When Frailty Fails
Proem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When frailty pales in comparison
And your bones feel like breaking
When your empty head caves in
You can tear off my arms and take me
I will not complain or fight with you
To save you from your life
When frailty fails to save you [Repeat: x1]
From me

Notice: I distance myself from the artist’s obvious satanic belief. From now on this upload is only here to inform about that.

naissance

were did you learn about his satanics beliefs?

Program 7

From different factors but mostly from his paintings:

@Program 7 you know you can depict evil, darkness or the macabre without being satanic, right? Proem is many things, "satanic" is not one of them.

Program 7

@Xprimentyl If i look at his paintings and some of the words with which he tagged them i don't come around to ask myself if he's not still a satanist. Me personally see many negative aspects in them and often even the typical satanic imagery. Also the fact that he stated once in an interview that here: ''I’m doing a series at the moment that focuses on my two biggest triggers: christianity and animal cruelty''. Of course it's okey that he's against animal cruelty, no problem. But what's the problem with christianity? I mean this fits to the puzzle somehow. The satanic paintings and his reluctance to christianity.

Xprimentyl

@Program 7 it's possible to have issues with Christianity AND not be satanic. Christianity (most religions, if we're being honest) is (are) rife with hypocrisy, and the blind devotion of those that follow them can be infuriating, i.e.: radical Muslims, fundamental Christians, etc. BUT, imagining our demons, visualizing them, manifesting the pain we can subjectively feel, those intangible things that haunt us that we can't articulate devoid of strict religious context, can be ART. THIS is art on everyone's part.

A lifetime spent waiting for a loved one to return and when her time is expiring, she finds her spot by the sea and waits a bit longer. It's hard for me to watch this without remembering. I love you, Dad.
