Dominion
R. Armando Morabito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m soaking in.
Lifelessness surrounding me,
I’m breathing in.
Intoxicated and filthy,
This beast in me,
Incarcerated for nothing,
Just set me free.
Disconnect the empty.
We shall sink into
The oblivion of disgrace,
To face his wrath,
As we fall from this mortal shell.
Endless bestiality, away from your tranquility.
Ease my mind from temptation,
As I feast on reality.
Step into the ebb of disease and plague,
Step away from the…
Guiding light!
Victim of Paralysis,
Our bodies covered in leech,
Lesions tear my face in half
Rotting, my breathing veins.
Cradled in a lifeless mind,
Our worlds shall now collide.
Infectious, vicious and filthy,
This beast in me.
Lifelessness surrounding me,
I’m breathing in.
Intoxicated and filthy,
Just set me free!
The lyrics of R. Armando Morabito's song "Dominion" depict the struggle of the persona who is invaded by desolation and lifelessness. The persona feels trapped in a beast, that is filthy and vicious, and incarcerated for no reason, which led the persona to wish for freedom. The first line "Desolation invades me, I'm soaking in," depicts the despair felt by the persona, who seems to be drowning in his own despair. The repeated lines "Intoxicated and filthy, This beast in me" emphasize how the persona feels trapped and helpless.
The chorus, "We shall sink into The oblivion of disgrace, To face his wrath, As we fall from this mortal shell," suggests a surrender to death due to the feeling of being trapped and, at the same time, an anticipation of facing a higher power, that might judge their actions. The second verse portrays the afflictions of the body being plagued by disease and the persona's hallucination of being covered in leeches, and lesions tearing their face apart. The persona cradles in a lifeless mind, which represents a feeling of depression and a sense of being directionless.
In the end, the persona demands to be set free from the intoxication and filthiness, which suggests a longing for escape from the internal turmoil. The song depicts a sense of despair and helplessness and the persona's longing for freedom and escape.

Desolation invades me,
I feel overwhelmingly empty and hopeless.
I’m soaking in.
I'm letting this feeling completely consume me.
Lifelessness surrounding me,
I'm completely surrounded by emptiness and lack of vitality.
I’m breathing in.
Even as I take in air, I feel as if I'm suffocating.
Intoxicated and filthy,
I'm under the influence and surrounded by filth.
This beast in me,
I'm filled with an uncontrollable animalistic nature.
Incarcerated for nothing,
I'm trapped without cause.
Just set me free.
I long for the freedom to escape this darkness.
Disconnect the empty.
Separate oneself from the empty feeling and situation.
We shall sink into
We will succumb to.
The oblivion of disgrace,
A state of shame and ruin.
To face his wrath,
To confront the punishment.
As we fall from this mortal shell.
As we lose our human form and descend into another state.
Endless bestiality, away from your tranquility.
A state of never-ending animalistic behavior, far from peace and calmness.
Ease my mind from temptation,
Help me find peace from the lure of vice.
As I feast on reality.
As I embrace the harshness of the world.
Step into the ebb of disease and plague,
Enter a place of sickness and destruction.
Step away from the…
Move away from...
Guiding light!
The light that guides towards a better place.
Victim of Paralysis,
Feeling powerless and unable to move forward.
Our bodies covered in leech,
Our bodies being drained and consumed by parasites.
Lesions tear my face in half
Injuries and damage ripping me apart emotionally.
Rotting, my breathing veins.
Deteriorating, corrupting my very life force.
Cradled in a lifeless mind,
Living in a mental state of emptiness and death.
Our worlds shall now collide.
Our paths will intersect and clash, with grave consequences.
Infectious, vicious and filthy,
Filled with sickness, brutality, and corruption.
Just set me free!
I plead for liberation from this painful state of being.
