Succubi
Phathom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For untold eons
They walked the earth
He'll take your
Your life away
He'll hold your breath
Until you die
He said our souls are one
No need to breath
And they will gather
And be gather
The vessel powers life
Woah Watching me
Woah Hunting me
Hold me down no more
Woah Prey off me
Woah Bleeding me
Rise up
From the grave
They wake
World will (bleed)
I see your pain
That traps me here
And I long to release
Your of from it bleeds




Rise once more
Rise once more...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Phathom’s song Succubi describe the power and danger of succubi, which are female demons who seduce men in their dreams in order to have sexual relations with them and ultimately drain their life force. The opening lines, “For untold eons, they walked the earth,” suggest that these demons have been around for a very long time and pose a significant threat to humanity. The lyrics go on to describe the way a succubus takes a victim’s life by holding their breath until they die. The demon claims that their souls are one and that breathing is no longer necessary. The line “The vessel powers life” may refer to the human body as a vessel that the succubus uses to feed on the victim’s life force.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrases “Woah, watching me, hunting me, hold me down no more, woah, prey off me, woah, bleeding me, rise up from the grave they wake, world will bleed.” This chorus emphasizes the danger and threat posed by the succubi, specifically the idea that they are watching and hunting the victim, holding them down, and bleeding them dry. The lyrics end with the plea to “rise once more”, possibly a call to an eventual resurrection or a warning to the succubi that their victims will someday rise up against them.
