Infernal Visions
Sacrifice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mutilation of my soul comes in gradually
Nightmares of flame come into sight
To hell my mind takes its subconscious plight
Death in dreams, hellish thoughts
Infernal visions battles been fought
Trapped in mind waiting for daybreak
Maggots feed upon the brains of the demised
Death is real I've slowly died
To the ruler of the abyss I've been beckoned
From the world of reality I've been summoned
The lyrics of Sacrifice’s song “Infernal Visions” speak to the idea of the subconscious being a dark and terrifying place. The opening line, “Conscious mind is closed off to reality,” suggests that the person is not able to fully grasp what is happening to them, as their mind is not fully aware. The line “Mutilation of my soul comes in gradually” further emphasizes that the person is not in control and that their soul is being destroyed bit by bit. The nightmares of fire and battle suggest that the person is fighting a losing battle against their subconscious.
The next stanza speaks to the idea that the person is trapped within their own mind. “Death in dreams, hellish thoughts / Infernal visions battles been fought / Trapped in mind waiting for daybreak / Already dead I can't awake” implies that the person is unable to escape their own thoughts, and that they are tormented by their own subconscious. The last two lines of the song, “To the ruler of the abyss I've been beckoned / From the world of reality I've been summoned,” suggest that the person has been pulled away from reality and is now living in the abyss of their mind. The song speaks to the idea of how our subconscious can be a dark and dangerous place, and how it can sometimes take over our lives.
