None Will Escape
Six Feet Under Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will be killed
And dissected
Internal organs putrefy
Upheaval of your life and everyday routine
Disturbed and torn to pieces
Psychotic, unforgiving dark energy devours
I am your fucking savior
We have become a shell of what we were
A shadow of a daydream
A bloated hog to kill
So I take my vengeance
And you all will pay
Debt for all your hate
None will escape
The beast of beasts
The evil within us all
Let go of the teachings of the lying faith
Controller of souls
The darkness awaits us all
Blood of the child
Screams of the virgin mother
The lyrics to Six Feet Under's song "None Will Escape" paint a bleak picture of violence, destruction and a complete lack of hope. The opening line, "None will escape," sets the tone for what follows: "You will be killed and dissected." The track has a violent, aggressive tone, with a sense of chaos and turmoil that is palpable. References to the internal organs putrefying and a psychotic, unforgiving dark energy devouring add to the horror.
The second half of the song takes on a more philosophical tone with lines like "The beast of beasts/The evil within us all/Let go of the teachings of the lying faith." These lyrics suggest a nihilistic worldview where humanity is inherently corrupt and worthy of destruction. The use of religious imagery, with references to the "screams of the virgin mother," only reinforces this sense of a world gone dark.
Overall, the lyrics to "None Will Escape" are a chilling reminder of the darkest corners of human nature. The song challenges listeners to consider their own capacity for violence and destruction, and to confront the reality that none of us are truly safe from these forces.
