Scourge
Parham Gharavaisi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vultures chewing on, our integrity
No sanctuary, no serenity
Defile the broken bones, of the enemy
To feast on others' fall, adore another's suffering
Say better you than I, iris blossoms withering
Desperation, desecration: Greed...
Abnegation, ruination: Bleed, forever...Pay for: Tragedy
With humanity...
Consume: Calamity
Inhumanity...
Drama we exchange, like commodity
Cradle of despair, our fantasy
Stare at the TV, seek obscenity
Demented entity, drown in agony
To feast on others' fall, adore another's suffering
Say better you than I, snowdrop blooms withering
Violation, domination: Greed...
Isolation, no salvation: Bleed, forever...
Pay for: Tragedy
With humanity...
Consume: Calamity
Inhumanity...
The lyrics to Parham Gharavaisi's song "Scourge" tackle the theme of the lack of empathy and the negative impact it has on society. The song starts by describing how some people thrive on tragedy, metaphorically comparing them to vultures feeding on the integrity of others. There is a sense of no escape or serenity from this behavior, as even the broken bones of the enemy are defiled. The lyrics suggest that there is a sick fascination with the suffering of others, often preferring their demise over personal success. This attitude is depicted as evidence of our society's desperate greed, leading to ruination and a continuous cycle of bleeding and suffering.
The second verse continues to explore these themes, emphasizing the exchange of drama as a commodity that fuels our despair. The lyrics mention staring at the TV, seeking obscenity and indulging in a demented entity. This highlights the power of media to both expose and exploit the suffering of others, further fueling our collective agony. The snowdrop blooms withering metaphor serves to remind us of the consequences of this mindset, where the beauty and innocence of life are destroyed. The lyrics suggest that this behavior ultimately leads to isolation and the absence of salvation, as the never-ending bleeding and consumption of calamity contribute to a dehumanizing existence.
