Whore Disciple
Sanguis et Cinis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For every demon I defeat
One million others do appear
So much to hide
so much to conceal
I don't want to see
I don't want to feel
Further down the spiral of loss
I've been running through my fingers
I've been losing myself again
All the empty mirrors
watching every step I do
And every mistake
mistake
mistake
It's just a short lived joke in a stupid act
Whose tragic hero I am
Words of sin flicker across the wall
I fall
The audience is delighted

Can you see me standing there
selling my soul again
I lost myself again
Can you see me standing there
selling myself again
I lost my way again
Can you see me stnading there
selling my soul again
I lost my pride again
Can you see me standing there
selling myself again
I lost myself again

The cut is deeper this time
The sound waves are draining away
As the needless cross their way
The devil is dancing tonight
Through my veins
See me saying once more
Wanna have some fun, Dear?
I sold my soul again

Can you see me standing there
selling my soul again
I lost myself again
Can you see me standing there
selling myself again
I lost my way again
Can you see me standing there
selling my soul again
I lost my pride again
Can you see me standing there
selling myself again
I lost myself again

I lost myself again
I lost myself again




I lost myself again
...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sanguis et Cinis's song Whore Disciple appear to be a commentary on the destructive cycle of addiction and self-destructive behavior. The singer describes defeating one demon, only for one million others to appear in its place – a metaphor for how difficult it can be to break free from the grip of addiction. The lines "so much to hide, so much to conceal" convey a sense of shame and secrecy, which can often accompany addiction.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Can you see me standing there selling my soul again," suggesting that the singer is aware of the harm they are causing themselves but feels powerless to change. The line "the cut is deeper this time" implies that the singer is engaging in increasingly self-destructive behavior and that the consequences are becoming more severe. The final lines, "I lost myself again" repeated multiple times, make it clear that the singer feels trapped in this cycle of addiction and that they have lost sight of who they truly are.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of hopelessness and despair in the face of addiction. The singer is aware of the harm they are causing themselves but feels powerless to change and is stuck in a cycle of self-destruction.
