Sterile Nails and Thunderbowels
Silencer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vast Souls
And Inhumans,
Bitten By Infected Jaws

Abandoned Minds
And Corpses
Lurking With Moulded Eyes
Lacerated Bodies
Without Mourners
Nodding In Gallows

Crushed Skulls
Tasting The Fur
Of Dying Cats

Needles, Injecting Pain
Flamable Skin
And Deadly Thirst
Beyond Mind
Is Sleep To Be Found
Leap, Leap, Leap, Leap
From Life,




Leave Yourself,
Die With Me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Silencer's "Sterile Nails and Thunderbowels" create a dark and macabre image of the world, with forced alliteration and repetition emphasizing the brutality and despair of the singer's surroundings. Vast souls and inhumans - perhaps referring to the living dead - are bitten by infected jaws, adding to the grimness of the opening lines. The portrayal of abandoned minds and corpses, lurking with molded eyes, serves to compound the unsettling melancholy of the song. Lacerated bodies, without mourners, nod in gallows, offering a bleak picture of death and languishment.


As the song progresses, the vivid language continues to orate the misery of the subject, including the skull-crushing and fur-ingesting of dying cats. The lyrics allude to the use of needles injecting pain and some form of deadly thirst, resulting in flammable skin. The haunting image of sleep beyond mind is presented to balance out the chaos in the reality of the world. In the end, the lines urge the singer or listener to leave behind their life, die with the singer, and escape into the afterlife, beyond the misery and torment of their present existence.

@Justin Bishoff I find that heroin addicts notices a lot details in lyrics all genres (but especially degenerated dsbm related to urban negativism and mental illness) could be about destructive behaviors and effects of opiates or opioids, also the only possible positive in dsbm must be about sedative pure happiness of their potential ideal dose of heroin. I think it's understable cause if you once had thought about heroin it's the only relief in your deep sickness, it will take all away - as it's pain, disease, as all other things and people you ever had. Injections like kisses on the morning light and for the goodnight because you can't sleep without feeling ground like a comfortable pillow, closing one eye effect. There's no more tommorow without it, no mental health without it, and no yourself as you truly are. The oldest heroinists says "use or die mentality", I didn't really understand this phrase untill heroin gave me the only positive I can feel with my cureless suffering mind.
You see H in anythig you have in your isolated existence.
You have only one fear - not having your dose, or sometimes when you can't find the right vein, eventually.
The ceremony of injecting diamorphine is now your moments of knowing silnce with the closest soulmate, like act of love. It won't hurt you. Never.
It will take your breath, holding you once stronger, longer, deeper in sweet decadance till permanent death.
There's no cure or substitute substance for finally feel alive, while society thinks your life is worth losing.
Lost.
Blood-brain second(s). 1ml, 1 shot is not enough. First, then 10 times is normal. (Use or DIE)
Finally.
Nothing.

4:16 when you defeat the boss, but him has a other form

@prophecyBC

Nice comparison, haha.

@crowmigration8245

I used to scream this in the car. It helped. I also like when they just speak the name of the song. Lunar Aurora did it a lot.

@chrismeister77

Black metal is about atmosphere to me and this sums it up perfectly. Deranged vocals with solid riffs and an uneasy atmosphere with a bit of madness in it. Exactly what I signed up for

@boltnation6456

Couldn't have said it better myself

@TronLennonMusic

Very well put. For me to enjoy black metal it has to have THAT atmosphere AND somehow be catchy. Therefore, I'm extremely picky with it, and am ridiculed by the few friends I have that are, let's say bm connoisseurs..😅 my top three are dark throne's a blaze in the northern sky, vikingland by satyricon, and this fucking masterpiece.

@Redhairedviking09

Man, you can really feel it in his voice how tormented his mind was when he wrote this.

@erhansolhan9564

He spent his years in mental hospital after when he released this album. Cause of major depression and schizophrenia. I am curious about his life...

@adventurefreak3532

He actually cut himself/hurt himself to scream harder!

@fotismonocheir1446

@@adventurefreak3532 Thats aChTcHuAlLy a lie!
