[lyrics by T. Dossogne & S. Austin]

Bite the hand that feeds on fear
Waiting for the night's sorrow
I'm the clown of black and blue
If they shoot that's why I'll shoot
Finally free
Feel love nor hate
Worked so hard and feels so good
Lived my life misunderstood
Why I killed a world so good?
Too bad I'm misunderstood
Wish you were dead…
Wish you were dead…
Motherless
Fatherless
Forever seems so close
Sure you'll feel pain and sorrow
It only lasts for so long
I commit to human fate
This is how I like to live
Bigger than you and I, once again
I always die!
Blind journey into unreal dementia
I'm left with no choice but letting go
I am safe, the eye is open
I am safe, the eye is open
Wish you were dead!
Wish you were dead!
Blind journey into unreal dementia




I'm left with no choice but letting go
Lost all my senses

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Psalm's song "Closure" explore themes of pain, confusion, and desolation. The first few lines "Bite the hand that feeds on fear / Waiting for the night's sorrow" suggest a sense of restlessness and anxiety. The singer is clearly not satisfied with the status quo and perhaps feels trapped or oppressed by the world around them. They describe themselves as "the clown of black and blue," suggesting that they feel like they are constantly putting on a brave face despite suffering internally.


Despite this sense of discomfort, there is also a sense of release and freedom that's present in the song. The singer claims to be "Finally free / Feel love nor hate," suggesting that they have found some sort of inner peace. However, they also question their own actions: "Why I killed a world so good? / Too bad I'm misunderstood." This line hints at a deep sense of guilt and confusion. The singer seems to feel like they have hurt the world around them in some way, and perhaps don't fully understand why.


As the song progresses, the themes of confusion and desolation become even more pronounced. The singer admits that they are "Motherless / Fatherless," which suggests a deep sense of isolation and loneliness. They go on to describe a "Blind journey into unreal dementia," which paints a picture of someone who is lost and confused, unsure of what is happening around them. Despite this confusion, however, there is still a sense of defiance and strength in the lyrics. The singer declares that they are "Bigger than you and I, once again," suggesting that they have found a sense of power and resilience within themselves.


Overall, "Closure" is a complex and emotionally charged song that explores themes of pain, confusion, and resilience. While the singer clearly feels lost and disconnected from the world around them, there is also a strong sense of inner strength and resilience that shines through in the lyrics.
