My Damnation
Os Catalépticos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Separates me from life
Locked in the darkness
Now I want to live
Tighten up In this coffin walls
Dressed in my shroud
My chest bursts for air
I know I was wrong In hushing up
And not revealing My damnation
If I had any time left It would be too late
Any effort would be my last
Save my strength Until the arrive of death
Slow death is my damnation
Hushed up in the solid walls
Of this fatal shallow grave
Weakness takes over me
I know I was wrong In hushing up
And not revealing My damnation
The lyrics of "My Damnation" by Os Catalépticos are haunting and eerie. The song appears to be about death and the regret of not revealing a secret before dying.

The second verse describes the sensation of suffocation in the coffin. The lines "Tighten up In this coffin walls/Dressed in my shroud/My chest bursts for air" build up the imagery of a confined space and the struggling of the singer to breathe. The singer realizes that they made a mistake by not revealing a secret, and now they are paying for it in death. The lines "I know I was wrong/In hushing up/And not revealing/My damnation" suggest that the singer held on to a dark secret that they regret keeping hidden.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of damnation and death, emphasizing the singer's regret at not revealing their secret. The line "Slow death is my damnation" reinforces the idea of the singer's slow suffocation in the coffin, while the line "Weakness takes over me" suggests that the singer is giving up and accepting their fate.
