Sea Of Treachery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Confined to a bed;
The sickness dwells inside you,
In that now vacant chasm.
This scourge has left you
Defiled and broken,
Forgotten and alone.
Your once angelic beauty
Oh gorgeous how you've fallen,
It's a real tragedy;
The shameful life you're leading
Will bring your downfall.
But baby in your future,
In all honesty
The shameful life you're leaving
Won't save you,
From anguish wrought from solitude-
A viral suicide.
This punishment against you
Is more than being used.
Their greed and brazen insouciance are homicidal.
But you were a willing subject,
Far from unaware.
The risks were there before your eyes
Ruined, you wretched whore.
Defiled, you are a crimeless victim.
Ruined, you begged for more.
Lifeless, you're a walking carcass.
You pray the retrovirals
Will boost your immunity.
But now the cancer's spreading;
You've sealed your fate.
You pray the retrovirals
Will boost your immunity.
But now the cancer's spreading;
You've sealed your fate.
There was a fairness in your voice,
Get up, get back, get away from me.
But the inflection that you gave,
It made the world tremble.
Ruined, you wretched whore.
Defiled, you are a crimeless victim.
Ruined, you begged for more.
Lifeless, you're a walking carcass.
The lyrics to Sea Of Treachery's song Skin Deep tell the story of someone suffering from a deadly illness. The first verse describes the person as being confined to a bed and having their once angelic beauty replaced with filth due to the sickness that's taken over their body. The second verse suggests that this person may have turned to a shameful lifestyle, but it won't save them from the anguish that comes with being alone and dealing with a viral suicide.
The third verse seems to shift the focus to the people responsible for this person's illness, framing it as a punishment for their greed and brazen insouciance. However, the lyric "But you were a willing subject, far from unaware" suggests that the sick person may have knowingly engaged in risky behavior. The song comes to a grim conclusion, with the repeated refrain of "Ruined, you wretched whore / Defiled, you are a crimeless victim / Ruined, you begged for more / Lifeless, you're a walking carcass" driving home the finality and tragedy of the situation.
The lyrics of Skin Deep are in keeping with the band's focus on personal struggles with mental and physical health. The song isn't necessarily based on real events, but it speaks to the pain and isolation people can feel when dealing with illness or addiction.
Line by Line Meaning
Riddled with sickness,
Your body is plagued with disease
Confined to a bed;
You are bedridden due to your illness
The sickness dwells inside you,
The illness you have is living within you
In that now vacant chasm.
The disease has left you feeling empty and hollow
This scourge has left you
Your condition has caused great physical and emotional harm
Defiled and broken,
You are tainted and shattered
Forgotten and alone.
You are left behind and isolated
Your once angelic beauty
You were once perceived as pure and lovely
Gives way to complete filth.
Now you are reduced to being disgusting and filthy
Oh gorgeous how you've fallen,
It is a tragedy to see your physical and emotional decline
It's a real tragedy;
Your situation is a true calamity
The shameful life you're leading
The degrading existence you lead
Will bring your downfall.
It will ultimately be the cause of your demise
But baby in your future,
Despite all of this
In all honesty
To be honest
The shameful life you're leaving
The life of shame you lead
Won't save you,
It will not help you
From anguish wrought from solitude-
The loneliness and pain you will experience
A viral suicide.
Your illness will be the cause of your death
This punishment against you
What's happening to you
Is more than being used.
It is more than just being taken advantage of
Their greed and brazen insouciance are homicidal.
The selfishness and indifference of others are causing you to die
But you were a willing subject,
Despite this, you chose to participate
Far from unaware.
You knew exactly what you were getting into
The risks were there before your eyes
You were fully aware of the dangers involved
Ruined, you wretched whore.
You are destroyed and miserable
Defiled, you are a crimeless victim.
You are contaminated without any fault of your own
Ruined, you begged for more.
You continued to seek out the same situation, even though it caused your destruction
Lifeless, you're a walking carcass.
You have lost your vitality and are barely alive
You pray the retrovirals
You hope the medication will help
Will boost your immunity.
Will make your immune system stronger
But now the cancer's spreading;
However, the illness is still advancing
You've sealed your fate.
You are doomed
There was a fairness in your voice,
You spoke truthfully
Get up, get back, get away from me.
You told others to leave you alone
But the inflection that you gave,
The way you said it
It made the world tremble.
It had a profound effect on those who heard it
