Fear
Polluted Inheritance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From a place of horror and darkness
Haunted by black witchery
My soul is pulled into the abyss
Fear tortures my mind
Fear drives me insane
Scream out the agony and pain
These lyrics from Polluted Inheritance's song Fear are quite intense and deal with the theme of being under the influence of dark magic. The opening line talks about the recipient of these spells being terrorized by something sinister and dark which is capable of causing harm to their life. The next line refers to the horror and darkness of this place, where the source of this magic and the negative energies originate. As the lyrics progress, it becomes clear that the singer is haunted by black witchery, which has drawn their soul into the abyss - a metaphorical representation of a place of darkness and despair.
The chorus emphasizes the intensity of the emotions playing out in the lyrics. Fear is the dominant emotion, and it is not just a simple emotion but something that is torturing their very being. Fear drives them insane, which also highlights the severity of the situation. The last line of the chorus - "Scream out the agony and pain" - suggests that the singer is in intense emotional pain, and the only outlet to release this pain is by screaming out.
