This Beast We Created
Rafflesia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the blood has been she'd
Hours of pain, my soul seeks for this...
This place, embrace, this silence, this moment...
We all forgot
The breeze of the wind
The smell of trees
So pure as crystal water
For I thought this battle was endless
For I thought this darkness was forever!
When the tears have dried
When wounds have been healed
That's when you realize
Your mind will have scars of...
THIS RAGE, THIS WAR, THIS PAIN IT HAS DIED
Now it's time for clarity
FOR I THOUGHT THIS BEAST WE CREATED WOULD NEVER DIE
For the sun
For you
I lay myself to rest
The lyrics of Rafflesia's song "This Beast We Created" highlight the consequences that come with being consumed by anger and hatred. The opening lines, "As the rage is fed, as the blood has been shed, hours of pain, my soul seeks for this," speaks about how people often hold onto anger and bitterness, allowing it to consume them, which leads them to seek out more pain and suffering. It's almost as if they become addicted to the negative emotions, and it becomes a vicious cycle that they can't break free from.
The following lines, "We all forgot the breeze of the wind, the smell of trees, the warmth of the sun, so pure as crystal water," emphasize how this anger can blind us to the simple pleasures in life that we often take for granted. When we let our emotions get the best of us, we lose sight of what really matters and become trapped in a negative headspace.
The next lines, "When the tears have dried, when wounds have been healed, that's when you realize, your mind will have scars of this rage, this war, this pain it has died, now it's time for clarity," offer a glimmer of hope that it's possible to overcome all the pain and negativity. It highlights that even though the scars may still be present, there's now room for healing and clarity.
Overall, "This Beast We Created" is a powerful reminder of the importance of letting go of negativity and embracing positivity and clarity in life.

As the rage is fed
As our anger grows stronger
As the blood has been she'd
As violence has prevailed
Hours of pain, my soul seeks for this...
After experiencing so much agony, I yearn for this moment
This place, embrace, this silence, this moment...
This setting, where I can find comfort in the stillness of the present
We all forgot
We have neglected
The breeze of the wind
The gentle wind that brushes against us
The smell of trees
The aromatic fragrances of nature
The warmth of the sun
The heat of the sun against our skin
So pure as crystal water
As pure as the clearest water
For I thought this battle was endless
I believed this fight had no end
For I thought this darkness was forever!
I believed this state of hopelessness would never cease
When the tears have dried
When the sorrow has been processed
When wounds have been healed
Once the injuries have had time to recover
That's when you realize
At that point, you understand
Your mind will have scars of...
The memories of
THIS RAGE, THIS WAR, THIS PAIN IT HAS DIED
The anger, conflict, and agony have dissipated
Now it's time for clarity
Now we need to gain clear understanding
FOR I THOUGHT THIS BEAST WE CREATED WOULD NEVER DIE
I believed that this monstrous condition we made would last forever
For the sun
For the light
For you
For your sake
I lay myself to rest
I relinquish myself to sleep
