is mentioned as a possible solution, but the singer's faith stands weak and the truth is tearing them apart. They seem to be looking towards death as a way to regain some dignity and control.


Overall, the lyrics to Possession are quite bleak and describe a sense of powerlessness and despair. The imagery used is quite vivid and impactful, with the air corroding lungs and fear and storm inside. The idea that fate is predetermined and uncontrollable creates a sense of inevitability, with the singer resigned to their own fate.
