Abyss
Project Pitchfork Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The ability to see makes me wonder
Whether there is a hole in the ground - or in my mind
Like the hole inside my heart
It swallows anything which comes close
If we dare to look down
Something lives inside this hole
And it screams from time to time
And it pulls me down into the absence of all sense
Asking all the questions ever asked
But it Listens only to itself

So, I had to appear in a mirror
To the questions asked by no one
For the very first time this gave light
Into the darkness of the soul
Shattered dreams are the pillows
For the hurt one who lives inside this hole
And he screams from time to time
For the absence of sense - like in this rhyme
Which is a shrine for all the ones who see
The hole in his heart - is the hole in the ground
The hole in his heart - is the hole in the ground
Which was never there 'cause it ate itself
Within the answers always asked

It never dared to be
So it screams from time to time




It never dared to be
So it screams from time to time

Overall Meaning

The song "Abyss" by Project Pitchfork is a powerful and thought-provoking piece that deals with the concept of an inner void that consumes us. The lyrics describe the feeling of being pulled into a dark and bottomless hole, where nothing makes sense and questions are left unanswered.

The lyrics also describe a sense of isolation and despair that comes from being trapped within this hole, with shattered dreams serving as a painful reminder of what could have been. However, there is also a glimmer of hope in the idea of appearing in a mirror, which sheds light into the dark corners of the soul and provides a way out. The song ends on a poignant note, with the realization that the hole in our heart is also the hole in the ground, and that we must face our fears and find the courage to be.


Overall, "Abyss" is a complex and emotionally charged song that explores the themes of inner turmoil, existential dread, and the struggle to find meaning in a chaotic world. It is a testament to the power of music to evoke deep emotions and touch the hearts of listeners, and stands as a powerful example of what alternative music can achieve when it dares to venture into darker territories.
