Methods of chaos
Rabia Sorda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Play my next note
It seems you've waited for long
To carry on
Madness old pal
Keep the shadows from me
And taste the chaos in my mind
Come take me
Sometimes it seems
The world comes to an end
Sometimes pain goes away
But not today
Today it all broke into pieces...
Applauses fade away
Stupid smiles
Good night I have to go
Lights turn off right behind me
Methods of Chaos
You're all unknown
Hiding in the corners of life
Inside me
Methods of Chaos you make feel all this is only
A waste, I'll live as long as these fingers move
So I don't get fucking insane
Methods of Chaos you drove me to this place and left me
All by myself, a forever waits at the end
And a never hunts me, embraces me
The lyrics of Rabia Sorda's song "Methods of Chaos" depict the singer's relationship with madness, which they refer to as their friend and old pal. The singer seems to have waited for madness to come back to them so they can continue down the chaotic path they were on before. The chaos in the singer's mind is personified as a taste that madness can experience. The singer then speaks of the uncertainty of the world, explaining how pain may go away on some days, but on this particular day, everything seems to have broken into pieces.
The song then moves to a chorus where the singer begs for "Methods of Chaos" to bring order to the chaos inside them. "Methods of Chaos" is not a singular method, however, they're all unknown and hiding in the corners of life within the singer's mind. The singer claims to need the chaos; it keeps them from going insane. However, the love they have for chaos also leads them to a place where they're all by themselves, and there's a forever waiting for them at the end. They're being hunted by the never, which they seem to welcome and embrace, and the song ends on this note.
